  2. Megan's Kitchen

    The fish balls Megan's Kitchens are not your typical snow-white balls bobbing in a clear consummé or slathered in a thick curry sauce; they're designed to go with the simmering broth of soupy hotpot. There’s the classic Chiu Chow make, or the Fu Zhou edition with a meaty filling of either original or spicy. And a cuttlefish ball, too, made with bite-size cuttlefish chunks folded within the homemade paste and in an rainbow specturm of colours.

  3. Fishball Man

    This here is the citywide beloved version of the humble fishball. Simmered and soaked in a thick curry soup, first, then brushed with a scooping of chunky curry sauce. Fishball Man has been a favourite for decades and it’s simple to see why: fish balls moulded in the perfect one-size bite with the perfect chew followed by the street stall's infamous Secret Satay Sauce that’s both sweet and spicy, and the secret to it's popularity.
