What’s so good 😊?

This stall has been my all-timed favourite Fish Soup stalls for at least 3 decades since my teenager years as I swim at nearby swimming complex and studied around the area of MacPherson/ Aljunied.



This Senior Couples of at least 70years still as loving 🥰 and hardworking as b4, I always admiring their close relationship as they eke-out a living by selling Fish 🐟 Soup & Braised Duck 🦆 in their stall, and keeping the price low despite inflation and rental hike... as most of the residents becoming of age and grew older ... 😯 🤩 ⭐️ 👍



The ever long Q, need patience and endurance but thankfully this evening only 3 person ahead of me, pretty fast !


Their X factors :

1. It’s soup based brewed over a long period of fish bones 🦴 and added flat fish pieces and Szechuan vegetables slices to mitigate the smell of fish. 😳 🤩 ⭐️ 👍


2. They sell Mackerel fish freshly slices everyday. The superb soup broth is one that makes me coming back year after year ! U shall see at least 6-8 pieces of reasonable thickness of sliced fishes inside your soup.

😯 🤩 ⭐️ 👍




3. Garnished with spring onions and coriander leaves, Tung cai (to salt) the taste of the soup.

Added fragrance vegetable and tomatoes 🍅 for extra dosage of great soup taste ! Amazingly it’s soup so flavourful and tasty with no MSG ! 😯 🤩 ⭐️ 👍


4. It’s rice 🍚 always laced with braised gravy to give customer a great taste along with it’s soup 🥣! Why Braised gravy ? As they sells the braised duck 🦆 cut into smaller cubes and always fast selling ! It’s sold out when my turn came. 😳 🤩 ⭐️ 👍


5. Great value for your money 💰 ... at $3 per bowl of soup with slices of fresh Mackerel fish and with the Old School taste, it’s a definite big plus for the many regulars and residents here ! 😳 🤩 ⭐️ 👍


Its cut chillies 🌶 DIY and self service as he cut manpower but that’s inevitable ... 👌


It has been and shall continue except no sight of successor, that’s a hind sight ! 😓

Nonetheless, enjoy the savouring of the Old School taste while they are still around ! 💪


With the long standing history support of many regulars, his business shall continue to flourish ...


As Always ... It’s Fish Soup w/ Rice ! Yummily 😋 Great 👍!


Tag + Share + Support Local Hawkers ! 🙏🏻 😃
