Was CRAY-ving for a soul-soothing bowl of Seafood Soup and popped by Jia Li Seafood Soup 佳麗海鮮湯 @jialiseafoodsoup at its Holland Village outlet! They do not scrimp on ingredients here - this stacked bowl with meatballs, crayfish, prawns & fish slices says it all. While lighter compared to Yan Ji's, the broth here is still relatively umami-packed with dried scallop sweetness and pork bones while being way more generous in portion. I seldom eat crayfish at most places because I tend to get mostly shell with little meat 90% of the time, but the crayfish I got came with chunky, sweet flesh. The prawns here are also really succulent and huge, and the handmade minced meatballs were decent. Went for dory this time but if you want something with a firmer meat texture, go for red grouper instead!
