Qing Yuan Fish Soup is a hawker stall at Tiong Bahru Market in Singapore, specialising in fish and seafood soups. The stall's menu centres on classic Teochew-style fish soup preparations, including Batang fish (mackerel tuna) served either as a soup or as a fish head soup, a seafood soup option, and a deep-fried pomfret dressed with Hong Kong-style soy sauce, alongside a premium Blue Cod fish soup.
For a more complete meal, Qing Yuan Fish Soup also offers set versions of its Batang Fish Soup, Seafood Soup and Deep Fried Pomfret, and rounds out the menu with a side of homemade ngoh xiang (five-spice meat rolls). Orders can be placed through the WhyQ ordering platform, which lists the stall's mains, sets and sides for pickup or delivery.
Tucked into Tiong Bahru Market, Qing Yuan Fish Soup keeps its menu focused on one thing done well: fish and seafood soup, in a handful of well-considered variations rather than an overwhelming list of options.
At the centre of the menu is Batang fish, served two ways — as a full fish soup, or as a fish head soup for those who prefer that cut. Both are priced at $10.10. Alongside the Batang options sits a Seafood Soup, also $10.10, for anyone after a mixed seafood bowl rather than a single fish. For something crispier, the stall offers Deep Fried Pomfret with Hong Kong-style soy sauce, again at $10.10, giving a fried, sauce-forward alternative to the soup-based dishes.
At the top of the range is the Blue Cod Fish Soup, priced at $20.10 — noticeably higher than the rest of the menu, reflecting the more premium fish used. For anyone wanting a smaller portion with rice included, there's also a Batang Fish Soup [Small] w/ Rice option at $10.80.
For a more complete meal, Qing Yuan Fish Soup offers set versions of three of its dishes — the Batang Fish Soup Set, Seafood Soup Set, and Deep Fried Pomfret w/ HK Soy Sauce Set — each priced at $14.40. These give diners a bundled option rather than ordering the soup and any extras separately.
On the side dish front, the stall offers Homemade Ngoh Xiang, two pieces for $10.10 — a nod to the wider range of hawker classics beyond just the soups, using an in-house recipe for the five-spice rolls.
Qing Yuan Fish Soup's menu is available through WhyQ, an ordering platform that lists the stall's Mains, Set and Sides categories for pickup or delivery, making it possible to order from the Tiong Bahru Market stall without necessarily visiting the market floor in person.
What stands out about Qing Yuan Fish Soup is its narrow, consistent pricing and clear structure: most mains sit at $10.10, sets bundle in a bit more for $14.40, and the one standout premium item — the Blue Cod Fish Soup — is clearly priced apart from the rest. For anyone in the Tiong Bahru area looking for a reliable fish soup option, whether that's a quick Batang fish soup on the go or a fuller set meal, Qing Yuan Fish Soup offers a compact, easy-to-navigate menu built around its core specialty.
