I have this sudden urge to get some new cables for my home studio and so I text one of Cynthia’s colleague Alex for help. He recommended one of the shops at Sim Lim Tower. And what better way to spend my lunch time at a fish soup store nearby that is so famous that you can easily find 20 to 30 people queuing wanting the S$5 or S$7 fish soup? When my taxi drive told me that that store charges extra for chili sauce, I didn’t believe. And yes, they do charge for extra chili sauce, extra vegetable and what not. Of course, no takeaway is allowed.
And by the way, it took me a while to direct my taxi driver to reach this hawker center. It is right next to the New World Centre.
I ordered a S$7 white fish soup instead of S$5 and gosh, I wish I have order the S$5 one instead. It was a lot! The fish meat tasted very fresh and the chili source is very spicy. So please be mindful if you are not a big fan of chili source.
While I am still puzzled over if the fish soup is really better than the one at Amoy Street (very debatable), I managed to get those cables as recommended by Alex. And gosh, those cables are good. My guitar sounds with greater clarity and much lesser noise. My two cables cost me S$54 and I am sure they worth every cent!

Hmm… I’ve been to Sim Lim so many times, but have yet to try that fish soup. I have tried the one at Amoy Street though, and it is overhyped to me. This fish soup place is close to Sim Lim Tower but not really that close isn’t it? I notice it’s nearer to the DSC Clinic than to Sim Lim Tower 😛
You are right. It is not that close. Within 5 minutes’ walk. I think around Sim Lim Tower area, there aren’t many eating places.
At Amoy Street, there are two stores. I like the thinly sliced type by the store near the end. I think both are pretty good though. I happen to be a fish-soup enthusiast and have practically tried all the fish-soup at the hawker centers/shopping malls I have visited. Are there any particular store you wish to recommend me to try next time?
There’s one in Geylang actually, which is quite good. They use the old charcoal method (where they stuff real hot charcoal in the middle of the stove). Tasty!
Wow … must show me one of these days!
