Blanco Court Kim Kee Fried Fish Soup

Seeing as to how the review is not doing the food justice,i decided to write one as well.

My first encounter with their fish soup was back when they were in China Square. My colleagues invited me to join them for lunch and i was so glad i did not miss that chance.

When we arrived the queue was really long and turned me off,but there had to be a reason they had the longest queue in the entire food court,i bade my time along with my colleagues.

I could see why they had the longest queue once i tasted their soup. It was fantastic! The crispy fried egg, the hot and tasty soup, accompanied by the fresh vegetables was mouth-watering. I had been a fan since then.

They had relocated to Tanjong Pagar Mrt however their prices had increased. When i asked about it, The food stall owner had told me that rental was a huge difference between now and back then so they had no choice.

I saw reviews that mentioned that their food was not as crispy and fresh as before. This was to be expected as they are using induction cooker and not their usual wok as it would cause lots of smoke inside the mrt.

I believe that though their food was not as good as before, they are definitely one of the best, if not the best, fried fish soup in Singapore.

Heard from a friend that the original Blanco Court Fried Fish Soup had moved to China Square, which was a stones throw away from my office. Seeing an opportunity to try something that I like quite a bit, I joined the long queue which had formed in front of the stall during lunch. Luckily, service was fast and I got my food within 15mins.

$4.50 bought me a bowl of soup choke full with fried fish slices and a bowl of rice. The soup had strips of well beaten fried eggs which is rather rare in such dishes. In all honesty, the eggs, being rather tasteless themselves, didn't add much flavour to the soup. But it was nice to have that something extra. I personally found some pieces of the fish way too salty and some had this funny aftertaste. Signs of fish that weren't fresh? Overall, a rather average offering.
