First Street Teochew Fish Soup is one of the most iconic fish soup establishments in Singapore, and witnessing snaking queues form during peak hours is a norm. While many fish stalls choose only one type of fish to serve, diners here can take their pick from the Batang Sliced Fish Soup, Red Garoupa, Pomfret and the Mixed Soup with Seafood — so you’re sure to be spoilt for choice. The aromatic clear soup is a little saltier on the palate than most stalls, but pairs well with rice or noodles.
First Street Teochew Fish Soup also has another outlet at 30 Tai Seng St, BreadTalk IHQ (Food Republic), Singapore 534013.
Thick vermicelli noodles are carb choice at most fish soup stalls, but at Seng Kee, we’re going for the Hong Kong noodles — don’t ask us why, it just tastes right. You can also get either the sliced fish or the deep-fried fish option, but take cues from the regulars — who have been known to add on a serving of the crispy egg batter — and opt for the deep fried fish option.

Ka Soh is one of the few places in Singapore where you’ll find the milky fish soup made via the laborious, old-school method. Here, the kitchen first deep fries the snake-head fish bones before using it to concoct a dreamy white stock that takes hours of hard work over at the stove. Besides dine-in and takeaway, you can also grab a couple of fish soup broth packets from their online store for your next meal or steamboat at home too.
While fish soup in Singapore usually spotlights the Batang fish (mackerel) or the Grouper, milk fish is actually the choice pick in countries like Taiwan and the Philippines. Here at Milkfish, they’re serving up soups with zero MSG and preservatives, so you can savour a nourishing bowl with peace of mind. Milk is not actually involved in the soup’s creation here; the naturally creamy consistency comes from the fish’s gelatinous belly fat, which lends a gentle, sweet flavour to the soup. Those looking for a lighter meal can always just have the soup on its own, but peckish diners should definitely give the Signature Soup Set a go, which comes with the Signature Soup, your choice of carbs, a drink and some sides.

Those who prefer fish soup to share sans the noodles can opt for this delicious version over at Putien. The Claypot Yellow Croaker Soup sees a whole pan-fried yellow croaker — complete with its stunning golden yellow hue — boiled on high heat to create an addictive, flavourful and milky soup.
While there are many Putien outlets in Singapore, we recommend making a trip down to the first branch of the chain at Kitchener Road, which still has a Michelin Star to its name.
Kim Keat Hokkien Meeserves up two versions of its hokkien mee─wet, in a claypot or dry, on opeh leaves. They’re best known for their claypot hokkien mee, which for a good long while was all over our social media feeds. Instead of topping their hokkien mee with crispy lard, they do it one better by throwing on deep fried pork belly that’s simultaneously crisp, tender and melt-in-your-mouth. Originally run by the late Mr Kelvin Lee, an ex-convict for whom Kim Keat Hokkien Mee was his redemption, it is now manned by his son.

Literally translated, Tian Tian Lai is a call for you to “come daily”, and we think it works. The average wait for your order of hokkien mee at Tian Tian Lai is 45 minutes to an hour, and they have even made it onto the Michelin Guide’s list of top hokkien mee in Singapore. The plate of hokkien mee served here tends on the wetter side of things, and they are extra generous with lard and pork belly, which might make it a little too porky for some tastes.

These guys have been around since 1963. Nam Sing is known for only using thin beehoon in their hokkien mee, and for serving it only with slices of fresh red chilli on the side. Try asking for sambal belacan and risk the loss of your head. The thin beehoon they use is a great vehicle for soaking up all the prawn stock and seasonings, making for an extremely tasty plate of hokkien mee. With such a flavourful offering, it’s no wonder they prefer not to detract from it with sambal belacan. Check out their Instagram page for their off-days, which from experience can be erratic, and call at least an hour ahead to place your order.

Hokkien Man Hokkien Mee‘s claim to fame is chef Xavier Neo, who was previously a sous chef at the three Michelin-starred Les Amis. He applies French culinary techniques to this humble hawker favourite, and the sambal belacan is an adaptation of his wife’s nasi lemak sambal. This plate of hokkien mee is a hot commodity among the residents in the area, and they will tell you that there is constantly a long queue and the waiting time runs to approximately 45 minutes.

Ah Hock Hokkien Mee is, without a doubt, one of the best-known stalls in Chomp Chomp Food Centre, with a loyal following all of its own. It holds a Michelin Plate, which denotes a plate of quality food, and you can expect an average wait of 30 to 45 minutes on a good day. Unlike many of the other hokkien mee on this list, don’t be expecting any lard in this plate of noodles.

Xiao Di Fried Prawn Noodle is run by a young chap who helpfully provides a buzzer when you place your order. His noodles fall smack under the category of wet hokkien mee, swimming in a toothsome stock. Come for his specially-made chilli sauce, which seems runny but packs a punch. If accessibility is a deciding factor for you, this may not be your top choice.

Run by 21-year-old Andre, who started frying hokkien mee at the tender age of 14, YouFu blew our minds on our first bite. You get a choice of thin or thick beehoon here, which gets you respectively a dry, or wet, plate of hokkien mee. Opt for the $6 plate and above to get served on an opeh leaf, lending the hokkien mee a delightful flavour.

The OG Geylang Lorong 29 Hokkien Mee is still cooked over a charcoal fire today, as it was 41 years ago when they first began. Expect a plate of smoky, deep flavours, brought out by the intense heat of the charcoal fire. As with Nam Sing, they use thin beehoon in their dish, but with a greater ratio of yellow noodles. The heavy smokiness might be off-putting for some, but we find that extra squeezes of calamansi provide a sharp relief to the heavy flavours.

Mian Wang 1971is a hidden gem in Bukit Batok that serves hokkien mee with a twist. Their recipe has been handed down through three generations, and their hokkien mee comes with a selection of toppings you can choose from─salted egg calamari, mala seafood, sambal belacan pork belly and more. You’ll find that the hokkien mee at Mian Wang 1971 is of the dry variety, which we found paired best with the sambal belacan pork belly.

Chef Goo at Alexandra Village Food Centre is run by a former limousine driver who changed careers to F&B amidst COVID-19. His main speciality here is his Fried Hokkien Mee ($5), made with red prawns imported from Saudi Arabia. The Hokkien mee here is wetter in style, doused in a 12-hour broth that is rife with heady notes of prawn. Enjoy your hokkien mee with a side of their house-made chilli, which is zingy and cuts through the richness of each spoonful.
