$4 for a bowl of ban mian that comes with an egg. It’s a steal! And it comes with big portion of ikan bilis. Shioks!

A hidden gem for no-nonsense home-style fish soup. Fish soups must first employ fresh and 'sweet' fish, which is what many stalls do not use. Many (famous) stalls over-marinate their fish, possibly to hide any fishiness from using fish not …

Ordered sliced fish porridge. The fish here is a bit thin and easily breaks once the chopsticks pick it. …

First time patronising on 21 Jun 24 at 6 pm.i was surprised there was no shocking queue as it was a TEL stage 4 open house day. The broth is quite thick but it was not the most savoury I had. It has a tinge of fishy taste. But …

Gonna be honest, comparing the two fish soup stalls here, I would rather patronise this stall, not only is the price worth the portion, the ingredients are fresh and overall the soup was delicious, lastly the service by the lady was friendly as well, would highly recommend

The stall aunty was incredibly friendly. From time to time, you could even see her hand-tearing mee hoon kway in between preparing orders—a sign of the handmade care that goes into their dishes. Ban mian soup ($4) - 7/10. This comforting bowl of ban mian comes with a well-balanced mix of ingredients—egg, braised mushrooms, minced pork, and a generous serving of vegetables, all topped with crispy ikan bilis for added crunch. The real surprise was the soup base which was made from fish maw stock. It provided a rich and robust flavour with a slightly gelatinous mouthfeel unlike the more common anchovy based broths. Dry Mee Soon Kway ($4) - 7.5/10. We were pleasantly surprised to find battered fried fish in our bowl—a unique addition that’s not commonly seen in mee hoon kway. The batter was light and fluffy, though soft and slightly soggy, absorbing the sauce rather than providing a crispy crunch. The dish featured a well-balanced mix of ingredients similar to the ban mian soup, minus the egg. The handmade, hand-torn dough pieces had that signature chewy, slightly elastic bite, soaking up the flavors of the dark sauce while remaining satisfyingly firm. A side of soup accompanied the dish, light yet umami-rich, offering a comforting contrast to the dry-style noodles. Fried Fish soup with Ee Mee ($5.50) - 7/10. This bowl came with a generous serving of fried fish, paired with springy ee mee, making for a hearty and comforting meal. We opted to add milk, which added a creamy richness to the soup, balancing out the naturally savory flavors from the fish stock. The fried fish pieces were tender, with a light, slightly softened batter that absorbed the broth’s flavors well. Sliced bitter gourd was also included, adding a subtle bitterness that contrasted nicely with the creaminess of the soup, preventing it from feeling too heavy. The ee mee, with its signature springy texture, held up well in the broth, soaking up the umami-packed flavors while still maintaining a slight chew.

I ordered the soup Mee Hoon Kueh. I got my order in about 3 mins after ordering I think…incredibly fast! It’s my second time having Mee Hoon Kueh, the first being at a place in Malacca. Compared to the Malacca one this stall’s were thicker, knobblier, and chewier…and I prefer these. It reminds me of the Japanese comfort food “suiton.” The vegetables were crunchy (not the mani cai that I hear is traditional), the Ikan bilis was fresh and flavourful. What I liked was that the soup was not too salty or too strongly flavoured. I was, however, concerned about the stall’s uncle’s stern gaze at me, which made me second guess my moves. He was watching with such a serious face as I added the Chinese parsley (I think) to the soup that I wondered whether I wasn’t supposed to add it to this particular dish ;) I hope I’ve done nothing weird! Having said that I will definitely go back to this stall again. It was a great wholesome dish that felt balanced and healthy.
