Cheng Mun Kee Pig's Organ Soup

In the past while I was still in Polytechnic I only visited the same few places for supper. It was usually prata at simpang or mee goreng pattaya at siglap. Some how never got around to trying other stuff. Likewise, before I entered national service(NS), I never ate all the weird stuff like pig offals. Tried them before and found them kinda disgusting. Suddenly during NS though my taste buds started to change. I started to appreciate the kidney, liver, intestines etc. And that when I started to truly enjoy pigs organ soup!

Cheng Mun Kee Pig's Organ Soup has been around for a while. They're pretty popular amongst Singaporeans and have a few branches. You can find them at places like Lavender and Macpherson. Went to the Macpherson branch on Thursday for some supper. Even at 2am this place is still pretty crowded. It's one of the few stalls left open so late and night and there are a lot of people sitting in the area, mostly eating their pig organ soup.

The soup arrived hot but the rice was kind of cold. Oh well, just pour some soup over it I guess. Inside this yummy bowl of salty broth you can find pieces of meat, stomach, liver, pork balls, tofu and salted vegetables.

Note to self: Cannot eat this stuff too often. The liver is good for you because it contains high amounts of iron but because the soup has a high sodium content, not so good for stuff like high blood pressure. Eat in moderation I say. Or you can just eat the liver and don't drink the soup, but that would be the same now would it?

If you enjoy eating pigs organs this is a real treat, lots of juicy yummy stuff inside, coupled with a good bowl of salty broth, and a slightly sweetish dip of chilli sauce. Everything was gone really fast, not even a drop of soup left! One of the better pig organ soups around, unhealthy but gooooooood. My only complaint? That the rice was cold.
