Upper Boon Keng Hawker Centre: Cycling for Kambing Soup (Mutton Soup)

Описание: Read many positive reviews about kambing soup being sold at Upper Boon Keng Hawker Centre. Decided to cycle there to have a taste and its likely the best mutton soup I ever had. Recorded on 6th June 2020 during the time of Singapore's post-circuit breaker measures (Phase 1). This is a video recording of my cycle/walk with no talking.

What is Kambing Soup?
Soup kambing is a traditional meat soup that is consumed in Singapore and Malaysia. It is primarily made with goat meat (often bone-in), although mutton or lamb can also be used, while some versions may contain various animal innards as well. The meat is typically simmered in water with vegetables, garlic, ginger, and spices such as coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, fennel, turmeric, and cardamom.

Once cooked, the soup is usually topped with crispy fried shallots and fresh coriander, an ingredient that imbues the dish with flavor and gives it its signature yellowish-green hue. Rich and warming, the soup is usually accompanied by slices of white bread, roti canai, or roti Bengali on the side.
