Sliced Fish Bee Hoon (Yu Pian Mi Fen)

I ate the Sliced Fish Bee Hoon Soup at this neighbourhood coffee shop stall at Blk 444 at Pasir Ris Drive 6.



Unlike most hawker stalls, an electronic weighing scale at this Sliced Fish Been Hoon stall was an unusual sight. After customers placed an order, the sliced fish or Yu Pian was scooped into a metallic bowl and weighed. This exact science of measuring food looked impressive enough to entice me to try their sliced fish been hoon soup dish.

Priced at $3, $4 and $5 dollars, depending on the fish weight, you literally get what you pay for. The sliced fish been hoon soup dish comes in a light yellow broth filled with fat slices of fish and white round noodles. There is surprisingly no fishy smell to turn off customers.

The sliced fish bee hoon soup base tastes a little bland, but that just makes the sweetness in the fish stand out even more. The slivers of flesh are firm to bite and you can feel the texture from first to last chew.


The dish comes with a homemade soya sauce, cut red chilli mixed with an unknown seasoning. I prefer not to dip into the sauce in order to enjoy the sliced fish taste better.

Recommendation:
