Tan Ser Seng Herbs Restaurant

Turtle soup was really good. Meat was tender and odourless.
Soup was flavourful.
Staff were really friendly and hospitable. Service standard was excellent.

a very rich and hearty bowl of chicken soup! we ordered the cordyceps white chicken soup and the ginseng black chicken soup! both soups were very delicious and flavourful. the chicken was infused with the taste of the soup and super tender!

the sides of aged preserved radish omelette, handmade prawn roll and cucumber in vinaigrette also complemented the soups really well! would definitely recommend to bring your parents here to treat them to a healthy yet tasty meal!

Tried their signature claypot turtle soup and the fish maw soup. Overall quite good but a little overpriced. 😉

Healthy and authentic signature ginseng black chicken soup. The soup is double boiled, super-rich in flavours with great health benefits. The chicken meat is tender, soft and well accompanied by a thick broth that comes with a strong herbal taste and earthy sweetness.

This is a hearty and nutritious dish for all ages from young to old that nourishes blood, improves digestion, slows down the ageing process, encourages bone growth, low in fats and is high in protein. I also ordered some tofu with spinach topping which makes the tofu more fragrant and flavourful. All of these go well with their yam rice that is seasoned with dark soy sauce with yam cubes and shiitake then topped off with crispy shallots.

The ginseng chrysanthemum tea was a good choice to cleanse the palate after a meal and it also promotes detoxification, improves blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, immune system, kidney function and mood.

Nourishing Meal at Tan Ser Seng!

This is one of the place that I have been wanting to try for a very long time! Finally made a trip down a week ago!

We got the following food items:
-Herbal Cordyceps Chicken Soup ($15++)
-Jade Tofu ($10++)
-Preserved Radish Omelette ($10++)
-Yam Rice ($1.60++)

This place is actually known for their turtle soup, but we are chickens who dare not try, so we got the safest choice which was the Herbal Cordyceps Chicken Soup! Do note that the soup refills here are only for the turtle soup and not for the other soup! We also got the super interesting Jade Tofu to try, which was not bad! The chilli sauce dip is like the dip for the sambal stingray, sour and spicy!

Come here for a nutritious tasty meal! They are at 29 Lor Bakchok Singapore 387791

Braved the heat for my favourite soups!

Founded in 1946, @tansersengherbs is one of the few remaining turtle soup restaurants in Singapore.

First introduced in 1986 was Singapore’s first 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐩. Rich and hearty, this bowl of superior soup was simmered for hours with over 20 quality herbs and ingredients, and it’s 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’s not as exotic as one imagined. Note: @tansersengherbs do not use endangered or wild turtles. All their turtles are farmed specifically for consumption.

Apart from their signature Claypot Turtle Soup, @tansersengherbs also offer herbal soups such as the 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐲𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 and 𝐆𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧. 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 chicken’s 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 𝐘𝐚𝐦 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐞 that compliments the herbal soups, along with sides such as 𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐜𝐞, 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥, 𝐉𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐟𝐮 and 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐎𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞.

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!
