It is unfortunate that some people only think of having fish soup when they're not feeling well. Its wholesome image has created the impression that it's bland and boring. 

While it doesn't excite one's senses as much as say, char kway teow or satay, when done well, fish soup can be very satisfying too! And you don't have to feel guilty after indulging in it. Most sliced fish soup are prepared with Spanish mackerel (known locally as "batang"), which is a great source of protein, vitamins A, B and D, minerals, and Omega-3 fatty acids. 

The stalls in this article are among the best in Singapore. But because they were all so good, with each having its own distinctive style, it was tough choosing a winner out of the five stalls.
