Fish soup from Xin Yuan Ji is not those bland soup but rich, flavourful, slightly peppery and with a tinge of sweetness. You have a choice of whether to add milk to your fish soup. To have an extra "shiokness", You can add the red chilli provided to the soup. After we finished the soup, we saw some brown powdery sediment which should be grounded dried sole fish which adds flavour to the soup.
Fried fish meat soup @$5.80
Fresh fish slices fried to lovely golden brown in a rich and flavourful broth. Fried batter and shallots further enhanced the taste. Simple but nice.

Chunks of red snapper fish head fried to taste. It was a leisure to slowly bite and taste the crispy fish head chunk. I ordered the thin version of the bee hoon so that it absorbed the fish soup and is flavourful even on its own.

Felt really homely when they took out a home-style folded paper box for our fish head bones. Simple practical act to avoid the unsightly bones all over the table.

They have some homemade drinks with innovative names - Mama (line + plum) and Papa (Barley+lime)@$1.50. However the taste wasn't really to my liking. Their coffee was fragrant and nice.

Besides fish soup, this restaurant offered many other dishes as well. Besides the usual Cze Char dishes, their charcoal fish steamboat seems nice as well. Will definitely try it some day.
