[HOUGANG, SINGAPORE] Fish soup fans, this is for you. If you love a deep savoury umami soup, this is one bowl you need to try. Ah Shun Fish Soup's rendition of black and white fish soup ($7/10) is definitely not healthy at all 🤣 with a huge emphasis on flavour. The soup itself is heavy on its fish broth flavour and is further accentuated by the fried shallots. Their fried fish slices are placed separately, and there is a reason why. The batter was amazingly light & crunchy, with a deep dried fish flavour. I highly suspect they put some kind of dried fish powder in the batter as well. This makes it extremely addictive!
Yes, the bowl I have here is $10 and may seem expensive to many, but the quality of fresh fish slices really seems to justify the high cost. The texture was soft yet firm, and has a really good bite to it. You get about 6-7 slices of that sweet succulent fish for you to savour each bite!
With about a 40 min wait time during peak weekend hours, will I do it again? Maybe not anytime soon, but when I do, I know it's gonna be a good treat.
