Lixin Teochew Fishball Noodles Review – Photos, Menu

Lixin Teochew Fishball Noodles has been a steady presence in Singapore’s hawker scene since 1968, serving up traditional Teochew-style fishball noodles that stick to the basics. Their handmade fish balls are known for their firm, springy texture and rich umami flavour, making them a favourite for those who appreciate a no-frills, authentic taste. Lixin has kept things simple, focusing on quality ingredients and consistency, which has earned them a loyal following over the years.

Lixin Teochew Fishball Noodles

Awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand since 2022, Lixin Teochew Fishball Noodles has since expanded to over 16 locations across Singapore. Its original location at Kim Keat Palm Food Centre, the stall awarded the coveted Bib Gourmand, continues to serve amazing bowls of fishball noodles to snaking queues today. We visited the Lau Pa Sat location for this review.

Lixin’s Noodles

The dry noodles at Lixin Teochew Fishball Noodles come with a default drizzle of tomato ketchup, which, surprisingly, I actually liked. It added a touch of sweetness and helped cut through the oiliness that can sometimes weigh down dry noodles. The ketchup balanced things out nicely, making the dish feel a bit lighter. If you’re not into it, you can skip the ketchup, but I thought it gave the noodles a pleasant sweetness and tang that worked well.

Lixin’s Fishballs, Fishcake & Dumplings

The star of the show at Lixin Teochew Fishball Noodles is definitely the fishballs and fishcakes. Made from pure yellowtail fish, they have that firm, bouncy texture that lets you know they’re the real deal—no fillers, no preservatives, just the good stuff. The fishballs are satisfyingly springy, and the fishcakes bring a subtle richness that rounds out each bite.

Even the fish dumplings stand out, with a delicate yellowtail skin wrapped around a fragrant pork filling.

And of course, you cannot miss the fried dumpings that provide that extra oomp and texture to the meal.

Lixin Teochew Fishball Noodles Review

If you’ve never had a good bowl of fishball noodles, Lixin is one to try. The handmade ingredients really makes the difference and you will taste it. Even their clear soup is tasty and gets a thumbs up from us. With 16 outlets across Singapore, it shouldn’t be hard to get your hands on a bowl. Go to their Kim Keat location if you’re a purist, because that will undoubtedly be the best. Serving size is rather small, so if you want to feel satisfied, you will need to upsize.
