真之味 Hong Kong Yummy Soup - 120 Bukit Merah Lane 1

Stewed soups which are wholesome, delicious & affordable. Their steamed minced pork with pumpkin is popular too.

There's usually a queue at dinnertime took a mere 10 minutes to get to the front of it. Soups start at $3.50, they are cooked in big pots and then scooped out when ordered. The soup was delicious and generous with their ingredients. It felt quite nutritious rather than msg ladened. Serving size for the rice was big too.

Went there for the first time on 17 aug 2018 at around 2pm and ordered the night blooming soup. Heard about the shop 2 years ago at clementi but beause they don't sell that soup, I gave up on going for it. Went there based on the 2018 michelin guide. Soup is nice to drink. Rice not sticking together. What's special is that the soup is packed with a lot of ingredients to the brim. Other places, because of cost savings, gave lesser ingredients. Meat was not too tough but found one that is a bit tougher than the rest. Night blooming flower or something else was soft and nice to eat. 1st time eating it actually. It taste a bit salty but still nice. All in all, everything was good. Food is affordable and worth it to me.

Spare Rib soup with Mushroom. Serving a slightly different type of boiled soup, this one is savoury with a sweet tang thanks to the carrots and shitake mushroom. Anyone knows the recipe?

Tried the lotus root soup here, the soup is very light and the lotus root I had was old and dry.

Enjoyed the vegetables in the night-blooming cereus spareribs soup. The soup and rice were good too. But the pork ribs could be more meaty.

As the name suggests, the soups here are very yummy indeed! Nourishing, healthy and delicious bowls of soups!
