Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon 金华鱼头米粉 located at Maxwell Food Centre, specialises in serving Cantonese style fish soup. I have read many positive reviews on this stall and was looking forward to trying it for myself.
Despite being there on a weekday evening (615pm) for dinner, there was a long queue of more than 10 people. This is one of the only two stall with such a long queue. The other stall with a similar long queue is none other than Lao Ban Soya Beancurd.

After queuing for half an hour then was I able to order and receive my food. The reason for the long queue? Well, there is only 1 person cooking and he is cooking only 2 bowls at any one time.

The Sliced Fish Bee Hoon was filled with ingredients such as bee hoon, fish slices, vegetables and fried shallots in a milky broth. The broth was tasty and flavourful. The sesame oil added on top further enhance the flavour of the broth.

As for the fish slices, they were sliced way too thinly. It was hard to get a good satisfactory bite of the fish. The fish texture was rough and tasted bland. Disappointing.
I doubt I will be going back any time soon with or without a queue as the fish was disappointing.

I like soups, but probably won't queue for more than 30 mins. Colour of soup looks nice tho.
ReplyDeleteIf the fish meat was good, then I certainly won't mind queuing 30 minutes.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a popular place, looking at the number of people queuing up.
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued with the color of the broth, wonder whether its coconut milk.
they are famous for their fried fish meat beehoon, not slice fish beehoon.
ReplyDeleteFried version? Looks like I have to give it another try if I have the chance..and there's no long queue
DeleteI second the fried -- much better than the sliced! Worth the wait.
Deleteyummy! :) i wanna try their delicious FISH soup base
