This was quite good! I can see why there’s a long queue for it - we arrived at 11.50am and there was a short queue of ~5 pax ahead of us, and we got our food 10-15mins later. Best to come before 12pm bc the queue was quite long then.

The soup was flavourful with a pleasant natural sweetness, but without feeling too rich/heavy. Even though the fried fish was soaked in it, it didn’t make the soup greasy! Also didn’t feel thirsty after this so I think no / not much MSG is added.

The fish was very thick and meaty - it’s not as succulent / tender compared to some hawker fish soup stalls but it feels more premium than usual. One of the fish slices had a bit of a fishy taste, but the rest were fine and I surprisingly preferred the fried fish, even tho it was not crisp after being soaked in the soup. The layer of batter made it taste better. Also liked the crispy rice sprinkled on top, which gave a bit of a crunch!

Definitely better than king of paofan for me!
