First Street Teochew Fish Soup

I'm always particular about the soup base when it comes to fish soup. Now, I’ve finally found the perfect place for it!

I really appreciate the generous portions and the fish maw in the mixed soup. As a Teochew, I wholeheartedly approve of it—so much so that I’m willing to wait in line for about 30 minutes every time I visit!

The best fish soup in Singapore (in my opinion)! It's a must-try!

Above average bowl of fish soup for around $7 with rice. Came here 2 years ago and kinda recalled there were more ingredients in the soup. Now it’s just lettuce and fish. Bitter gourd is an extra $1 option. However, the crazy queues seem to have disappeared and I got my meal in less than 15 minutes. The fish was still soft and well cooked and there was a good portion. Overall not too bad but a little pricey still. I would prefer if they had more of other vegetable such as tomatoes that’s included in the soup.

Been a year since COVID and it is great to be back. Found the place nicely renovated with better flooring, more staff, ceiling fan and more staff to boost. There is a still a queue when we are there but not as long as before, maybe because we are there quite late at 11am. Quality wise, definitely the batang fish is still best for me cheap and good. Loved the fact that their fishes are very fresh slightly sweet and savory if you dip it into the light soy sauce (tips). Tip #2 always add extra 80c for the ba chor (minced meat). The soup not your typical milky kind but the ones that are cooked with dried sole fish (you can even taste the powder bits of it in the soup at the end). This is the type of comfort food I love. Simple, flavorful and flavors are just right. Forget about adding lobster, scallops etc. Sometime, simple is key as they have the freshest ingredients and have been cooking this for decades. This can't go wrong.
