Soup Restaurant Celebrates 33rd Anniversary with New Dishes and Promotions

A beloved staple in Singapore’s dining scene, Soup Restaurant has been serving comforting, home-cooked food for 33 years, and their iconic Samsui Ginger Chicken remains a fan favourite. To commemorate this milestone, Soup Restaurant rolled out four exciting new dishes alongside enticing anniversary promotions.

Tiger Prawn with Bee Hoon Soup 4/5

The hearty Tiger Prawn with Bee Hoon ($18.90) boasts a rich prawn broth, simmered for over four hours to achieve deep umami flavours, lightly enhanced with ginger. While the prawns could be larger, the overall experience is satisfying and perfect for a comforting meal.

Choy Sum with Minced Pork and Sweet Turnip 3/5

A simple yet wholesome Choy Sum with Minced Pork and Sweet Turnip ($15.90) featuring fresh, crunchy choy sum paired with savoury minced pork. However, the flavour of the sweet turnip was barely noticeable, leaving us wanting more from this otherwise homey dish.

Other new additions include Honey Glazed Ginger Chicken ($17.90) and Steamed Fish Slices with Samsui Ginger Sauce ($18.90), the latter showcasing the restaurant's famed ginger sauce.

Samsui Ginger Chicken 4/5

No visit to Soup Restaurant is complete without their signature Samsui Ginger Chicken. The tender poached chicken, perfectly paired with their fragrant ginger sauce, is a must-have that never disappoints.

Soup of the Day 3.5/5

The Shark Fin Melon Soup we tried was a light and refreshing option. The melon was cooked just right, soft yet intact, adding a nice texture to the otherwise simple broth.

Claypot Tofu 3/5

The Claypot Tofu features tender tofu in a savoury gravy, ideal for pairing with a bowl of rice. While it's a comforting dish, it lacks a standout element that elevates it beyond the ordinary.

Dessert of the day 2.8/5

We concluded with the White Fungus with Gingko Nuts, but unfortunately, the texture of the white fungus fell short, lacking the desired softness, and the overall flavour profile was underwhelming.

Daily Chicken @ Bugis - New Korean Fried Chicken Restaurant Serving Variety of Fried Chicken, Special Crispy Hotteok and More

Daily Chicken is a vibrant new addition to Bugis Junction's food scene, offering a playful take on Korean street food.

A sister brand to Daily Beer, the eatery is decked out in a fun retro diner vibe, with a menu featuring both popular staples and outlet-exclusive dishes.

Daily Cold Bibimmyeon 3.5/5

It was a hot afternoon, so we opted for the Daily Cold Bibimmyeon ($8), a refreshing dish of chewy noodles served in a spicy chilled broth, topped with crunchy cucumbers and hard-boiled egg. While the dish was cooling, we found the broth needed more depth.

For a dry alternative, there's the Daily Bibimmyeon ($8), where the same noodles are tossed in a sticky sweet sauce.

Cup Gangjeong 3.8/5

An interesting to-go-only snack is the Cup Gangjeong, which comes in two sauce options: Red (spicy) and Black (sweet garlic soy). The snack includes a mix of rice cakes with sweet potato, potato wedges or pop dumplings; all placed atop a cup of Sprite or Coke for convenient enjoyment. We went with the Daily Chicken Gangjeong - Red + Soft Drink ($12), expecting a spicy kick. However, the sauce leaned more toward being sweet with just a mild heat.

Daily Chicken Original 4/5

I was most excited about their signature Daily Chicken Original (starting from $17 for half a chicken) and glad it did not disappoint. I particularly liked the crunchy skin and the non-greasy, juicy meat. The fried chicken comes in several flavours, including Red ("spicy angry bird sauce"), Black (sweet garlic soy), and Crunch (coated in corn flakes with garlic and sweet-spicy seasoning). Portions are flexible, allowing diners to choose between half, whole, or a full serving of wings.

Crispy Pastry Honey Hotteok 4/5

For dessert, the Crispy Pastry Honey Hotteok ($14) was a standout on the menu. A twist on the traditional hotteok, this version uses deep-fried honey hotteok for extra crunch and is served with whipped cream. Though the whipped cream was a bit heavy and the hotteok slightly oily, it was a satisfying sweet treat. If you're craving something savoury instead, the Crispy Pastry Corn Cheese Hotteok ($14) replaces sweet and savoury corn cheese.
