The Food – Classic Teochew Comfort
At Ah Ter, the star is the Teochew-style fishball noodles, available in both soup and dry versions. The noodles are cooked just right — firm with a springy bite — and tossed in a fragrant mix of chilli, vinegar, and lard for the dry version. The soup, on the other hand, is light yet deeply savory, thanks to a slow-cooked pork and fish stock base.
Each bowl comes generously topped with handmade fishballs, minced pork, sliced fish cake, and crispy pork lard, with the option to add liver slices or extra ingredients for a heartier meal. The fishballs are fresh, bouncy, and clearly made with care — a far cry from the factory-made kind.
What Makes It Special
What sets Ah Ter apart isn’t just the quality of the ingredients, but the consistency and authenticity of the dish. The flavours are well-balanced — not too greasy, not overly spicy — just comforting, honest food that satisfies. Portions are generous, and each bowl is prepared on the spot, ensuring freshness in every bite.
Another standout feature is the stall’s dedication to tradition. Everything from the seasoning to the method of preparation sticks closely to time-honored Teochew hawker roots. For many regulars, it’s not just about the food — it’s about reliving memories of old-school Singapore in every spoonful.

Whether you’re dining in or taking it to-go, Ah Ter offers a fuss-free meal that feels like home.
