King Grouper Fish Soup

Generally, good fish soup in Singapore is easy to find in just about any hawker centre. 

The usual sliced fish used for the soup are either batang (Spanish Mackerel; a sea fish) or toman (Giant Snakehead; a freshwater fish). You could find many such stalls with their loyal following of repeat customers. To my knowledge, competition is friendly.

So far so good. Wait till you try grouper (from same family as Sea Bass; an ocean fish), if not already done so, at, say, King Grouper Fish Soup.

With more outlets now, you do not have to travel all the way to Changi Village to enjoy grouper at King Grouper Fish Soup. The outlet featured here is located in Food Junction at NEX mall.

Get ready for a memorable fish feast

The grouper fish slices are super fresh, smooth in texture, tasty and thick-cut but so tender that they do not feel chunky at all. Meatballs are added to 'beef-up' the flavour. Unless you are sharing your soup or have a huge appetite, the small-size order would be more than adequate to satisfy your penchant for really fresh fish.

For the  standard fare, go for grouper. If you are giving yourself a treat, try the premium red grouper.

Besides pairing your fish soup with rice or noodles, there are are also other sides available such as fried fish roe (best kept secret addition, imho) and fish maw.
