Jin Hua Sliced Fish Bee Hoon

While at Maxwell Food Centre for Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice, I noticed a long line at another stall and, without any prior research, decided to give it a try. Their signature fish soup seemed to be a crowd favorite, and I couldn’t resist checking it out. Since I was already a bit full after the chicken rice, I opted for the mixed fish option, which includes both boiled and fried fish. It was the perfect choice! The boiled fish was tender and fresh, while the fried fish added a nice crunch and contrast in texture. The soup itself was light, flavorful, and incredibly fresh—comforting yet not too heavy. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning, which made having hot soup in the heat a bit of a challenge. But honestly, the freshness and quality of the dish made it absolutely worth it. Highly recommend giving this a try if you’re at Maxwell!

There’s usually a long queue at this stall during lunch, but no queue at dinner. I managed to get a bowl of mixed fish noodle soup for $8. The sliced fish was a letdown — tough and dry — but the fried fish was tasty and well done. The broth was the highlight; I skipped the milk and loved the flavor, with what seemed like a hint of XO. With finger slices added in, it was really sedap! Prices for mixed fish are $8, $10, or $12. Do note that CDC vouchers are not accepted.

This stall has been here for a very long time. They serve up really savoury fish soup that is just right, and the cabbage is fresh and sweet. I happened to chance upon them without a queue, as it usually does. They would ask if you want condensed milk.

Had a bowl of sliced fish soup with thick bee hoon from Jin Hua. The soup was comforting and flavourful. The thick bee hoon had a good bite and soaked up the broth nicely. However, the fish slices were slightly overcooked, which made them a bit firmer than expected.

Delicious sliced fish soup with rice. I really love the simple taste of cabbage and sliced fish in soup, very comforting. I grew up with the teochew fish soup down the isle but its a very different flavour which is equally tasty
