Your next dinner spot - Authentic Chinese food 😍

Hi zesties! 🍋

Was invited to this this restaurant selling cheap & authentic Chinese near raffles / Clarke quay MRT.

the prices in the restaurant were really affordable and they have a huge selection of food choices.

We had 5 dishes there when we visited and all 5 dishes tasted really good!!

The tofu (last pic) was chefs kiss.

If you’re a fish lover this is definitely the place for you !

💰 Price: $20-60(depending on how many dishes you order)

📍Address: tong fu ju - 50 boat quay, S049839

Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: 5/5

5/13 Edited to

... Read moreIf you’re exploring options for authentic Chinese cuisine near Clarke Quay or Raffles, Tong Fu Ju truly stands out. Apart from the five dishes we enjoyed, the menu offers a variety of grilled skewers—like lamb, beef, and chicken gizzards—which bring an exciting smoky flavor that is hard to resist. The restaurant’s grilled live fish is particularly notable, prepared with options such as chopped chili, spicy, tomato, and Tom Yum sauces, catering to various taste preferences. If you love vibrant flavors and a bit of spice, the Sichuan-style spicy prawns and pickled cabbage fish are must-tries. For a fulfilling meal, consider pairing multiple skewers with some classic sides like stir-fried pork or the sour and spicy shredded potatoes to balance the meal. These dishes not only add diversity but also enhance the communal dining experience. The ambiance near 50 Boat Quay adds to the charm, making it a perfect dinner spot for both locals and visitors looking for affordable yet authentic Chinese food. Whether you’re a fan of seafood, tofu, or grilled meats, this place delivers on quality and taste without breaking your budget. Don’t miss out on the grilled Taiwanese sausage and the mapo tofu either—they’re as delightful as they sound!
