The soup culture has gained enormous popularity, especially with the health-conscious group. If you have a soft spot for comforting home-style soups, this post is dedicated to you. Soup Broth Asia is the tamer sibling of The Soup Spoon, branded as a modern soup restaurant dedicated to serving Asian soups.

To quench your thirst, the specialty drinks are delightfully refreshing.

Hainanese Festive Fish Maw ($9.40)

For something light on the palate, the Hainanese Festive Fish Maw soup is a healthy and nutritious option, brimming with fresh slices of fish, springy fish maw, carrots and leeks in their gourmet stock base. Ingredients are added to the pre-prepared stock base and cooked upon order.

While I like my fish to be cooked just right (not overcooked), I like it when other ingredients are steeped for the longest of time to completely infuse the soup with flavour –and to add to that, I love melt-in-the-mouth fish maw and overcooked carrots.

Fried Omelette with Chai Poh ($6.20)

The menu comprises a good deal of home-style favourites. The Fried Omelette with Chai Poh reminds one of the comforts of home –one of the dishes that prevails on a typical Singaporean’s dining table, accompanied by a couple of other dishes (fish, vegetables or meat), a bowl of soup, and fragrant white rice. Fluffy and tasty, I would gladly stomach a second serving.

Szechuan Style French Beans ($8.90)

To get your daily fix of dietary fibre, you can consider the Szechuan Style French Beans. I found the French beans to be too crunchy, but that’s only because of my aversion to vegetables. I found myself in the minority amongst my dining companions, who consumed their portion (and mine) to the very last morsel.

Braised Tofu in Sambal Chilli Sauce ($7.50)

The Braised Tofu in Sambal Chilli Sauce is one of my favourite side dishes. The sauce is slightly sweet with a spicy kick. I can imagine myself soaking up the lip-smacking sauce with deep-fried mantou as though it’s chilli crab gravy.

Paper-Wrapped Herbal Chicken ($16.80)

The Paper-Wrapped Herbal Chicken is a highlight.

The slow-cooked tender and succulent chicken is well infused with a nourishing herbal concoction made with dang gui, dang shen, red dates and goji berries. Highly recommended!

Three-cup Chicken Hotpot ($13.80)

To bring drama to the table, the Three-cup Chicken Hotpot arrives in style. For a flavourful consummation, chicken wings are thoroughly marinated before being put to simmer in a thick and rich homemade Three-Cup sauce with basil and dried chilli.

Sumo Nabe Hotpot ($15.80)

Another intriguing hotpot option is the Sumo Nabe Hotpot. It’s inspired by a popular dish consumed daily by sumo wrestlers in Japan. (Sumo wannabes, here’s a good head start.) It is packed with nutritious ingredients such as chicken, cabbage, beancurd, lotus root and carrot. What’s most unique about this dish is that soymilk is added into the broth.

Kimchi Beef Hotpot ($16.80)

A personal favourite would be the Kimchi Beef Hotpot. I would love the entire hotpot to myself!

Succulent slices of beef and Korean rice cakes are simmered in a flavourful and lightly spiced kimchi stew, alongside cabbage and tofu.

You can choose to add udon noodles, Chinese cabbage or enoki mushrooms to your hotpots at just $1.50 for every add-on.

White Fungus with Red Dates ($3.80)

To end your wholesome soupy meal on a sweet soupy note, order the refreshing White Fungus with Red Dates. It is light on the stomach and isn’t overly sweet.

Mango Sago ($3.80)

For a richer dessert, the Mango Sago comes with fresh cubes of mango and pearls of sago, doused in a creamy tangy mango puree concoction.
