Unlike what its name suggests, Fang Jia Seafood Kitchen isn't so much a full-fledged restaurant as a hidden gem of a zichar stall, tucked away in an industrial building's canteen.
Don't let its unassuming appearance fool you though, the newly-opened stall is operated by the same people behind the successful Cucina Italian restaurant chain.

That said, they offer well-loved zichar dishes made with fresh ingredients, and the effort shows.
While there were hits and misses — don't bother ordering the rather bland-tasting Prawn Paste Chicken; the majority of the dishes were tasty.
Here are five dishes we loved:

The best steamed fishes are simply executed, with sprigs of spring onion, ginger, soy sauce and Chinese wine. Their rendition is no different, and delicious to boot.
