Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Tian Tian Lai offers a Teochew fish head steamboat experience in an industrial setting.

The Red Grouper Steamboat is frequently highlighted for its flavorful soup, rich with umami from seaweed, solefish, and yam.

However, some feedback suggests the fried fish can be dry, and there are mixed opinions on whether the fish used is consistently red grouper, with one detailed account questioning the authenticity of the fish served.

Beyond the steamboat, the deep-fried tofu and cabbage with dried shrimp receive positive mentions, while other tze-char dishes like sweet and sour pork and prawn rolls are considered standard.

Service can be inconsistent, with some reporting prompt delivery and others experiencing delays in order-taking.

The non-air-conditioned environment is mitigated by industrial fans.

We'd recommend arriving early to avoid potential service lags and to secure a comfortable spot.

Best for groups of 4 adults, as a large steamboat and two side dishes are sufficient.

A reliable option for a casual tze-char meal, but manage expectations regarding fish authenticity and service consistency.

What customers say

Tian Tian Lai Famous Teochew Fish Head Steamboat offers a mixed experience, with some customers praising the flavorful Red Grouper Steamboat soup and specific dishes like Prawn Paste Chicken and Speciality Tofu, while others find the fish quality questionable and overall food taste inconsistent.

Service can be slow and inattentive, and the non-air-conditioned, industrial setting is a recurring point of discussion.

The establishment's location atop an industrial building is seen as both a unique perk for parking and a potential inconvenience for access.

A hidden gem perched atop an industrial building in Bedok. Quite a surprise, as I have always thought eateries belonged on the more prominent lower levels just like the first floor! Being on the top f…
