Expect to see tons of groupers and live fish, before having your nose infiltrated by the smells from the dried seafood stalls that sell ingredients for Cantonese soups. Head over to Hong Lim Complex to get schooled on Cantonese style tze char by Debbie, a 4th generation hawker from Tang Kay Kee Fish Head Bee Hoon. We round things off with a very tasty lunch starring snakehead fish.
