Hougang Jing Jia Mutton Soup 後港敬佳羊肉湯 @ Haig Road Food Centre

I have not had mutton soup for a very long time and I could do with a hearty bowl anytime. Since I stumbled across Hougang Jing Jia Mutton Soup at Haig Road Food Centre, I decided to order a bowl to try.

As I was there after the lunch peak hour, there is no queue at all. I am able to place my order with the boss immediately.

On the menu, they have tendon soup, mixed soup, mutton soup and brain/meatball soup. I opt for the mixed bowl ($6) which had a bit of everything (meat, stomach, tendon and ribs except the meat balls and brain).

I am not too adventurous when it comes to food.

I took a sip of the soup only to find the herbal taste too light for my liking.

Well, it isn't bad. Just not spectacular enough for me as I preferred a heavier herbal taste.

The mutton parts are nice and tender though. Even the meat is off-the-bone tender. I especially like the chewy texture of the stomach.

I feel the stall has done well in removing the gamey smell from the mutton. Pretty sure the coriander and shredded ginger helped in some ways.


The dipping chili wasn't as piquant as I like. If only there is a bit more vinegar in it.
