Yuan Yang's signature soup features a carefully balanced broth made from soybeans, anchovies, corn, and secret ingredients. The spinach is fresh and provides a mild, earthy undertone. Topped with plump prawns, minced pork, mushrooms, and a soft poached egg, served with delicate thin bee hoon (rice vermicelli). The broth takes over two hours to prepare daily.
Tips from diners
This stall earned the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2023. The broth is the star — Jina spends over two hours on it daily. Ask for extra vegetables if you want more greens.
The thin bee hoon is the most popular choice, but if you prefer heartier noodles, ask for the Mee-Tai Mak or Koka noodles. The broth is the same — it's just the noodle style that changes.
Using instant Koka noodles as the carb base, this version offers a different texture contrast — the noodles soften slightly in the hot broth while retaining some firmness. A quick, casual option that doesn't sacrifice quality, as the broth is still the same carefully prepared spinach base.
Tips from diners
This is a faster option if you're in a hurry — instant noodles cook quickly. The spinach broth elevates this simple carb into something special.
A heartier noodle option for the spinach soup. Mee-Tai Mak are hand-rolled, thicker noodles with a chewier texture that hold up better to longer cooking. Perfect if you prefer substantial noodles that absorb more broth. Available with either seafood or century egg toppings.
Tips from diners
Choose Mee-Tai Mak if you like noodles with bite and chew. They're thicker and hold onto the broth better than thin bee hoon.
For those who prefer rice over noodles, the spinach broth can be served as a comforting soup-and-rice meal. Steamed white rice absorbs the flavours of the broth, creating a more soupy, porridge-like dish. All toppings (seafood or century egg) are available.
Tips from diners
The rice option makes this feel more like a rice bowl than a noodle soup. Perfect if you want something more filling or if you have noodle fatigue.
An alternative to the seafood version, this soup swaps the prawns for century egg and salted egg yolk, creating a richer, more indulgent flavour profile. Century egg adds a distinctive umami earthiness while the salted egg yolk provides a creamy richness. Served with your choice of noodles and the same carefully prepared broth.
Tips from diners
The salted egg yolk melts into the hot broth, creating a creamy texture. This version is slightly richer than the seafood soup — perfect for a more indulgent meal.
