This was my first time trying soup from here, and I was a little overwhelmed by the options on the menu. I decided on the batang fish value set as I was hungry. I only realized it was purely soup without any carbs after I reached home, so do remember to add rice if you need carbs. I was quite disappointed by this store because I didn't know the fish soup was the milky type. Usually, at hawker stores, they'll ask if you want milk in your soup, but not here. I'm not sure if you can request a non-milk version too. The batang fish was the thinly sliced type. The soup was also filled mostly with cabbages and tau kwa. I also disliked that the ginger was in bite-sized pieces. I accidentally chewed on a few and hated the sudden burst of ginger flavour in my mouth. Although the container they used is big, one-third of it is actually empty. My favourite part of this meal is the chilli. The tangy chilli goes really well with the fish, so I do recommend you try the chilli. I feel the additional $2 is not worth it for the added ingredients. It might be better to opt for the standard size and add rice for a more filling meal. I think I'm too spoiled by our local hawkers' versions of fish soup. If you're a fan of milky soup and thinly sliced fish, this place is for you! I have yet to try out other soups, but I think I'll be avoiding this place for now.

Regardless of whether you dine in or take away, the food will be served in disposable containers and packed in a bag. So, if you are eating there (there are some chairs and tables next to the stall), you would need to take the food out of the plastic bag to dine in.
Food-wise, it's just okay, like normal hawker food but in an air-conditioned environment. The set is $6.80 including rice, and any vegetable add-on is $0.60, which is quite reasonable.

I've always been a regular patron of Hugabo @ Sun Plaza outlet as I live nearby. My usual order is the batang sliced fish value soup with rice and additional egg floss. Nowadays, I still order the same set but request to change the soup to Tom Yum flavour instead.
I've had no issues all this while until today, 08 Dec 2024, at approximately 16:47 hours. When I went to order, I was served by a very rude Indian staff member. I mentioned I'd like to request a change to Tom Yum soup. He immediately replied that he had never encountered such an order before. I told him he could check with his colleague as I've been ordering it all the time without any issues, and I could even show him pictures as proof. He just stood at the cashier and didn't even bother to ask his female colleague who was also present. I explained that I came all the way here to place my order and asked if he could do me this favour. He showed an unwilling facial expression and his replies, which seemed confrontational, along with how he handed me the receipt after payment, were rather offensive. I came to order dinner to take to work but received such lousy service due to a very rude staff member.
Is this how your staff are trained to speak to customers? I loved the food, but the customer service definitely needs more improvement!
So far, your other staff members whom I've ordered from before have been very friendly.

2 stars for the tomato soup - it's too sweet for me, I got so sick of it towards finishing my meal.
2 stars for the tomato soup - it was too sweet for me, and I got quite sick of it by the end of my meal. The portion size was decent, though. I would have given the rest of the dish 4 stars, but since the soup is the essence of it, the overall rating is 2 stars.

Worst seafood soup paofan I have ever had. I’m not sure how it can be this bad? Quality control was not there today. The soup was super diluted, with no seafood taste and no salt. The ingredient quantity was miserable: 3 slices of fish, 2 prawns, 2 clams, and 2 scallops for $15. Seriously? This is your top seller? "Flavourful, nutritional soup". Might need to rethink that tagline.

Excellent fish soup for the price point! The fish soup is creamy, rich in flavour, and very well boiled. You can taste the essence from the fish bone broth. They even add quinoa to the rice! Value for money. 10/10, would come back again.

I enjoy soups. Thanks to the owner of Hugabo, I get to enjoy their soups when I'm too lazy to cook. I tried their non-spicy options and love their signature seafood soup and Tioman fish soup. The ingredients in the soup are fresh. Hugabo is highly recommended to soup lovers.

The superior Chinese soup is light and very tasty, perfect for what I need now. The Batang fish soup is fresh and delicious too. My husband likes the Oreo panna cotta and the barley bits inside the multigrain rice. We will be back!
