Lao Jiang Superior Soup (East Village)

This is the warm and sour dish for a rainy day or you feel like a cold coming on. The spicy level was perfect for me and it didn't leave me with a tummy ache at the end of the meal. The shop was super generous with their ingredients such as fish, emoji mushroom, tomato and vegetables. Personally I don't like canned mushrooms and would prefer the soup without it. Sometimes in weekdays the shop gives you unlimited soup top ups! Super worth with a bowl of rice or noodles.

Some days you just need to kick back with a comforting bowl of fish soup that warms you from within - will definitely be back to try this again!

This is a bowl that spells bang for your buck. I’m honestly impressed Lao Jiang packed this much in their Superior Ipoh Hor Fun for less than $12! Needless to say, the combination of all these goodies made a really sweet and flavourful broth

One of my regular haunts, located in the rather quiet East Village mall. I alternate between the clear seafood soup with Malaysian style tossed noodles, and this spicy seafood soup with rice. All the seafood soups here are chock full of fresh ingredients such as sliced fish, prawns, mock abalone, fish balls, fish sticks, enoki mushrooms, pig skin. This soup is actually not that spicy, but still super tasty because of the copious amounts of garlic and shallot oil. I usually put rice on my spoon and dip it in the spicy soup and eat it as a "rice soup". Perfect 💯 for a rainy day.
🚗 : 1) basement of East Village mall or 2) unsheltered ERP parking outside the mall (but usually full).

So happy not to have to go all the way to Bukit Timah for my 老江 fix anymore. Malaysia style black sauce noodles with tasty fish or seafood soup. Feeling too healthy? The 炸肉 rocks as a side dish. Located at East Village mall facing the open air carpark.
