saw a long q as we approached the stall at around 1 plus on a sunday. queued for around 30 mins.
we ordered the tom yum maggi mee with fried fish. the fried fish remained abit crispy after being soaked in the soup. the tom yum packs a punch, sour and spicy. very flavorful and keeps you wanting more. this meal was super comforting
Added $1.50 for a bowl of fried egg
Every bowl is made on the spot upon order, so rest assured that your maggie mee will come al dente, still crispy and chewy. We were first taken aback by the non-conventional ingredients in the bowl - fresh lime and tofu like an authentic bowl of Tom Yam! And indeed, the Tom Yam soup was not diluted but instead packed so much flavour in just a single sip. They are not playing around as they have taken BOTH the spiciness and sourness up a notch, so be warned to take it slow or it might go down the strong way.

Hot Spot Cafe Restaurant has been on my radar ever since I saw posts on social media highly recommending their Tom Yum Fish Soup. I finally got to try their popular specialty and other zichar dishes on their menu via delivery recently. Hereโs what I ordered:
~Curry Fish Head
~Double Fish Tom Yum Soup w/ Ou Mifen
~Deep Fried Pork Belly w/ Garlic
~Stir-Fried French Bean w/ Shrimp
The reviews were spot on in regard to their Tom Yum Fish Soup. The Tom Yum broth was super shiok; so robust and flavourful! As for the fish, I personally preferred the fried fish and would order just the fried fish next time. We loved the Curry Fish Head too! The curry was really rich and appetising, and went well with rice. The Deep Fried Pork Belly w/ Garlic deserves a special mention too โ so crispy and fragrant!

As an adorer of anything spicy and savoury, this tom yum fish soup was always on my food list. Good to visit especially on the cold rainy day for a โkickโ of hot & spicy food. The mee hoon kway is chewy and the soup spiciness & sourness combination truly shiokk.

Sorry, just not worth it. Iโd rather have Beef Hor Fun at Wing Seong Fattyโs Restaurant (just next door).
This plate of beef kway teow was oily and lacks the wok hey.
Keep this spot in mind for cooler days, the double whammy of tom yum and piping hot fish soup will make you sweat! Join the queue and start thinking about which noodle type you'd like. There are nine to choose from, including ban mian, you mian and dong fen. To pair with the Tom Yum Double Fish ($5.40), we recommend the instant noodles. Just think about it: sweet fish broth beautifully spiced with tom yum, thick fish slices and springy instant noodles. Love! There's also a Mixed Seafood option ($6.40) that includes squid and prawns.

Hits all the right spot! Glad to be here on a public holiday without having to fight with the weekday lunch crowd.

This tom yum fried fish soup taste very similar to MAMA tom yum! It is rather well between itโs spicyness and sourness. The soup comes with tofu, tomatoes, fried fish. This would cost $5.60. I paid an extra $1 for the fried egg, which goes well with the soup!
Best comfort food, especially on a cold rainy day. The best part of the dish is the tomyum soup - it is a mildly thick, flavorful broth with a spicy kick. The flavor is reminiscent of Mama noodles from Thailand, but alot more punchy and shiok. Pair that with wavy instant noodles, that are similar also to Mama noodles and you have an awesome hearty bowl with seafood ingredients like prawns, squid and sliced fish. This costs $6.40.
The cooks run a very tight ship here. The auntie will scold you if you take too long to order or if you are distracted, so prepare before hand!
I liked how their tom yum soup is a lot spicier than it is sour.

I had the Tom Yum Double Fish ($5.40) - oh my, the soup really packed a strong spice punch! I paired it with Maggie mee and added on a bowl of crispy fried egg ($1). The Fish pieces were the meaty kind with a bite while the noodles with the soup were Super addictive!
Tom Yum Fried Fish Mee Hoon Kway Soup, love the balance between the spiciness & the sourness! Definitely a good quality bowl of Tom Yum soup base ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Since it was Friday which means the engineers would be (more) willing to travel a littleeee out of the way for lunch, I grabbed (pounced at) the opportunity to suggest this instead of the usuals.
It was certainly the right decision, for the bowl was as perfect as the cool weather that calls for it. My banmian noodles were lusciously thick and chewy ; the soup, though a little less spicier than I thought, was spicy enough and had just the right amount of tartness which made it even nore addictive. There was a whole wedge of lime and tomato in it! I finished everything in my bowl with much gusto, though sadly I heard that the portion has gone down this time. :'(
Queue was quite confusing for me as a first timer, but basically just join the long line outside the stall's entrance, decide what you want, tell the lovely ladies your order when you reach the counter, and stand by the side and quickly pay up. Now you're all set to tuck into a steaming hot bowl of super shiok noodles!
So wanna faster snap a photo and dig in. This time round I ordered the normal fish soup ban mian with extra ่ไธ. Soooo good!
Been my favorite place to have sliced fish soup lunch during our Lasalle year. Price had increased thou, a bowl cost ard 5sgd++, my favorite will be their tomyum because I can take this level of spiciness๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
Turns out the tomyum noodles is only open till 4pm, so tried the zi char food instead. This mince meat salted fish mee tai mak really hit the spot, the soup was really light yet flavourful! ๐
I cannot stress how yummy these bowls are. Had them since schooling days, when it wasn't that popular or "famous". That's a good 8-10years ago. And fast forward, the hungry office zombies on the loose during lunch time is insane.
The Thai tom yum base, packed so much punch that you will salivate before the broth touches your lips. You can smell the sour notes of the soup, wetting your already crazy appetite. The normal soup base, is clean and porky great for someone who don't do spices. Let me not get started on the crazily sinful deep fried eggs. Beaten and pour into a wok of oil, this crispy babies added more flavour to the soup! Generous portion of both noodles and ingredients the bowl is good for the hungry lunch crowd, and do take note of the impending crazy queues. Go before or after, to avoid the lack of seating space or crowd.
Ohh, this packs a kick! ๐๐ถ Truly reminded me of the awesome, head-clearing tom yum soups we had in BKK!
A really simple bowl of noodles in fiery tom yum that we slurped it right up โ never mind the impending tom yum brain. ๐ต Don't forget to get the add on deep fried egg bits ($1)! Sprinkle it on or dunk it into your soup, tasty either way! ๐
Set in Burlington Square, this air-conditioned food court is known for its Northern Thai Tom Yum Soup from the fish soup stall. The broth is spicy, sour and extremely punchy โ definitely not one for the faint-hearted! For the best experience, go for the mixed fish soup ($5.40), which comes with a combination of fresh and deep-fried fish pieces. To make it more substantial, pick one of nine noodle choices to add on ($0.50-$1.10, options include ban mian, mee hoon kueh and instant noodles) and don't hesitate to order the crispy fried egg ($1) on the side โ it's crisp and super yummy! Pro-tip: Bookmark this spot for lunch. The stall opens from 10:30am and operations wind down by 3pm. It's a mad rush here at lunchtime, so come before noon to beat the crowd.
Avg price: $5 per person
