Canberra Fish Soup – King Grouper Fish Soup at Bukit Canberra

 


Why King Grouper Fish Soup at Bukit Canberra is a Must-Try

If we love a good bowl of fish soup, then King Grouper Fish Soup at Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre is a spot we simply can't miss. This isn’t one of those fish soups with tiny, lifeless slices of fish swimming in a bland broth. This is the real deal—rich, comforting, and packed with chunky, premium grouper.

We made our way to Bukit Canberra for lunch, and this stall caught our attention. Spoiler alert: It did not disappoint. Here’s why this fish soup deserves a spot on our foodie radar.

Rich and Comforting Canberra Fish Soup Broth

Let’s start with the most important part—the broth. Some fish soups rely on evaporated milk or artificial sweeteners to create a richer flavour, but this one keeps it natural.

The broth is deep, umami-packed, and naturally sweet, thanks to the hours of fish bones simmering away. Every sip feels like a warm hug, making it the perfect comfort food. Whether we’re seeking a rainy-day meal or something to soothe the soul, this fish soup delivers.

Huge Grouper Chunks – More Than Just Slices

We ordered the sliced grouper fish soup, expecting thin, delicate slices. But when the bowl arrived, we quickly realised that “sliced” was an understatement. These were thick, meaty chunks of fresh grouper, not those flimsy pieces we sometimes get at other stalls.

Each chunk was firm yet tender, subtly seasoned to enhance its natural sweetness. The freshness was undeniable—there was no fishy aftertaste, just pure seafood goodness.

Honestly, they should rename it "Grouper Fish Chunks Soup" because these were hefty, generous portions of premium fish.

Juicy Meatballs – A Surprise Bonus in Our Fish Soup

We expected just fish in our bowl, but King Grouper Fish Soup had a surprise waiting for us—juicy meatballs!

These meatballs weren’t just a random side addition. They were big, flavourful, and incredibly juicy, with a soft texture that made every bite extra satisfying. They brought a whole new layer of umami and richness to the soup, making us feel like we were getting two dishes in one.

If we love a good mix of textures and flavours, these meatballs alone make the bowl worth trying.

Bukit Canberra’s Hidden Gem for Fish Soup Lovers

Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre is already packed with delicious food, but this stall truly stands out. The quality, the portions, and the depth of flavour make it a hidden gem for fish soup lovers.

And let’s talk about the service—the uncle running the stall was so friendly and welcoming. He chatted with customers, took orders with a smile, and made sure everyone left happy. That kind of warmth makes a meal even more enjoyable.

When we get both amazing food and great service, we know we’ve found a winner.

Great Value Fish Soup at King Grouper – Only $6.50!

Now, let’s talk about value for money.

For just $6.50, we get:

Honestly, at this price, it’s a steal. A seafood restaurant would easily charge double or even triple for a bowl like this. Here, we get premium quality at hawker prices—what’s not to love?

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
