If you like fish soup, you’re probably familiar with the variety that often comes with evaporated milk. But new kid on the block, Fish Joy that recently opened in Toa Payoh makes their amazingly gao fish soup from nothing but hours of simmering to produce the milky colour of their broth.

The collagen fish soup at Fish Joy is said to be just like the one you can get at Beauty in The Pot, aka biap, but at an affordable S$10, or less.

According to Fish Joy, they simmer their rich collagen broth for 8 hours to achieve the rich umami and full-bodied flavour of their soup. If you’re unfamiliar with collagen broth in fish soup, it may come as a surprise to you, as it can taste quite different from your regular fish soup.

The broth here is made from a mixture of pork, rather than fish bones to really amp up the collagen to the max.

For the fish itself, Fish Joy does not skimp on quality. They have giant pomfret, red grouper, mackerel, as well as fried dory fish. You can choose to go with rice (S$0.50) or thick bee hoon ($S0.50) to accompany your soup, too.
