don’t even get me started! this is truly, hands down, the BEST fish soup ever. at first you will be unwilling to part with $5-$9 dollars thinking that you will need to sit in the hot and crowded af amoy street food centre. still need to queue 30-45min, damn sian.
but trust me, after trying once, you will be back for MORE. just take my money and just brave the long queue alr!
fish slices are very thick (even thicker than restaurant standards) and SO FRESH. before han kee, i have never eaten fish this fresh, it’s as if the owners own a fish farm or smth (fact not verified). what makes han kee the best is also the amount of fish slices they give. you will be surprise at how many slices they will give for their small bowl ($5). rly, just take my money alr!!! soup is on the plainer side but the fried garlic added an extra umami which leaves you wanting more!
as an avid fish soup lover that tried majority of the famous fish soup (e.g. first street teochew fish soup, piao ji and leng kee fish soup, etc), rly, in my humble and honest opinion, han kee tops everything.
pro tip: to avoid long queue, reach the stall at 11am. you will only need to queue for 15 min!
took my first bite at the australian wagyu ($9.90 per serving) and i was so amazed at how fresh it was! wagyu was juicy w the right amount of saltiness that leaves you craving for MORE.
tried the garlic pork and marinated chicken and they did not disappoint too! the meat was fresh and nicely seasoned w the right amount of fats that doesn’t make it feel greasy.
up next was the foie gras ($5.90)! didn’t want to cook it first as i was scared the oil from the foie gras would overpower any other meat i was gng to cook next. WOAH! the foie gras was rly rly good! we chose to cook our foie gras till it was brownish and buttery 🤤🤤
rly wished the stall owners had more of these babies! as it was near their closing time, we were met w disappointment when the stalls owner said they were sold out for the day!
after my meal, i proceeded to ask my friend for the price of the meal and was so shocked!!! everything costed only $30?!?! OMG?!?! SUPER WORTH IT?!?!
we ordered: wagyu, foie gras, cheese dip, 4 servings of meat, 1 serving of golden mushroom, 1 serving of cheese tofu, 1 serving of fishball w roe and maggie mee.
OH YES! one more thing, cheese dip only consist of mozzarella cheese (not fake nacho). just shows how much the stall focuses on quality! đź’Ż
will i be back? YES! definitely worth it!
pro tip: only cook the foie gras after trying some of the meat. unless, you are an ultimate foodie and just love the taste of foie gras over everything.
