First Street Teochew Fish Soup (BreadTalk IHQ)

For those looking for a richer taste, do consider their deep fried fish head options. The broth is more complex with various greens and crispy Sole fish.

Comforting old-school fresh fish soup that’s clean-tasting yet flavourful. The fish slices were fresh and perfectly poached to a succulent texture. Opt for standard Batang ($8.90) or top up for more tender Garoupa ($12.90) or the most premium Pomfret ($16.90). The latter featured delicate cut and full-bodied flavor but can’t ascertain if it’s worth the price top up.

Always wanted to try their fish soup and I must say I was definitely impressed! I ordered the usual batang fish soup ($6.80) and I was delighted that the soup has a robust flavour coming from boiling fish bones and perhaps dried fish flakes. The soup isn't too salty and has extra interesting ingredient: salted vegetables. They definitely added umami to the already flavourful soup!

The fish slices itself were generous, and were extremely fresh. With natural sweetness, each slice also had a bouncy texture that I loved! Definitely a good bowl of fish soup I crave on rainy days!

Although I haven’t got the chance to visit their outlet at Kovan, I’m glad they opened this stall which continue to serve their signature fish soup until evening.

Came for early dinner and happy to see there wasn’t any queue. Gotten their popular batang fish soup.

The soup is tasty while the fish are soft, paired well with their chilli sauce. $6 (small)
