Silly you if you thought all hawker fare is unhealthy. Xiao Ma hails from China, made Singapore his home, and now is a Permanent Resident. He learned and toiled in Japanese kitchens for a few years under fussy chefs and then turned the art of steaming a perfect fish into a menu at this hawker stall. It does not look like much, but when he offers up a whole perfectly steamed garoupa (he personally checks its doneness with the Japanese chopstick method), golden pomfret, or a fresh sea bass (kim bak lor), the crowd gathers. They are all gloriously fresh and moist. It comes doused with a light soy miso blended sauce, with a bowl of chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), and fluffy rice (he used to offer a slice of fruit but not anymore). So Asian in style, so healthy, and totally hawker in its ways.
