Dong Fang Hong Sotong Ball Seafood Soup (东方红墨鱼丸什锦汤), Hong Lim Food Centre

Dong Fang Hong Sotong Ball Seafood Soup (东方红墨鱼丸什锦汤), Hong Lim Food Centre

Stall faces the market at the back of Hong Lim Food Centre on the ground floor (#01-47 Hong Lim Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street). I was curious because I've heard/read things about their sotong ball seafood soup. Tony Boey has done a pretty good job in his blog so I won't parrot it here.

The soup had a gentle savoury sweetness with a hit of fried garlic and some flavour from the seaweed - nothing like the powerful yet moreish seafood-y flavour that I incorrectly imagined. What I liked though were the sotong balls and meat balls. The latter was flavourful from the dried sole they mixed into the paste that made them.
