Go Nuts for Coconut: Siu Chung Coconut Soup

There’s a reason why coconut is called the “tree of life”: it’s an excellent source of protein, minerals and MCTs – a unique form of fat that helps you lose excess body fat. Now you can enjoy this wonder fruit in an array of tasty soups by Siu Chung Coconut Soup at Cityplaza. Using coconut shells as bowls, the flavourful blends are simmered for over four hours with coconut water and an array of ingredients. Opt for the beauty-boosting pig trotter soup with peanuts and red dates, or try the ash gourd, barley and pork rib soup, which is said to help remove toxins from the body.

Peppery Indulgence: Chatterbox Express

Nothing beats a peppery bowl of bak kut teh, or pork rib soup, to rejuvenate a tired body. Chatterbox Express, an internationally acclaimed restaurant from Singapore, serves the Teochew version based on a traditional pork rib soup recipe by using garlic, white pepper and herbs. But like many other traditional Singaporean dishes on their menu, this broth is given a twist with a blend of Chinese spices for an even richer taste and aroma. Dip the pork rib into thick soy sauce and pair it with mee sua (wheat vermicelli) or steamed rice for a comforting, satisfying bite.

Spice It Up: Chujado Resaurant

This one is for the Korean food lover – the spicy kimchi-jjigae, or stew, from Chujado Restaurant. As a staple food in Korean cuisine, kimchi not only has a complex flavour, but is also packed with nutrients like vitamins B6, C, K and probiotics. As a soup, it’s spicy, tangy and umami all at once. Chujado Restaurant’s kimchi-jjigae recipe includes both a seafood and non-seafood option with soft bean curd, zucchini and egg, served with rice or noodles. They also offer other authentic Korean soups such as the soybean paste stew and the beef rib soup.
