From the Burpple community

The ingredients served in this bowl of fish soup are very fresh and they are generous with the serving of fish slices. There were plenty of fresh, thick and tender slices of fish with lots of greens, tomatoes and seaweed. The soup is seasoned with dried sole fish that adds flavour to the clear and light soup. They also serve preserved vegetables and some braised dishes as sides.  

The queue can look long and intimidating but it is totally worth queuing for. The old folks have been serving for years and it's time for them to retire. Their last day of operation is on 15 Jan 2022 so give it a try if you have yet to do so!

Fish soup.

Run by a friendly elderly couple since many years ago, my mum and myself (sometimes with my sister) will patronize this stall on an alternate weekend basis and we will always order the same thing; the largest bowl of sliced fish soup at $7, a portion of preserved vegetables (mei cai) and a bowl of braised pig's skin and pork belly. Pour some of that umami braised sauce over some white rice while enjoying the fish soup is definitely one of the simple joys in life.

It used to be you placing your order with the smiley auntie before heading back to your table and waiting for your order to be served personally by herself. However, due to age catching up, now you've got to queue in line to get your food. Do note that the waiting time has not changed from previous and expect to wait for approximately 20-30mins. Nonetheless, all is worth it once you have taken a sip of that clear broth and have a bite at the sliced fish.

Each bowl of fish soup is prepared upon order and the uncle cooking it only uses fresh, and not frozen, fish slices. Other ingredients that he added include vegetables, tomatoes and seaweed. Before serving, some pepper and fried garlic are added on top. No ginger is used which is a clear testament on how fresh the fish is, hence there is no need for ginger to mask the fishy stench.

I highly recommend you give this a try when you are here but do note their opening hours which is from 11:30am-3pm on Wednesdays to Saturdays. They are closed from Sundays to Tuesdays. The entire dish is definitely not Instagram-worthy but it is most certainly one of the best foods for me.

Despite the horrendous queue (on good days maybe 30-45mins wait), people are still willing to wait in line just for a bowl of this Sliced Fish Soup ($7, large portion). Cooked in a light clear soup, the chef is never stingy with his ingredients as he adds thick and plentiful slices of fresh fish (all hand sliced by himself), vegetables and abalone into the pot.

When ordering, do also add a portion of preserved vegetables and that umami braised pig skin which you can pour the braised sauce onto your bowl of rice for that additional oomph. Please note that they are closed from Sundays to Tuesdays, so you only have from Wednesdays to Saturdays (open from morning till around 2-3pm) to get your sliced fish soup.
