Double fish thick bee hoon soup at a hawker stall ($6)!
Hawker double fish thick bee hoon soup — clean fish broth with thick bee hoon, fresh sliced fish, fried fish chunks, fish maw, tofu, seaweed, choy sum and fried fish skin floss. $6.
Lunch comfort soup — double fish thick bee hoon soup at a hawker stall. $6. Two fish styles in one bowl. 😋
What was in the speckled white bowl ($6):
- A bed of thick bee hoon (rice vermicelli) in a clean clear fish broth — properly simmered with bones for the milky depth.
- The “double” refers to two fish presentations: fresh sliced batang fish (on the left) and deep-fried battered fish chunks (golden pieces).
- A piece of fish maw (the brown-black gelatinous chunk) — premium addition.
- A cube of silken tofu.
- A fried beancurd skin / tau pok piece soaking up the broth.
- A generous mound of fried fish skin floss on top — the bubbly crispy mass that’s the textural highlight.
- A small bunch of choy sum for the green.
The double-fish format is the upgrade — gets you the clean fresh-fish flavour AND the crispy-battered fried fish bite. Combined, it’s a more dimensional bowl than the standard single-style versions.
Fish maw is the underrated luxury ingredient here — it’s the swim bladder, slow-cooked into a gelatinous chunk that absorbs broth like a sponge. Premium-grade hawker addition.
The fried fish skin floss on top has to be eaten fast (before it dissolves into the soup) — initial crunch is genuinely shatter-crisp.
Total: $6. Hawker-premium fish bee hoon pricing.
Overall: 4.3 / 5. Double fish format was the differentiator, fish maw was the bonus, broth had real depth. Fried fish skin was the textural standout. Will reorder. 😍👍🏼
