Of the three fish soup stall in 448 Clementi Market, this one has the longest queues most of the time. As I have already tried the other two stalls, my expectations were therefore quite high. Plus I had to buy queue for 25 minutes.
Ordered the Yuan Yang Fish Soup (Fried fish and sliced fish) for $5.50 and added $1.00 of Deep Fried Egg. You can choose to add bee hoon or just plain soup. The soup was neither the clear or milky type. It was yellowish in colour and tasted more salty than umami but quite nice. You get 4 pieces of fried fish, 4 pieces of sliced batang fish and a few slivers of bitter gourd, plenty of cabbage and it comes garnished with chopped spring onion, fried shallots and two small pieces of seaweed.
The fried fish was just ordinary but the pieces were large. The batang slices were outright thin and tend to break when you use chopsticks to pick them up. Their chilli sauce had a strong savoury taste of bean paste but did not pack enough heat.
Overall, not a very impressive bowl of fish soup and clearly one of the other stall beat them hands down. So why the long queue when it is also not the cheapest?
