Thye Hong Fishball Noodle – Handmade Fishballs in Bukit Batok!

Nowadays, handmade fishballs are very rare. Stalls that sell them are treasured finds indeed. Thye Hong Fishball Noodle is one such stall. There is another stall in Ghim Moh that goes by the same name. That’s because the owners of both stalls are siblings. The younger brother is helming the stall here in Bukit Batok.

The fishballs and fishcake are made from yellowtail. The whole family gets the same fish from the same supplier. The results are these little white balls of goodness.

You can choose from a few different types of noodles, and whether you want the dry or soup version. We got the Mee Pok dry ($3.50) and Kway Teow Soup ($3.50). They come with spring onions and a few pieces of lard.

The noodles were eggy, chewy and slightly spicy from the addition of chilli.

Now for the star of the dish, the fishballs. They were incredibly bouncy and supple. If only I could show you. I’ll bet they can bounce a few times if I threw them. They’re soft enough so you can sink your teeth in all the way through. You can taste the yellowtail, but it’s not fishy at all — a testament to how good these are. The sizes are all relatively uniformed too, even though they’re homemade.

Order the kway teow soup if you feel a little under the weather, or if it’s a cold day. A nice, warm, comforting bowl of fishball noodles will chase any blues away. The soup had a light and clean taste. They don’t use MSG in their soup, which must explain why. Be warned that the noodles soak up the soup really quickly.

I preferred the dry version to the soup version. For someone who doesn’t really fancy fishball noodles, the fishballs really blew me away. I guess there really is a difference between handmade fishballs and mass produced ones. If you love fishball noodles, you must give this a go.
