Four Seas Fish Soup (四海鱼汤) @ Albert Centre Food Centre [Near Bugis MRT]

Confused.

I was on the lookout for this supposedly famous porridge stall in Albert Centre but i found two stalls and both didn't boast a queue typical of reputable, well known food stalls in Singapore. To add on to the confusion, this was during the morning peak when porridge should be quite a common staple. 

While i was deliberating on which to patronise, mom stepped in (think she could not stand my indecisiveness) and strongly recommended the fish soup from this Four Seas stall. Coming from my mother, the food should not be too bad! 

With green leafy vegetables topping the clear broth, i initially thought i have misunderstood my mom's definition of "good". By all means, it could have bloody meant "healthy" which is seldom delicious.

Thank god the soup was actually incredibly flavourful although the vegetables have balanced out the saltiness that could otherwise be complained upon by health fanatics. Frankly, it was perfect to have a bowl of plain rice to go with the soup! Fish meat wise, the slices were a bit too tough for my liking. 

You know what's so great about the fish soup from Four Seas? The appearance of deep fried pork lard in the soup! Now we know the true reason for its flavourfulness!

Additional Information

Mom's usual order was the fish head soup from Four Seas. By the way, she mentioned that we should always visit in the morning as the afternoon session is helmed by the older brother who doesn't cook as well.
