Quan Xiang Fish Porridge (Bukit Timah Market)

One of my childhood spots for fish soup. The fish is reasonably plump and juicy, with no fishy taste at all. The soup is clear and tasty, not too salty, but has a savoury flavour from the preserved veg (?) and shallots. It comes with some veg (not lettuce!), and the rice has a nice texture, not too dry nor mashy. I love rice that is well cooked so that is important to me haha

One of several fish soups in this hawker centre, this was a decent sliced fish soup with a flavourful soup and fresh springy fish slices. However the garoupa slices were not thick enough to justify the price, the mee sua was hard, and the soup was slightly too peppery for my liking. Some people really like this stall though, so it may be personal preference.

One of my sec sch favourites! The fish is quite succulent, with no fishy smells! Also, they give tang o veg, which I enjoy. The soup is pretty flavourful - my dad and I drank it allll up. I have to give a shoutout for the rice - it’s of a decent quality, and it is separated / not clumpy so it’s great for drenching in fish soup :)

Perfect for hangovers or when you are sick. Or simply because you have that craving for fish soup. This is the place to be, simple understated bowl of goodness. While everyone loves the grouper slices (including me), I felt like having the firmer but equally delicious batang slices today! The broth is light and tasty, boiled using the pork bones as the base. Tossed in a few slices of fried sole fish and tang-oh, the piping hot bowl is ready for you to savour. 😋

Not your typical fish soup stall but what does it for us is the robust fish slices and the spicy belachan chili.

Besides the ordinary batang, they use Red Garoupa ($5-7). We're not sure what sorcery they use, but the fish is so thick and succulent, almost the consistency of prawns.

Fragrant, fresh, flavourful
