Li Xin Teochew Fishball Noodle, Seng Poh Road

Lixin Fishball, Seng Poh Road

Christmas breakfast! 🎍

I never realized that Li Xin has presence at Tiong Bahru until recently. The stall's sequestered in Today Restaurant (71 Seng Poh Road). This site previously housed Old Tiong Bahru Bak Kut Teh.

The name/branding has changed a little here. The stall is simply called Lixin Fishball but we know who they are. This outpost is manned by a lady who looked irritated that she had been interrupted from whatever reverie she was in.

Prices have gone up over the years. I recall the basic bowl to be $5.50 back in the day.

Got a bowl of their fishball minced meat kuey teow dry and 白. I'm gonna go with it being pretty expensive at $7.50 for a basic bowl like this but it was delicious.

There's apparently a signature noodle which I never knew about until today. Instead of just fishballs, there's also a couple of fish dumplings and sliced fishcakes. Not a fan of their mee kia but otherwise the noodles tasted much like how I remembered them. The spring onions and sliced chilli made the noodles look....Christmas-y. 

The soup though was mediocre. Tasted like fishball flavoured hot water.
