Yan Ji Gourmet Seafood Soup by GoodEarth at Funan Mall brings the beloved tradition of authentic Singaporean seafood soup culture to one of the city's premier shopping destinations, continuing the legacy of what began as a humble hawker stall that has evolved into a celebrated dining institution. This specialized restaurant represents the third location of the popular Yan Ji chain, joining their original Marsiling Mall and Far East Plaza outlets in delivering rich, concentrated seafood broths that showcase the essence of fresh, sustainable, and ethically sourced regional seafood. The restaurant's philosophy centers on three fundamental principles: specialty, nutrition, and taste, with each bowl meticulously crafted to preserve not only the complex flavors of premium seafood but also the essential nutritional value through precise cooking timing and traditional preparation methods.
The menu features an impressive array of seafood soup options including their signature Toman Seafood Soup ($14), Dory Seafood Soup, Batang Seafood Soup, premium Goliath Grouper Soup ($19), and Taiwan Milkfish Belly, each bowl brimming with umami-rich broth and generous portions of fresh seafood that reflect the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients and traditional recipes. The concentrated, deeply flavorful broths result from careful research into optimal cooking methods that retain both taste intensity and nutritional benefits, creating soups that satisfy both comfort food cravings and health-conscious dining preferences. Rice portions are available separately at $1 each, allowing customers to customize their meal experience according to appetite and preference.
