财记鱼汤 Chai Ji Fish Soup @ Crest Austin — Restaurant in Johor

I recently had the opportunity to try The Chai Ji Fish Soup, and overall, it was a mixed experience. The fish soup itself was undeniably delicious, boasting a rich, flavorful broth that left me wanting more. However, the fish served in the soup was just okay—while it was decent, it didn’t quite have that fresh catch of the day quality I was hoping for.

On a positive note, the pork chop was a highlight of the meal. It was perfectly crispy, offering a satisfying crunch that complemented the dish well. Unfortunately, the hot milk tea and coffee were not served at the right temperature, even after requesting a change. A hot beverage is essential to enhance the dining experience, and this was a letdown.

Came here a few months back but forgot to leave a review! As the weather was cold, we wanted to drink some hot fish soup. Thankfully this place allows free refills!

The sides were also generous and delicious. Especially the fried chicken!!!! Must try.

Overall it's slightly pricey for a fish soup but is definitely heart warming. 5/5...
