Malaysia’s award-winning herbal soup chain Souper Tang has returned to Singapore and opened its doors at Raffles City Shopping Centre on 29 July 2026. Known for its extensive selection of nourishing herbal soups, the brand has sold more than 7 million bowls in Malaysia, and its Singapore outlet brings over 15 varieties of signature soups — reportedly the largest selection of its kind available in a herbal soup restaurant here.
Beyond soups, the menu extends to a range of wok-fried dishes, rice, noodles and desserts, all rooted in the idea of traditional Chinese wellness cuisine. For its opening, diners can also enjoy an exclusive 50% off selected dishes for a limited time.
Souper Tang Signature Soup 4.5/5
With so many soups to choose from, Souper Tang’s menu can feel almost like choosing a prescription for the day, with each bowl combining different herbs and ingredients traditionally associated with specific wellness benefits. But while the emphasis is on nourishment, the dishes are still designed to be enjoyable and flavourful.
The Souper Tang Signature Soup ($28.80 for 2–3 pax; $38.80 for 4–5 pax) is essentially the soul of the brand in a bowl. Built around a whole chicken leg, the broth is slow-simmered with Panax ginseng, dried scallop, fish maw, and shiitake mushrooms, then finished with rice wine and chicken essence. The result is a deeply aromatic and richly layered broth with a savoury, comforting character. Despite the assortment of herbs, there is none of the bitterness that can sometimes come with herbal soups. Instead, it is beautifully balanced, with the sweetness of the chicken and dried seafood coming through alongside a gentle herbal depth. It is easy to see why this remains the signature bowl and a good starting point for first-time diners.
Premium Fish Max & Pork Tripe Pepper Collagen Soup 5/5
One of four Singapore-exclusive creations, the Premium Fish Maw & Pork Tripe Pepper Collagen Soup ($34.80) was my favourite soup of the meal. Pork tripe is slow-simmered with mountain pepper, fish maw and mushrooms, resulting in a hearty collagen-rich broth with a wonderfully warming aroma. I enjoy a good pork tripe soup, and this is easily one of the better renditions I’ve had. The mountain pepper adds just enough peppery kick without overwhelming the broth, while the collagen soup has a wonderfully rich, almost lip-smacking finish. The pork tripe is tender, clean-tasting, and has just enough bite to make every spoonful satisfying.
XO Rice Topped with Twice-Fried Emerald Fish Chunks 4.5/5
The XO Rice Topped with Twice-Fried Emerald Fish Chunks ($14.80) comes served in a hot stone pot, with the rice absorbing the rich, savoury and mildly spicy flavours of the XO sauce. The emerald fish chunks are twice-fried, giving them a crisp, golden-brown exterior while keeping the flesh tender inside. A light char adds a subtle smoky fragrance, while the combination of crispy fish and flavourful XO rice makes this a particularly satisfying rice dish. The hot stone pot also means you get some of that desirable toasted rice at the bottom, adding another layer of texture to the dish.
Jasmine Tea-Infused Sautéed Prawn 4/5
Another Singapore-exclusive, the Jasmine Tea-Infused Sautéed Prawns ($18.80) takes a slightly more delicate approach. The fresh, plump prawns are wok-fried with fragrant jasmine tea leaves, letting the tea’s floral aroma permeate the dish without masking the seafood’s natural sweetness. Rather than being aggressively tea-forward, the flavour is subtle and refined. The prawns are served over cooked barley instead of the usual rice, giving the dish a wholesome, slightly chewy texture. The barley also works well as a base for soaking up the light juices and flavours from the prawns.
Stir-Fried French Bean with Pu Er 4.5/5
The Stir-Fried French Bean with Pu Er ($15.80) surprised me, too. French beans are wok-fried with minced pork and Pu’er tea, bringing together the tea’s mellow, earthy character with the meat’s savouriness. The beans retain a delightful crunch, while the Pu’er adds a distinctive lingering aroma. Interestingly, the way the tea is incorporated gives the dish a flavour reminiscent of preserved olives, adding an unexpected savoury depth. This works particularly well alongside the rice dishes, with the crunchy vegetables providing a refreshing contrast to the richer flavours on the table.
Souper Tang Stewed Yellow Wine Chicken with Tian Ma Botany 4.2/5
The Souper Tang Stewed Yellow Wine Chicken with Tian Ma Botany ($20.80) is prepared with Souper Tang’s original Huang Jiu, infused with Tian Ma botanicals. The chicken is tender and carries a pleasant aroma of Chinese yellow wine, while the herbal elements give the dish a warm and comforting profile. It isn’t as punchy as some of the other dishes on the table, but it makes a soothing, homestyle addition to the meal.
Home Braised Pork Belly in Rich Dark Special Sauce 3.5/5
The Home Braised Pork Belly in Rich Dark Special Sauce ($21.80) is slow-cooked at low temperature with a selection of herbs and a proprietary dark sauce. The pork belly is tender, and the long cooking process lets the meat soak up the rich, savoury sauce. It also comes with mantou, which is particularly useful for soaking up the braising sauce. The cucumber on the side provides some much-needed freshness and helps cut through the richness of the pork belly. While enjoyable, I found this a little heavier compared to the other dishes we tried.
Signature Caramel Beancurd 5/5
No meal at Souper Tang is complete without something sweet, and the Signature Caramel Beancurd ($6.80) is one dessert worth saving room for. The chilled beancurd is silken smooth and delicate, topped with a generous drizzle of caramel syrup. The combination is simple but very satisfying, with the creamy beancurd providing a mellow base for the sweet caramel. The texture immediately reminded me of the popular Lao Ban beancurd that is soft, silky, and almost melt-in-the-mouth, making it an easy favourite to end the meal.
Dried Pear with Chuan Bei 4.2/5
For something lighter, the Dried Pear with Chuan Bei ($9.80) offers a refreshing finish. The dessert centres on dried pear and Chuan Bei, ingredients traditionally associated with soothing the throat and nourishing the lungs. Its mild sweetness and gentle herbal character make it a particularly pleasant option after a meal filled with richer flavours. It is a simple dessert, but one that fits neatly into Souper Tang’s overall wellness-focused philosophy.
Souper Tang’s return to Singapore is a welcome addition for those who enjoy traditional Chinese herbal soups but also want more variety than just a bowl of broth. With 15 signature soups spanning different combinations of herbs, meats, and seafood, there is plenty to explore, and the accompanying wok and rice dishes make it easy to put together a full meal.
For me, the Premium Fish Maw & Pork Tripe Pepper Collagen Soup stood out as the highlight, while the Signature Caramel Beancurd was a surprisingly addictive way to end the meal. The food strikes a balance between wellness and flavour, showing that nourishing dishes don’t necessarily have to feel medicinal or overly herbal.
Whether you’re looking for a comforting bowl of soup, a hearty family meal or simply want to explore the different flavours of Chinese wellness cuisine, Souper Tang offers plenty of choices to work your way through. With its extensive soup selection and Singapore-exclusive creations, it is certainly worth a visit for soup lovers.
