There are different kinds of fish soup in Singapore, there are fresh fish used for stocks and main courses and there are also fried fish soups. There are 2 kinds of fried fish soups - the clear Teochew fish soup which uses fresh slices of fish and there’s the milky Cantonese version with fried fish fillets. Most people prefer the clear fish soup but I have to find out which better of the two varieties. Some people are skeptical of how the fried fish fillet will taste with a milk based broth. I have to find out myself.
Off I go to the Maxwell Food Center went in queue at Jin Hua Fried Fish Soup stall. This stall is known to have long lines during lunch. A bowl of milk fried fish bowl costs $4.00, same as the clear fried fish bowl. I made my order and went to another stall to have a plate of Zhi Char hofun. The soup is really delicious and colorful, big pieces of fish fillets compliment the sweetness of the milk with a hint of ginger. The saltiness of the fish goes well with the milky savory soup. The hofun is saucy and its fun to mix all the ingredients. I made sure all the ingredients, pechay, pork, squid, mushroom and fish is coated with the sauce. The thick hofun sauce and then a sip or slurp of the fried fish soup made my day. I had a wonderful lunch. 2 working class dishes at affordable prices, I love Singapore!
