Wen Xin Fish Soup • Lu Wei – Homey and Comforting Fish Soup at Bukit Merah View

We haven’t covered much of Bukit Merah View Food Centre except the black and white carrot cake, famous mutton soup that is in the Michelin Bib Gourmand list, and yong tau foo that only opens at midnight. Last week I decided to drop by to try the lor mee which everyone is raving about. Alas, it was already closed. So we settled for something healthier –– Wen Xin Fish Soup • Lu Wei.

This seems to be a popular stall for lunch. The clear soup contained lettuce, tofu and fish slices. You can choose between red grouper or batang fish. Soup is delightfully light and clear, with a few slices of fresh and firm fish. All you get is just natural flavours from the tender white flesh with no fishy smell. Prices start from $3. You can also order fish head if you know how to eat it. Such a comforting lunch!

If you are early enough, you can also order their pig trotter and preserved vegetables. The gravy is light, sweet, and had the faintest herbal aroma which kicked in only at the end. Drench a bowl of fluffy steamed rice with the braising gravy, and you’re in for a treat. This is the perfect comfort food, I only wished that there were more trotters!

This is a really satisfying meal. If you are planning to go on a diet, this is a good place to start.
