An established culinary brand in Singapore, Soup Restaurant (三盅两件) has come a long way from its humble roots operating out of its first shophouse at Smith Street with only 6 tables. To commemorate its 30^th anniversary, slated for September 2021, Soup Restaurant would be kickstarting its months-long celebrations, beginning with an exclusive promotion this December.

It is offering S$30 off its three specially curated signature sets, which feature permutations of mainstays from its roster of top 10 dishes. The three specially curated signature sets will be available from 12 December 2020 to 7 January 2021.

For close to three decades, Soup Restaurant has been building a stable pool of fans with their traditional, simple and delicious comfort food. The restaurant does not use any added artificial food flavouring in all its dishes, preferring to showcase the natural essence and goodness of each ingredient. Its all-time top 10 dishes are as follows:

Samsui Ginger Chicken: Soup Restaurant’s most popular dish, this is a traditional fare consumed by the Samsui women in Chinatown. Due to their low incomes, the women can only enjoy the luxury dish once a year during the Chinese New Year. Beautifully arrayed along with sliced cucumber, the chicken is steamed with minimal seasoning. It is to be dipped in the accompanying fragrant and piquant ginger sauce. Cocoon the chicken within a slice of lettuce for an extra crunch.

This is hands down, our favourite dish at Soup Restaurant and we believe it is the same for many of their regulars too. For the diet conscious, you can choose to eat the chicken with just the lettuce instead of rice.

Traditional Boiled Soup of the Day: Prepared with a medley of fresh ingredients, each bowl of soup is boiled and simmered over low heat. Options include Lotus Roots with Pork Ribs Soup, Trio Carrot with Pork Ribs Soup, Sweet Corn with Pork Ribs Soup and more.

Tofu Prawns: Accompanied with huge, juicy prawns, the delicate, silky tofu blocks are drenched with an egg gravy. The gravy is made with three humble ingredients: egg, tomato and chilli sauce.

Claypot Tofu: Belying this simple-looking dish is great taste. The wobbly tofu is topped with a sweet-savoury gravy. Diced sea cucumber lends a subtle sweetness and chewy texture. This dish is best paired with a bowl of piping hot rice.

Yong Chow Fried Rice: Soup Restaurant’s own take on the ubiquitous yong chow fried rice. The grains of rice are coated with egg and then tossed with fresh prawns and Chinese sausage. Vegetables give it a nice crunch.

French Bean with Minced Pork: The crunchy French beans are topped with specially selected dried shrimps and sweet turnip.

Hometown Fish Belly: This dish calls for the crispy bone of the belly, which is the best part of a fish. Fried ginger as well as spring onions contribute their respective flavours while a rich, umami sauce pulls all the ingredients together.

Hand-chopped Minced Pork Patty with Salted Fish: As each patty is painstakingly “hand chopped”, the restaurant is only able to prepare up to 30 servings a day. Steamed with delicate soya sauce, the minced pork has a good ratio of meat and fat, which results in a juicy bite. The salted fish delivers a savoury punch.

Sweet & Sour Pork: Each bite-sized pork tenderloin is deep-fried to golden-brown perfection, then topped with a sweet-and-sour sauce.

Double-boiled Black Chicken Soup in Whole Coconut: This Nanyang speciality dish takes 4 hours to prepare. The black chicken is an abundant source of antioxidants and is used traditionally to fight off various ailments. Enjoy it with the refreshing coconut, which also contains antioxidants and electrolytes.

In addition, each set will come with five pieces of Handmade Mini Longevity Buns. The bun is made by the restaurant’s in-house dim sum chefs. The three sets are as follows:
