A good bowl of mutton soup!, $7 for a generous portion.
Came here at 11.30am, and there was already a queue of 8 people in front of me. Not surprising, as this one got a Michelin bib gourmand. The queue moved fairly quick though. Try to avoid the lunch crowd, the queue is crazy long and you’d probably have to queue for 45 minutes to get a bowl.
I got the one with mixed ingredients, which contained beef balls, tripe and ribs. I liked how fresh the ingredients were and the ribs were fall off the bone tender! My only gripe is that the soup just wasn’t my cup of tea. It was way too herbal to the point it became a bit bitter.
A long queue during circuit breaker tells you a lot. This is Chinese mutton soup, different from sup kambing, but it's still quite different from the former, in a good way. Intense yet not jelak. Meat was very good, although could be gamier. If anything, I'd cut out the garnish. Here, you can order head to tail of a sheep.
Mutton soup.
