Our take: First Street Teochew Fish Soup is a long-standing fixture in Hougang, known for its traditional Teochew-style fish soup.
Diners consistently praise the freshness of the fish, particularly the batang slices, which many prefer over the red grouper.
The clear soup base, while described by some as lacking a strong umami punch initially, is noted for its clean taste and the subtle complexity added by mustard greens, shallots, and ginger.
The option to add fish maw is a popular choice for enhancing the meal.
While some find the soup's flavour profile to be more subtle compared to other establishments, the quality of the ingredients, especially the fresh fish, is a recurring highlight.
The queue can be substantial, but many feel the wait is justified by the quality of the food.
We'd recommend arriving early to avoid the longest queues, especially if you're keen on the batang fish soup, which seems to be a consistent favourite.
Expect to pay a bit more than typical coffee shop prices, but the premium ingredients are generally seen as worth the cost.
