Sup Tulang

A left over’s soup that has taken Singapore by storm – Sup Tulang is basically shank bone boiled down with tomato paste and spices; best mopped up with bits of baguette. A delicious concoction Sup Tulang was born when street side kiosks ran out of Indian style mutton curry broth.

Let’s not forget about dessert! If you have a sweet tooth after all the spicy dishes you’ve tried, try Tau Huey, a tofu pudding, served with delicious sweet syrup. If you are craving a nuttier flavour, try Tang Yuen in peanut soup.
