Sin Kee Seafood Soup

If there’s any reason to travel down to the deep north of Singapore, it’s Sin Kee Seafood Soup, and perhaps Hong Ji Herbs Bak Kut Teh just next door. It’s easy to mistake seafood soup for fish soup. Yes, seafood soup contains fish, but unlike your typical options of adding milk or having it plain, and unlike the addition of rice noodles, seafood soup features a cloudy broth with prawns and fish, as well as handmade minced meat chunks with bits of mushroom. It’s also usually paired with rice. This humble coffee shop in Marsiling doles out piping hot bowls (from $6) with the options of the basic Dory fish as well more premium selections like Batang, crayfish, or pomfret. Pair it with the zingy house chilli sauce for the complete experience.
