Tian Tian's signature. Handmade fishballs are bouncy and delicate, filled with fish paste and shallots. They sit in a light, clear pork-based broth (prepared for hours) with thin noodles. The broth is the key — transparent, flavourful, with a subtle sweetness from pork bone.
Tips from diners
These fishballs are handmade fresh. You can taste the difference from frozen or factory-made versions — they're bouncier and have better fish flavour.
The broth is underseasoned on purpose — it's delicate and lets the fishball flavour shine. Add vinegar or chilli sauce to taste.
Mee sua (literally 'thin noodles') are among the finest egg noodles available. This preparation is simple — wok-fried with just garlic and lard, letting the noodle quality shine.
Tips from diners
This is the simplest item on the menu, but quality mee sua noodles make it special. Don't underestimate simple preparations.
A minimalist offering where you get just handmade fishballs in clear pork broth — no noodles. Useful as a side to pair with noodles or as a standalone light meal.
Tips from diners
Food delivery bundles often come with free fishball soup. Check for promotional bundles that include this at a discount.
A lighter alternative to fishball. Ground pork is cooked until just done, maintaining texture, and served atop noodles in the same clear pork broth.
Tips from diners
Minced meat is lighter than fishballs. Order if you want noodles but feel peckish rather than starving.
The same handmade fishballs but served in a rich, spicy laksa gravy instead of clear broth. The creaminess of coconut milk contrasts with the bouncy fishball texture.
Tips from diners
The laksa is noticeably spicy. If you're spice-averse, start with the plain fishball noodle instead.
Tian Tian Chi Mian, meaning 'Everyday Eating Noodles,' operates at Bedok Interchange hawker centre. The stall is known for Teochew-style handmade fishballs — made fresh on the premises — served in clear broth or with laksa gravy.
