We couldn’t decide on what for our dinner, we were browsing the eateries at basement of Raffles city shopping mall. We stopped at Thai Express and waited for our seats at 5+pm, nobody entertained us at the moment. Then I turned my head and saw Soup Broth Asia, it sounded new to me, without hesitation we walked to SBA.

We couldn’t decide on what for our dinner, we were browsing the eateries at basement of Raffles city shopping mall. We stopped at Thai Express and waited for our seats at 5+pm, nobody entertained us at the moment. Then I turned my head and saw Soup Broth Asia, it sounded new to me, without hesitation we walked to SBA. There was a waitress greeting us and showed us their menu, my friend just has his braces tightened, he doesn’t mind to have something soupy and soft.First of all, the waitress led us to the cashier counter as we needed to place our order and settled the bill prior to be seated. Menu is simple and clear, we choose our soup as main course then add on side dishes as optional. They serve 2 types of rice, either plain rice or yam rice (add $1).
We chose Hainanese fish maw soup as it was recommended by the waitress and chicken daikon leek soup, opt for S$4.8 to have 3 side dishes and a drink for each person. We chose wasabi prawn, stew cabbage, soy sauce tofu, sweet & sour pork, stir fried eggplant and Thai mango salad, plus 2 ice lemon tea.
We were free to sit any place as it wasn’t full at around 5+pm. Soon after we sat down, they served the drink, soups were coming up then side dishes, the table seemed too small to house all dishes, we got to play jigsaw puzzle in arranging all dishes ourselves. Side dishes tasted good, it gave me the feeling of ready-cooked all dishes for the day so it could be served immediately once patrons placed their orders. I would say the ice lemon tea was too bland to me.
I am a Cantonese so having homemade broth type of soups are usual for me. What do I like this place, they display calories for each soup, ingredients they use and last but not least NO MSG. First taste of each soup, instantly I love the fish maw soup, soothing to my throat, taste just right, I kept scooping it and almost forgot about the other bowl of soup. Though taste was really good but they serve pig skin instead of real fish maw! OK, came back to chicken daikon leek soup, the sweetness of the soup didn’t approaching to both of us, plus the chicken taste somewhat unusual, obviously it was boiled for long hours but taste just not right.
Confirmed no msg been used, portion wise is quite decent. Whoever wants a mix veggie cum soup meal, this could be a good choice though.
