This place is like 5 minutes walk from my hotel, so we went there a few times to buy our snacks. They have dine-in area in the shop.

fish cake with prawn |
all sorts of fish cake variety |
The shop also sells a few types of noodles, so one could order the mains from the counter and add-on the fish cakes as side dishes.
The limited or seasonal fishcake is usually at the counter, so do walk around to scout for which ever that catches your fancy. But be careful not to go overboard. For me, I think my max per seating was just 4 fish cakes.
my breakfast |
After you had purchased the food, go right in and get yourself a seat at the communal table. There is a microwave oven with instructions on how to heat up the fish cakes. There is also a cabinet that stores small cups for the hot soup. This soup was a nice accompaniment for the fish cakes. Tasty too!

The price for the fish cakes varies and those with premium ingredients such as whole prawn or abalone (yes they have this as well!) will be more costly as expected.
Pretty cool experience and it is a pilgrimage of sorts to tourist to come to at least one of these shops try.
