HERBAL SOUP Recently, I was craving for some herbal soups and I must say, it was a thoroughly satisfying experience after trying out Tan Ser Seng herbal soup. Here's my take on the dishes I ordered:
Drinks:
I started with the Ginseng Chrysanthemum Tea, and surprisingly the tea was not diluted, which is often a common issue elsewhere. You can clearly taste the ginseng's earthy tones and the chrysanthemum's floral fragrance. It felt fresh and authentic definitely worth ordering and highly recommended.
Sides:
The Prawn Roll stood out for its size and quality. It was generously portioned, lacked any oily smell, and the ingredients inside tasted fresh. In my opinion, it was better than most zhi char stalls in Singapore. A great choice if you're looking for something savory and not overly greasy.
Soups:
I tried three different soups: the Cordyceps Chicken, the Ginseng Black Chicken , and the Fish Maw Soup. All of them exceeded expectations.
- The Fish Maw Soup was clean-tasting, with no fishy or oily smell from the fish maw, which is often a concern for this dish.
- Both the Cordyceps Chicken and the Ginseng Black Chicken Soup had rich, deep herbal flavors that showcased the quality of the ingredients used. They were hearty and comforting, perfect for a rainy day.
I paired the soups with Yam Rice, which was fragrant, filled with yam and mushroom bits, and surprisingly not oily. The flavor of the rice complemented the soups perfectly, and it was far better than what I’ve experienced at other soup stalls, where the rice is often bland or overly greasy.
The meal was not just delicious but also comforting and nourishing. It’s the kind of food that warms you up, both physically and emotionally—especially on a rainy day. I would definitely return for more, particularly for the herbal soups and that amazing yam rice. Highly recommended!
