What Does Wild Sea Tilapia Taste Like?

Actually, I am not a big fan of Tilapia. I grew up with it as it was a cheap protein source but it has an off-putting earthy taste. 

Nevertheless, I always liked the soft tender moist texture of Tilapia fish and its underlying sweet taste (provided you can get past the earthy taste). So, I still enjoy it in preparations which masked or neutralised the earthy taste e.g. with lots of garlic, ginger, chili pepper, curry powder, etc. 

SZ Kitchen @ Fairprice Hub Joon Koon MRT • Affordable Set Meals & Best Fried Chicken Wings

Whenever Johnny of SZ Kitchen has special fish like Giant Grouper or Moray Eel, he will jio (invite) us to taste it. Every time, Johnny will also throw in a plate of fried chicken wings. We all love the fried chicken wings but have never highlighted it because we were so focused on the special fish. Now, I want to share about SZ Kitchen's fried chicken wings because it is among the best in Singapore.

Update Jun 2025: SZ Kitchen now has two outlets. Here at Fairprice Hub at Joo Koon MRT, SZ Kitchen focusses on affordable set meals. Premium fish (giant grouper, moray eel, hump head parrotfish, etc) are now served at SZ Kitchen's flagship restaurant at D'Arena. It also has a full range elevated Chinese seafood restaurant menu. 

What Does Moray Eels Taste Like?

I was still in KL when Uncle Bob invited us to join him to taste Moray Eel at Johnny's restaurant 小珍 SZ Kitchen @ Fairprice Hub, Joo Koon MRT Singapore. Thanks to Johnny and Uncle Bob, I had a chance to taste it when I returned to Singapore today.
