My friends and I decided to settle dinner at The Soup Restaurant, where the famous plate of chicken reigns. I’ve seen it far too many times on instagram but I haven’t tried it. Anyway we got a table quite fast because I think it’s quite late. I love the Chinese, vintage feel of the place! I didn’t order anything off the menu, my friends were the one deciding what to order because they always eat there!We had the Samsui Ginger Chicken (Small, $15.90). The big one costs $30+. But there’s only 4 of
We had the Samsui Ginger Chicken (Small, $15.90). The big one costs $30+. But there’s only 4 of us, so the small one is enough! So happy to be eating this, it’s my first time eating it. At first when it came, I thought, “it's just ordinary chicken, but why so many people always order it.” It comes with a plate of vegetables. WHY? It’s for you to wrap it with the chicken, ginger and cucumber. You can of course choose to omit any of the last 2 but the chicken is mandatory! I’m not a fan of ginger, but my friend said that it’s nicer to put ginger with it. For my first wrap, I ate it with only a little bit of ginger and then I know what she meant by putting more ginger. So for my second wrap, I put half a teaspoon of ginger, and it’s really good. The crunchiness, cold and refreshing taste of the vegetable is such a good combination with the ginger. If you must know, the ginger doesn’t taste like the ginger we usually eat, it has a milder ginger and less raw taste though.
They ordered Claypot Tofu (Small, $8). Despite it being small portion and just $8, we all ate 2-3 pieces of the tofu. But it’s abit sweet for me though.
I cannot pass up vegetables! So for the veg, we got Ah Kon Fan Shu Leaves (Small, $8.90). The sambal was of the right spiciness for us and it tasted really nice and appetising!
They also ordered this Steamed San Yu Fish Slice ($10.90). It is sliced fish steamed with ginger and nice soy sauce! I think it’s quite nice, very generous amount of sliced fish for $10.90!
Verdict: In total we paid $57.60 for all! Not seen in photos are the FOC soup that we got because we paid via OCBC card, our 4 plates of rice ($0.80 each). Plain water is free! I think for around $14 each, the meal is quite reasonable. The dishes were all nice and we didn’t have to wait very long for it. What left a deep impression on me was the chicken. It’s a must try!! Soup restaurant: affordable Chinese cuisine with good atmosphere. Service was quite good too, all the staff were efficient!
