Teochew fish porridge and soup stall at Maxwell Food Centre, known for clear broth and fresh fish slices.
Yi Jia Teochew Fish Porridge and Fish Soup is a Maxwell Food Centre stall that specialises in the clean, soothing flavours of Teochew-style fish porridge and fish soup. The clear broth is light and naturally sweet, letting the quality of the fresh fish slices take centre stage without the interference of heavy seasoning. Diners can opt for the porridge version, where the fish and broth come with soft rice, or the soup version served on its own. The fish is sliced to order and cooked just enough to retain its tenderness, while the addition of bittergourd, tomato or other vegetables adds depth without overwhelming the delicate balance. It is a meal that soothes and satisfies in equal measure, a staple for Maxwell regulars who appreciate the gentle art of Teochew fish cookery.Operating Hours

Fish soup tasted rather average. Fish slices could be thicker. There is almost always a queue but it moves fast.

One of the best fish soups. The fish and prawns were beautifully prepared. The stock was put on high boil to quickly cook the fish , sealing in the briny sweetness. …

I used to patronise the Tekka branch and my go-to order is pomfret. I'm trying this branch for the first time. Somehow, I saw everyone ordering Batang here, so I went with the fish head mixed with sliced fish ($8) and rice ($0.50). They are one of the few Teochew fish soup stalls that stills offers Tang Oh which is a nice, old-school touch. I think the sliced fish were just okay for me. I'm fussy with my sliced fish. It has to be thick cuts and skin on so you can tell if the fish is fresh. These are hard to come by these days. But the fish head really blew me away. It is chunky, full of meat. Most importantly, It is so fresh and tender, without any hint of marinate. I highly recommend you go for the fish head if you can handle it. Don't be intimidated by the queue. I only had to wait around 10 minutes.
