I am not a regular soup drinker and it's not one of my first choices of food to go for anywhere (my family doesn't drink soup regularly either). Still, pretty impressed by the ones served here at Lim's Soup — sure, the coconut flesh may be a little stiff if one can get any, but it's definitely not meant to be had (it reads "old" for a reason — probably shouldn't have done so myself oops 🙊). The soup is absolutely clean in its flavour, yet carries a light, refreshing sweetness that comes from all the herbs and the coconut that wasn't particularly intimidating for one that dislike anything with a strong herbal flavour. The chicken comes really tender, with meat that comes off the bone easily and goes very well with the soup by just adding the dash of savoury flavours it needs for the right level of contrast. Even the rice that comes on the side deserves a mention — the crispy whitebait was certainly a clever touch to add some saltiness and crispness to the rice (totally a sucker for that). Didn't expect myself to be enjoying the soup and rice here this much!
PS: it's probably recommended to place reservations for the soups especially for those heading down for dinner — saw a couple of folks who seemed to be their regulars picking up their takeaway orders at the stall while they were completely sold out in the evening.
Reasonably priced - prices starts from as low as $14.90++ and that's for buffet! Just imagine free flow meat, drinks and ice cream 😋 Add on an additional cheese sauce dip for pure indulgence!

I really didn't know you can have deep fried soba and then add in a spicy seafood sauce. The end result is 👍👍👍. Especially if you like eating deep fried noodles served in our local seafood eateries. The soba is super crispy even after it's soaked in the sauce it still has the crispy bite. The sauce is spicy but not overwhelming the soba. You must try if you like crispy noodles.
