Shenxi Soup (沈希老火汤) @ Gourmet Paradise Food Court Toa Payoh HDB Hub

Shenxi Soup is well known in Singapore especially the main stall at Chinatown Complex level 2. Shenxi Soup is also featured in many media articles and recently is the proud recipient of the Singapore Brand Award 2011. Master chef Shen Xi is known as "Soup King" that brings the nutritious soup making culture back from the sixties.

If you have been eating at food court, you will notice Shenxi Soup stalls have opened at major food courts bringing the nutritious soup to the heartland. I have seen Shenxi Soup stall at Bugis Junction, Great World City, Clementi Mall, Nex and Toa Payoh HDB hub.

I had the Lotus Root Pork Rib Soup. One sip and I knew it is the real deal. The soup was very tasty, packed with flavours from the ingredients under long hours of boiling.

I enjoyed the Curry Fish Head, it was pretty good. The curry was spicy, creamy and yummy. The Red Snapper Fish Head was also meaty. The claypot also packed with ingredients like lady fingers and eggplant.
