Teochew Fish Soup in Singapore, Explained Simply

Most fish soup in Singapore gets its body from adding evaporated milk. Ours doesn’t.

Grandpa’s Pomfret Fish Soup is built from batang fish bones, slowly boiled until the broth naturally thickens with collagen. The result is a clean-tasting, collagen-rich soup with natural body, rather than a milky broth created by adding milk.

While batang fish slices are commonly found in Singapore, our bowl is served with generous amount of Pomfret instead.

Fish Bones, Not Shortcuts for your Fresh Fish Soup Fix

A Bowl of Fish Soup, Pomfret Fish Slices &
Three Generations Deep

The founder’s father started with a basket of fish and a walking route around River Valley. Hup Lok sources through that same network, and through direct supplier relationships for seafood like prawns, king crab and scallops.

Fewer hands between the fish and the bowl means fresh fish, generous portions, and pricing that stays honest.

Hup Lok also serves traditional Singaporean classics like Hokkien Mee, Prawn Mee, and Alaska King Crab Bee Hoon.
