Fish Soup with White Rice
Located in Upper Bukit Timah, it is assumably one of the best fish soup in the West. In my opinion, what makes a fish soup irresistable is the taste of the soup and the freshness of the fish.

At Quan Xiang as this stall is called, the soup sprinkle with fried shallots is sweet and light on the palate. For those who likes the soup light would love it. The fish slices are fresh and tender. Additionally, the chillie paste that comes with the set is fiery hot,literally and is definitely not for the weak hearted. To me the burning sensation of the chillie adds on to the fish freshness and lightness of the soup, a deadly combination indeed.



This stall sells 2 type of fish namely; batang and red garoupa. The red garoupa unquestionably will be more expensive...

Batang fish S$4 to S$6
Red Garoupa S$6 to S$10
White rice S$0.50

Again, the portion is quite small for the S$4 serving ->Reviewed by JC

Fish Soup with White Rice
This stall only sells 2 types of set meal; i.e. black white set meal or white set meal.
Each set meal consists of a bowl of fish soup, rice and chillie. Extra chillie costs additional
S$0.20. Black = fried fish, White = cooked fish (non-fried).

The stall operates from 11:12am to around 2pm and so don't go there after 2pm. It is closed on every Wednesday and weekends. Go early as the queue gets relatively long during lunch.

The soup is tasty but slighty heavy taste for me and definitely not the MSG type of soup. The fish slices and vegetables are ample. The white rice is fragant although it looks oily but it doesn't taste oily at all. There is no wine or milk added to the soup unlike others. Personally, I prefer fish soup with wine added -> Reviewed by JC
