| Their Physical Menu |
I knew of it existence because they took over the space of previous tenant, IORA. Didn't know or bother to check it out what's their specialty until my colleague was talking about it one day and said she wanna try one fine day. And here I am today, a Saturday afternoon for our brunch after knowing about their stonepot fish.
Ordered from their iPad but I find that the price and description on the iPad and physical menu were kind of different. Like I ordered STIR FRIED WILD PORCINI MUSHROOMS WITH DRIED CHILLIES but in the bill it appeared BRAISED WILD PORCINI MUSHROOMS. Still I was served what I wanted but $2 more as compared in the physical menu. So do find out from their staff when in doubt.
LIVE SOON HOCK WITH COLLAGEN FISH SOUP
 |
| In 4 minutes time, ready to tuck in |
Fresh Soon Hock in the stonepot, ready to be cooked for 4 minutes (they really timed it) with the Collagen Fish Soup (+ $18) that was poured into it. Super steamy, like a volcano but in a straw hat. Watch my YT Shorts to witness the live 'volcano' on our table. Haha... okay actually more like Puffing Billy (iykyk).

| Ready to eat |
There were tofu, a few small stalk of celery, goji berries, small ginseng, red dates, dang gui from the soup. The soup was good but was expecting a little more on the thicker side for that lip-smacking moments. Mister said probably I could wait for it to get cold for some lip smackers.
 |
| Fish with lots of bones |
One thing about this 850g Soon Hock was too much bones, even though it was fresh (though bland) and tender. The cooking time was really crucial for not overcooking the fish in order to achieve the tenderness.

LYCHEE PRAWN BALLS
 |
| Lychee looking Prawn Balls |
They made it looked like lychee but actual fact, it was just fresh, springy prawns wrapped with rice crisp. No lychee flavour at all (of course) and that's something different from other fried prawn balls you could find out there (in different style of cooking).

STIR FRIED WILD PORCINI MUSHROOMS WITH DRIED CHILLIES
 |
| My favourite |
New knowledge gained today about Porcini Mushrooms. It really has this earthy taste together with some spiciness from slices of garlic and dried chilies. Mister said it tasted like potato. Haha... Never had mushrooms in such thin pieces and it was so good. Porcini Mushrooms have a good source of B vitamins, protein, copper, potassium, zinc and selenium. And that is why I love mushrooms of all types. Yummy!

| Slices of garlics and chilies |
 |
| A pot of beef and vegetables |
At first I thought it was gonna be spicy, like cooked in chilli oil. I was wrong. It has the braise sauce and veggie flavour. Probably because you can really find lots of them in the pot like cucumber, cabbages and spring onions. As for the meat, they got tender beef slices and chewy brisket in it. Quite a flavourful dish.

| Beef Slices and Cabbages |
Add $3 per pax for a refillable drink and also accessing to their Sauce Bar for dipping sauce, fruits and even dessert. Mister mixed his own dipping sauce for the fish.
 |
| Mister loves their beancurd |
Their one and only dessert Soya Beancurd was silky and rich in flavour. No wonder the patrons initially went for one and back for another. Also had some watermelons too.
 |
| Another favourite of mine |
Not forgetting the appetizer that was so addictive. Mister thought it was clams but I overheard the staff telling the other table it was 杏鲍菇.
So we spent about $200+ in total for our lunch at Yun Nans Stonepot Fish. A nice one-time try at this restaurant near us. Asked Mister which dish would he recommend and Lychee Prawn Ball was his choice. For me, I would recommend Stir Fried Wild Porcini Mushrooms with Dried Chillies. Had a super healthy meal and it filled us up to the brim despite having no carbs (rice). You enjoy too!
