Song Kee Fish Ball Noodle (Yio Chu Kang)

This time, almost nothing was deserving of their reputation, probably only the wet and intense lard. The fish dumpling was complex and the fish roll decent, but everything else was mediocre. The noodles were also overly drenched in chilli.

Song Kee Fishball Noodle's signature dish is a crowd-pleaser!
Springy fishballs, fishcake, springy noodles, and a savoury clear broth that warms the heart.
With a serving of fried pork lard.
Well-loved by regulars for a reason - a must-try item!

Once you’ve mastered a dish, you don’t really need to sell anything else. This goes for Song Kee where every customer can be seen devouring a bowl of fishball noodle. Highlight is definitely the variety of fish ingredients, my fav being the fish dumpling!

The noodles quite firm to bite. I find the big fish cake abit salty. Though i like that the fishballs are hand made, i find it abit tough. The fishballs not bouncy. The fish dumpling texture is slimy because they use sweet potato flour. The fillings taste like minced meat with pepper, not fish. But the dumplings are indeed big. I probably wont come down just for this.

Best fish ball noodles in SG period. Try it and let me know if there is a better place!

Best herkiao I’ve had, hands down!! The fish paste skin is hand-rolled, and is made up of fish meat and tapioca flour. It’s then filled with a well-seasoned meat filling, which was fragrant and not too salty. The skin has a nice bite to it, it’s thin but somehow bouncy. The herkiao was very tasty - the insides have slippery, kinda goopy part, which was such a textural delight. So good in terms of both texture and flavour.

The handmade fishballs, taupok, and fish roll were pretty decent, not the nicest I’ve had (shoutout to hup kee’s fishballs and taupok which r the best) but still better than average; handmade definitely trumps factory made ones.

The noodles were reasonably nice too - springy, not too hard, no alkaline taste. The sauce was alright, I asked for no chilli so they used tomato sauce. I added more vinegar after, as I prefer a punchier bowl of noodles.

Definitely will return!
