The stall has its own machines to help with in-house fishball production, but plenty of effort is still spent on filleting the fish and preparing them to be ground up. The elderly couple are usually done with the fishballs by 3am, and finish up the rest of their prep until 5am; just in time to open. He eventually founded Song Heng at Kim Tian Road, and had two whole units: one for making noodles, and the other for producing fishballs.

After 29 years there, they moved to their Telok Blangah location and had the longest queues in the hawker centre ever since. He continues to uphold the legacy and serves up bowls of noodles with passion and care.

Food at Song Heng Fishball Noodle At $3 , the Dry Fishball Noodles comes with a huge portion of noodles, and five fishballs. The noodles are topped with chunks of deep-fried lard and spring onion.

The bowl of fishball noodles had chunks of fried lard, spring onion, fishballs, and that was it — simple and familiar. The noodles were chewy and tasty, courtesy of the rich sauce clinging to them. You get five fishballs per order of noodles, and they come floating in the soup.

The Fishball Noodles Soup ($3) came with five fishballs too. Its taste was too mild for my liking, but I liked how smooth and soft the noodles were. While the lack of taste put me off at first, the dish was much improved by adding drops of soy sauce and bits of chilli to each spoonful.

The big portions are great for their quotations, and the mee pok is delicious. There are only so many ways you can make mee pok, but the sauce that goes into their noodles made it stand out quite a bit.
