Arcade Fish Soup (The Arcade)

I usually ordered mixed(fried and normal fish slices) fish soup with white rice. Taste rich, alot of cabbage in it. 😅 There will be some lines during lunch time because its surrounded by office buildings. Syiok! #fish #soup #singapore

A few slices of fish with a bunch of vegetables for $7. Thick white noodles cost $1 per portion. Soup is ok but not worth the price.

Arcade fish soup!!! My favourite food when I started my first official job in raffles place area. I will be amongst the long lines of office ladies queueing for this piping hot arcade fish soup! And because lines get very longggg I used to run there for early lunch as early at ~1115am! It was like my routine to eat this once a week! Fast forward, I recently tried the marina bay outlet branch one during circuit breaker period (takeaway self collection) and wasn't impressed with it. Recently, the Guillemard outlet one just reopened and one can buy it through grabfood / foodpanda delivery. No walk in takeaway allowed though. And the price of this fish soup is getting more and more ex. It costs $9 for a fried fish soup with thick vermicelli noodles now! This is my standard order + add milk for the soup 😊 (Used to be $5.5 back in 2012 and then $6.5 a few years after..now $9?!!) But I was using a $5 grabfood voucher for my purchase so the pinch I felt was smaller haha. Having tried all 3, I must say the original arcade outlet still serves the best. And marina bay outlet ranks last for me. Guillemard's outlet ranking is in the middle for me and passable. They only have 1 cook and 1 boss (Manning the delivery counter) so do make your orders early here as well! When I arrived to collect my self-pick up order, the order wasn't even made yet because they were prioritising the delivery orders. So do cater time to pick up your order! Also, do check your orders before leaving... Because they gave me the wrong rice instead of vermicelli order (lucky I checked if not I will be angry over the 50 cents diff lol)! Also saw another foodpanda rider returning to get food items that was not delivered 🤦🏻‍♀️

CBD friends, are you missing Arcade Fish Soup already? It’s been 3 years since I last had it but I have always remembered it as one of the nicest fish soups around.

A hearty bowl comes with fresh mackerel slices of considerable size. Even for the fried fish version, I was delighted to find that instead of being soggy, the batter soaks up the broth pretty well while infusing its savoriness into the broth. That being said, you get robust fish meat wrapped within. Not only are there vegetables and tomato, they also include Sichuan pickles and egg tofu. White rice, brown rice and Beehoon are separately packed. Don’t forget the crispy fried garlic, that elevates the milky broth with its punchy flavor. If you are adventurous enough, try the zesty chili with a sour-spicy zing, bound to be a bomb.

Islandwide delivery at a flat fee of $8 going directly to the drivers. No minimum order. Check out their Facebook page daily for more information on ordering.

Their fish had a nice bite to it. I usually don’t like to soak the fried fish but this was nicer after soaking I feel! For the soup (no milk) itself, it was quite tasty without being too heavy and I surprisingly enjoyed the use of preserved vegetables. An above average fish soup, but don’t expect to be blown away!

[$6 + $0.50 for rice]

My favourite fish soup! Decent portions of fish, generous vegetable servings. Soup is incredibly flavourful! Hearsay they use 100plus as their secret ingredient?

Not to forget the fried garlic!
