Their rendition has the most pronounced use of fresh and pureed tomato, including large sliced tomato and tender sliced red onions, resulting in a thick creamy chunky gravy with vegetal sweet savoury spice flavour.
.
The boneless cream dory fish fillets are moist and flaky, absorbing the tasty flavours of the gravy. Feels like there's more vegetables though.
.
You can request more or less spicy, as the default packs a mild heat.

Opening in September 2021, this restaurant may be out-of-the-way, but it also goes out-of-its-way in service and food quality. A reliable hidden find.
.
Generously portioned, their rendition is resplendent with spices, fluffy egg, tender red onions, and juicy tomatoes.
.
Bold with eggy savoury salty sweet spice vegetal flavours, this pairs well with drinks, rice, or bread.

Since before 1974, hawker Lin Yuliang has been selling this dish, at times hand-making up to 3,000 fish balls a day.
.
Firm with an al-dente chew, the mee pok / wide flat egg noodles picks up the rich gravy well, bursting with savoury salty spicy flavour.
.
The fish balls and fish cake are wonderfully springy with a juicy bite, and light sweet salty notes. Completed with crisp spring onions for vegetal sweet herbal flavour.

There are a lot of other stalls bearing their name, but the originator is the hawker at Toa Payoh, with other related stalls run by family or relatives.
.
Hand made and rustic, their fish balls are lightly bouncy with mild salty sweet savoury flavour, and the fish paste stuffed beancurd skin is spongy soft with grainy sweet salty notes.
.
The noodles are softly springy, generously portioned, picking up the savoury spicy sour salty flavours of the gravy nicely.
.
The her giao / fish dumpling is chewy and slippery, with pleasant meaty fishy sweet flavour.
.
The originator usually goes full flavoured, while the related stalls have more balance overall.

There are 2 strong points for their rendition of this dish.
.
The righteous gravy, with a good amount of black vinegar, tingles the palate and lends depth.
.
The extra large and springy juicy fish balls, mildly sweet savoury in taste, are so satisfying.

Love the rendition here, because of the generous ingredients and punchy gravy.
.
Their fish balls are lightly springy, with mild sweet savoury flavour, actually decent, nothing to shout about.
.
What stands out is the fish cake. The star ingredient, the fish cake is large and thick cut, with a succulent chew and medium savoury sweet salty flavour. I like to order additional slices.
.
The base mee pok / wide flat egg noodles is soft, picking up the savoury salty spice flavours of the gravy well. Completed with crisp lettuce for a refreshing burst of vegetal sweet flavour.

This brand offers traditional and modern renditions, and their dry mee sua with gravy is well loved.

Their fish balls, while smallish, are among the most bouncy, with an incredible springy chew to texture, and mild sweet savoury flavour.
.
The broth is light, with crisp lettuce and tender minced pork, resulting in a lovely meaty vegetal sweet savoury flavour.
.
I opted for mee pok / wide flat egg noodles, which had a soft chew, and picks up the gravy nicely. Has good savoury salty spice flavour.

They still use 100% yellowtail amberjack fish, sourced fresh daily, to make their signature fish balls and fish cake - large and bouncy soft with gentle sweet savoury flavour.

Each bowl is accompanied by fresh crisp lettuce with vegetal sweet flavour, over a base of chewy mee pok / wide flat egg noodles, slick with gravy that bursts with savoury salty spicy flavour.

Among the most generous-portioned renditions around.
