The humble Mr Fish at Chinatown Complex Market & Food Centre certainly lives up to its title of serving the best fish soup in Singapore. The menu is more extensive than most fish soup stalls, but the stellar cooking means that whatever you end up ordering will turn out to be delicious anyway. Keep it safe and classic with the Sliced Fish Soup ($4), which sees generous portions of fresh sliced fish swimming in a super umami, almost creamy broth. Burpple Tastemaker Zhihui Lim explains that this is made by painstakingly boiling fried fish bones, not by adding milk! Also good is the Black Bean Sliced Fish Hor Fun (from $5 for small), which boasts good wok hei, slippery noodles and a silky blanket of robust black bean sauce.
Avg price: $5
