Holland Village XO Fish Head Bee Hoon
Holland Village XO Fish Head Bee Hoon is a restaurant in Dover that specializes in a traditional noodle dish served in fish broth. The stall offers two main versions with either fried fish meat or fish head, enhanced with brandy and ginger in a rich, creamy soup.
The stall originally opened in Holland Village and later relocated to its current location at Dover. The signature dish developed when a former salesman added brandy to fish soup, enriching the flavor in a way that became widely copied.
The name references its origins in Holland Village and the XO sauce that defines the dish. Locals visit this spot to find comfort in a bowl of noodles that carries personal and neighborhood memories.
The restaurant sits near Dover MRT station and is easy to reach by train or bus. The simple, small space means limited seating, but service moves quickly during meal times.
The brandy is added during boiling rather than after, which gives the soup its distinctive taste. This cooking method was adopted by vendors across the city and is now a defining mark of this noodle preparation.
