Sliced fish bee hoon soup is probably the OL (office lady)'s favourite hawker food to eat druing lunch break. That is probably because this is one of the healthier hawker food you can find at the hawker centres. There are only two simple componments that make a really good fish soup and that are the broth and the quality of the fish used. The soup consists of vegetables such as cabbage and tomatoes etc. Evaporated milk is added at the last to make the broth more creamy and sweeter, some people love the milk while some doesn't. So the milk is completely optional. depending on one's preference.
