There are many stalls all over Singapore selling sliced fish soup. And it is very subjective to individual personal taste. What’s amazing to others may not be what you like.

I am very particular when it come to the type of fish served. The most common type of fish will be the Bighead Fish Carp (松鱼). Which I personally do not enjoyed.

I prefer Batang Fish (Spanish Mackerel) over Bighead Fish Carp (松鱼) anytime. The texture of Batang Fish (Spanish Mackerel) is meaty, firm and sweet when you take a bite. As compare to Bighead Fish Carp (松鱼) which I feel the meat is not firm, it’s too soft for my liking and it has a kind of taste. Furthermore, I don’t enjoy slimy and rubbery skin that is serve together with the fish meat.

I will usually ask or see what kind of fish is prepare before I ordered. However, chances of me ordering sliced fish soup is very low now a days. Should I crave for a bowl of slices fish noodles/porridge these are the 3 stalls which I will go..

1) Sin Hing Restaurant – I think this is the name of the coffee shop. It is a corner coffee shop along Upper Thomson Road.

The thick bee hoon which they used is not the usual type which you can get if off supermarket or the wet market. Rather they used instant thick bee hoon. It slightly thinner than the usual thick bee hoon, definitely much thicker than the thin bee hoon (I hope you understand what I meant).

I love the broth of the soup. It’s clear and flavourful. I usually opted to have mine without milk. So yummy!

2) Fresh Fish Soup – This is located at Golden Mile Food Center. I usually go for their fish soup porridge (rice with soup mixed together). I love the sweetness of the soup, the generous portion of the fish and the rice it is not clump together. What a heavenly bowl of delicious goodness!

3) Fan Ji Bittergourd Fish Soup – This is located at Hong Lim Market & Food Centre. There are quite a number of stall selling Sliced Fish Soup. To me this stall is one of the better one which I enjoyed very much.

They are very generous with the bittergourd. Sadly, I am not a fan of bittergourd and would usually opt out of it or share the bittergourd with friends or family. The stock of the soup is boiled with the fish bones. Therefore, the broth is very sweet.

There you go, these are my 3 favourite stalls which I will have my sliced fish soup. Should you have any recommendation, do share it with me. I may be adventurous to give it a try. Remember I only prefer Batang fish (Spanish Mackerel). Hee Hee 🙂
