Cambridge Yang Kang Hotel

The absence of both an obvious sign and air conditioning hasn’t deterred hungry locals from flocking here from 7am till late over the past four decades. With generous chunks of deep-fried Spanish mackerel in a stock made with halibut, bonito and fried garlic, the eponymous thick soup makes a great meal by itself or a snack between meals. If you’re lucky, you may even get to try the deep-fried mackerel skin that offers great seafood umami.

A firm favourite among locals, this shop doesn’t have a name, but regulars call it ‘the milkfish shop next to the big tree under a balcony’. Unsurprisingly, one can expect to find various cuts of milkfish on the menu: the fatty belly, skin, intestines and fish balls. Fish skin soup is especially popular; the skin is stuffed with fish paste, giving it a unique texture unlike others. Note that intestines tend to run out early in the morning.
