For some reason I really love this place, ever since Daryl (dawg!) brought me here a couple of years back I have not failed to come back for their wonderful turtle soup. The only draw back about this place is that it's rather inaccessible, or rather, I'm just pretty lazy to go sometimes unless someone drives. Anyway, I like going with Daryl also because he has a bottle of XO there, when you add some to the soup, its heavenly!!So some important points to note when you eat here. If you want to be adventurous you can get the internal organs and eggs. They have 2 types of eggs available. One is a larger, soft creamy runny yolk like textured egg, and the other is small and hard like hard boiled eggs. I prefer the runny ones, those are really rich and delicious. Of course thats a personal preference. Also, I'm not sure how it works for the XO and whether you can just bring your own over there but since Daryl is a loyal customer he gets to keep his bottle there.
Reasons why I love their turtle soup? Because their soup doesn't have the fishy smell like turtle house, their meat is nicely cleaned so you don't get weird fatty bits and their soup is probably the best I've tasted! Very rich and full of herbs flavour. The only draw back? They're quite anal about topping up soup. Even for loyal customers like Daryl, the boss only allows one refill of soup, and they only top up about a third or half a bowl of soup. You could try asking for more, but their standard answer is.... The soup is very heaty, cannot drink too much. So you have been warned, don't keep your hopes up about multiple refills of soup. As with all turtle soup stalls, food here ain't cheap. A small bowl sets you back $13. 3 runny eggs costs $2. For the more squirmish, you can have black chicken soup instead.Ser Seng Herbs Restaurant
