Soulful Mutton Soup @ Hong Wen Mutton Soup

Although you will find lots of ginger in the soup, which is to cover up the gamey taste from the mutton, there will still be the aromatic mutton flavour. In fact, when you enter the hawker centre, one of the many aromas you will sense first will be from this stall. 

Herbal Mutton Soup @ 老吴記 Mutton Soup

The defining element, mutton soup, was luscious and not too heavy herbal taste, somewhat greasy yet easy on the palate. Chopped chinese celery and sliced ginger were added as garnish as well as to nullify any lingering gamey flavour. Intense yet mellow, it assault the senses with effusive and complex perfumed fragrance.

Conclusion

Both stalls' soup were almost on a similar level, with subtly sweet and deep herbal mutton goodness. Mutton chunks were slightly more at Hong Wen compared to 老吴記. Our preference leans slightly more towards Hong Wen Mutton soup for its slightly better mutton meat, and slightly denser soup with a more lingering aftertaste.

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
