Best pig’s organ soup in Singapore

Pig’s organ soup, also known as 猪杂汤, is a Teochew dish that has taken on a life of its own in Malaysia and Singapore. Typically, a bowl comprises a light, clear broth that’s packed with a variety of pig offal: liver, intestines, stomach, heart, and pig’s blood are commonplace. The soup is enriched with preserved or fresh vegetables, as well as fried or fresh onions for flavour. Rice and a zingy chilli sauce finish the meal.

While the ingredients sound straightforward, the preparation of pig’s organ soup can be a tricky one. Offal can be “smelly” and offputting when not cleaned properly. So, if you’re looking for the best pig’s organ soup stalls in Singapore that do it right, look no further than this guide.

1. Cheng Mun Chee Kee Pig’s Organ Soup

The Mun Chee Kee family name is associated with two of the best pig’s organ soup stalls in Singapore, as both often draw long queues round the clock. Cheng Mun Chee Kee is one of these stalls, and a beloved suppertime haunt for Singaporeans. The broth here is cloudier and has much more depth than the average, so it’s one to try if you’re a fan of pork-rich soups. As for the offal, you get pig’s stomach and liver crowding the bowl, along with meatballs, tofu cubes, salted veggie, and two types of pork: lean meat and belly.

Prices start at $4.70 for their Signature Pig’s Organ Soup, with the option to add on small intestines or kidneys. They also sell other zi char dishes, including a popular Steam Minced Meat with Chestnut & Salted Fish ($3).

Expect lighter, cleaner tasting broth here, as well as tender cuts of meat and offal cooked just right. Apart from stomach, liver, lean pork, and pork belly, the soup (from $5) comes with cubes of tofu, as well as fresh chye sim greens. Complete the meal with their selection of claypot dishes, including a Sesame Oil Pig’s Liver ($8). Else, they also have Lu Rou Fan, which you can opt for instead of plain rice, for just $2.50!

Jalan Kukoh Food Centre may be slightly off the beaten path for most of us, but it is worth the trip if you’d like to enjoy Teochew-style pig’s organ soup from Ri Tao Fu, which has been around for almost four decades now.

Priced from $4, the soup here is loaded with offal, including gelatinous pieces of pig’s skin. The broth here is definitely murkier, as it is boiled with the innards to order, but the addition of mustard greens helps add a lightness to the overall dish. Don’t skimp on their house-made chilli, which takes the dish to new heights with its full-on spice.

Fans praise how generous the stall is with the amount of offal that goes into the bowl, and how the liver is cooked till just the right doneness—tender, with a bit of bite. Definitely be prepared to queue if you’re headed down during peak mealtimes.

The soup here comes with both small and large intestines, as well as liver, slices of pork, silken tofu, and mustard greens. The broth here is definitely on the peppery end, akin to bak kut teh, but richer. If you’d like to have the soup on its own, it’ll cost $4.20.
