Mutton Soup Magic at Boon Keng: A Culinary Adventure at Haji M. Abdul Rajak Stall

 


A Soup Worth Every Sip

In the bustling heart of Upper Boon Keng Market & Food Centre, there lies a treasure trove of culinary delights, but none quite as enchanting as the mutton soup at Haji M. Abdul Rajak Stall - Soup Kamping. Join me on a whimsical journey as we explore this bowl of goodness, touted by many (including yours truly) as a potion of unparalleled flavour.

First Impressions: A Dive into the Aromatic Abyss

Upon approaching the stall, the air fills with a scent so powerful, it's like being hit with a flavourful freight train of muttony delight. The soup, a concoction so thick and aromatic, promises a culinary adventure that could only be rivaled by tales of yore where spices were as valuable as gold.

The Culinary Quest: Choosing Your Potion

The stall offers a variety of meat options - from mixed cuts to the more adventurous choices like tongue, legs, brain, ribs, and an intriguing category known as "spare parts". Being a purist at heart, I opted for the simplest choice: just meat. Available in small, medium, and large cauldrons (priced at $7, $10, and $12 respectively), I chose the small size, unwittingly embarking on an $8 adventure with the mandatory $1 plate of bread chunks – a companion to the soup that nobody told us was compulsory. A heads-up or a sign, dear stall, would have been much appreciated!

The Feast: A Tantalising Tangle of Flavours

Diving into the soup, each of the seven mutton pieces (a dollar a piece, by rough estimation) was a tender testament to the stall's mastery over their craft. The meat, imbued with a robust mutton flavour, was a delight to unravel, piece by piece. The mandatory bread, albeit stale and hard, transformed into a sponge soaking up the elixir of mutton essence, proving to be a necessary evil in this gastronomic saga.

The Verdict: A Pricey but Potent Potion

While the meal was a flavourful journey through the realms of hearty soups, the price tag and the less-than-welcoming attitude of the hawkers added a dash of bitterness to the experience. Nonetheless, the mutton soup at Haji M. Abdul Rajak Stall stands as a testament to the rich, culinary tapestry that Boon Keng has to offer.

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...

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...
