紅炉酸菜鱼 (Hong Lu Sauerkraut Fish) specializes in authentic Sichuan-style fish preparations at Food Republic within Shaw House basement, bringing the bold, tangy flavors of suan cai yu (pickled vegetable fish soup) to Orchard Road diners craving regional Chinese cuisine that stands apart from generic food court offerings. This specialized stall focuses on the traditional Sichuan dish featuring tender fish fillets swimming in a distinctive sour and spicy broth loaded with fermented mustard greens that provide the characteristic tang, balanced with dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns creating the numbing sensation (ma la) beloved in Sichuan cuisine.
The signature sauerkraut fish delivers generous portions that satisfy hearty appetites, with the fermented vegetables providing gut-friendly probiotics alongside robust flavors that awaken palates dulled by milder Singaporean-Chinese preparations. The cooking technique ensures fish remains tender while absorbing the complex flavors of the aromatic broth, with the fermented vegetables contributing depth that evolves with each spoonful. The dish appeals to adventurous eaters seeking authentic regional Chinese flavors and Sichuan cuisine enthusiasts who appreciate properly executed suan cai yu matching what they'd encounter in Chengdu or Chongqing.
Located at Food Republic in Shaw House basement at 350 Orchard Road, just steps from Orchard MRT station, Hong Lu Sauerkraut Fish provides accessible entry to Sichuan's distinctive flavor profiles for shoppers and office workers willing to embrace bold tastes during lunch breaks or shopping excursions, offering an authentic alternative to the sanitized Chinese food often found in Orchard food courts.

I've eaten there several times a week since they opened because the fish fillets are fresh and boneless. But recently I've been particularly disappointed. The fish fillets taste like tofu—thin and crumbly. It's definitely not what I expected; the fillets are noticeably thinner and less plentiful, and there are even tiny fish bones that pricked my gums. I took it to the owner, and she apologized and explained that they used a different type of fish. Should I continue to support them?

The signature bowl I ordered, is absolutely delicious! Probably a Singapore favorite dish with comes with Bursting flavors with good combination of their vegetables.
The owner, is also very polite and cheerful. She will asked for your preference, your taste like or recommend you on her other signature dishes.
But the fish, mixed with the vegetables with a little bit of rice. Is truly remarkable when it enters your mouth, the flavors run around your mouth is like a rainbow with flowing colors in it! Definitely won't disappoint!
I Highly Recommend to everyone, because is worth the journey! Worth the wait! I'm buying again next week.

Multiple times I walked passed this stall with long queue at the Food Republic Shaw Centre, I always felt skeptical and thought it was a normal fish soup stall.
Till one day, I ordered their Number 1. which is their signature sauerkraut fish soup with rice.
To my surprise,
The vegetables were chewy with that bouncy taste, almost is totally a Fine Dining feel. The I tried to eat the vegetables mixed with the chillies, surprisingly the chillies were Not spicy at all. The soup, were hard to identify. As the soup seen like a flowing oceon, when you drink it the first sense is this dish is similar to the steam fish from the Chinese banquet.
When it comes to fish, not many fish soup owners tends to handle it properly. But this stall, they were able to cook it perfectly. The fish grouper was tangy, juicy yet unbreakable! Excellent combination of everything into a pot.
I definitely will come and eat at this stall everyday! This is truly cook by heart as I can taste with sense, texture, creativity, ingredients chosen and freshness!

No wonder i see so many people eating this during lunchtime. Saw reviews and ordered the signature and first bite of the fish is really fresh and al denta textured . The full of spring onions are my favourite with the sour a bit spice numbing soup. For $13+ for small really is little fish, very fast finish and left over a lot of cabbages. Highlight is the fish. Maybe can ordered big less cabbages. The steam rice is good too ( not always get good rice else where). Plus eat with the OG lime /lemon juice , perfect to reduce the hotness and or spice.

The fish is fresh soup base super flavourful . Staff service super friendly and professional when they intro the flavor.
MUST TRY fish soup when u come here

Will buy from this stall whenever I am in Orchard. Ingredients are fresh and the soup is just at the right sourness and saltiness. Give quite a bit of 青椒。standard was not as good when I tried other 酸菜鱼stall
