I've never eaten at Mott 32 at MBS, but it seems that this guy learned from their former head chef on how to do fish soup. He now runs stall number 5 in the Johnson9 Eatery koptiam (332 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1), and his fish soup is quite unlike how it is usually done.

The biggest difference is the broth, which is not the more common crisp and clear fish-bone based broth, but rather a thicker and murkier one due to the use of chicken and pork bones. Yes, that made it kinda like a tonkotsu, and I liked how savory it was. But the fried fish was mushy, as was the rice, which made the entire thing sludgy, albeit not as much as a Cantonese congee.

The other thing that I got here was ther congbao niuroufan beef rice, which featured some pleasantly thin and tender slices of meat. But again, the rice was mushy. I was still happy enough to eat it, but it does make me wonder if that's the way they intentionally did the rice.
