Founded in 1946, @tansersengherbs is one of the few remaining turtle soup restaurants in Singapore.
First introduced in 1986 was Singaporeโs first ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฒ๐ฉ๐จ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ. Rich and hearty, this bowl of superior soup was simmered for hours with over 20 quality herbs and ingredients, and itโs packed full of collagen and health benefits. The turtle meat tastes alike to a succulent and tender piece of pork. The jelly pieces were smooth, firm and springy. This is a uniquely tasty dish that surpassed our expectations and itโs not as exotic as one imagined. Note: @tansersengherbs do not use endangered or wild turtles. All their turtles are farmed specifically for consumption.
On top of turtle soup, they have recently launched a new dish - ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฅ๐. The turtle meat is stir-fry with white pepper, giving the tender meat a mild peppery fragrant. @tansersengherbs constantly innovate and improve their recipes to stay palatable to customersโ changing tastes and preferences.
Apart from their signature Claypot Turtle Soup, @tansersengherbs also offer herbal soups such as the ๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ค๐๐ง, ๐๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ค ๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ค๐๐ง and ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ง ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก ๐๐๐ฐ. Each pot of Gingseng Black Chicken Soup is stewed over night with one whole ginseng, to give a fragrant and rich flavour. As cordyceps are introduced to their chickenโs diet, there is no surprises that the chicken meat is super tender and the chicken skin contains less oil.
To complete your meal, order a bowl of their specialty ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐๐ that compliments the herbal soups, along with sides such as ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐, ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ and ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ก ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐.
Personally, I feel that there are not many restaurants in Singapore that offer soups so flavorful and nutritious, much less delicious turtle soup and tasty sides and rice to go along with it. @tansersengherbs is definitely worth the trip down to try!
