White Restaurant, the homegrown brand renowned for its 'Original Sembawang White Beehoon', partners with Malaysia's Souper Tang for a heartwarming Parents' Day collaboration. Known for their award-winning nourishing soups, Souper Tang has curated 11 of their specialities for this exclusive menu, available à la carte and as part of a set across all White Restaurant outlets in Singapore from 29 April to 30 June 2025.
Collagen Ginseng Chicken Soup 4/5
The Special Parents' Day Set ($98) begins with one of Souper Tang's signature broths, Collagen Ginseng Chicken Soup. Fortified with collagen powder and ingredients like whole ginseng strips, fish maw, cordyceps flowers, dried scallops, goji berries, braised shiitake mushrooms, and a large chicken drumstick, the soup boasted a deep, comforting flavour. I particularly enjoyed how the chicken was thoroughly infused with the essence of ginseng. That said, considering it's meant to be a collagen soup, its light consistency didn't quite deliver the expected richness I typically associated with collagen broths.
Abalone Sauce Pork Tendon with Multi-Grains 4/5
Next came the Abalone Sauce Pork Tendon with Multi-Grains, a dish brimming with protein and nutrients. Served piping hot, the pork tendons were simmered in a rich, umami-packed abalone sauce and accompanied by fried tofu. The tendons were soft and tender, delightfully chewy without any gaminess. Pork slices were also added to provide extra flavour and bite.
Imperial Seafood Pot 2.5/5
Continuing the collagen-rich theme, the set includes Souper Tang's Imperial Seafood Pot with White Fungus, featuring scallops, sea cucumber, fish maw, tilapia fillet, mini shiitake mushrooms, and sweet peas. While the dish was packed with a plethora of ingredients and generally flavourful, the overall experience was slightly underwhelming, particularly the sea cucumber, which was unpleasantly rubbery and bland.
Fragrant Pu Er & Goji French Beans 4.5/5
My favourite dish of the set turned out to be the Fragrant Pu Er & Goji French Beans. Stir-fried with minced meat, olive vegetables, and a splash of Shaoxing wine, the French beans were crisp, umami-laden, and utterly moreish. The addition of smoky black Pu Er tea and black goji berries not only elevated the dish's nutritional profile but also added depth and aroma.
Supreme Seafood White Beehoon 4.5/5
The Special Parents' Day Set comes with free-flow white rice, but you can top up $20 to upgrade to White Restaurant's Supreme Seafood White Beehoon, their beloved signature dish enhanced with premium seafood such as asari clams, prawns, and fish slices. All dishes from the Parents' Day Set Menu are also available à la carte.
