Dailyfoodphotography: "Black & White Chicken Soup" be prepared to be shocked by the soup offered in Singapore!

Hi my beloved steemit friends, I guess there's many of you love eating and for sure happy to try new dishes. So do I!

If you're living in Singapore or in Malaysia, you're probably already having a weather shocked where our sunny warm weather has been overtaken by the cold, grey and dark rainy days. The recorded the lowest temperature of 22℃ from the usual temperature of 33-35℃ in a warm country here is definitely a big deal!

Seeing the headlines of the current weather on newspapers, social media platforms, weather channel on TV is no longer a surprise for me. Instead, I'm more concern about my food because I'm literally a "Food Enthusiast"!

To my surprise, I couldn't believe that what I found which I named it "The Best Soup In Singapore"!
Because! It's HEAVENLY GOOD!

Nothing better than a warm bowl of piping hot soup that is being served during a cold weather! I was actually searching on Google which is most like everyone's life saver platform which nonetheless mine too, to search for a soup restaurant. Turns out that this particular restaurant popped out at the top listed place to visit, which the overwhelming reviews and the extremely good feedback, I decided to give it a try.

I gotta say, I never ever regretted the decisions at all!

This place is located at the place not too far from the city centre and of course, is reachable by MRT for just a short walk to the destination. The nearest MRT to the location is at Aljunied station with 7 mins walk and walaaa~ You've arrived!

Upon arrival, I can already smell the flavoursome herbally essence blasting on my sensitive nose! "I mean, I am very sensitive to the smells of food, that's also how am I getting weight"

After getting a table, we are being served with wet tissues which were labelled with their brand and of course rice! And also the basic condiments in most of Asia, soy sauce, peppers and of course their house-made special "Belacan" which is literally translated as shrimp paste chillies.

Not too long of waiting after we made our order of their signature "Black Chicken Soup", it's the moment of truth where it lives up to the name and recognition! I can say that I have very high benchmark on soup because, I am just a soupy kind of person, I've tasted soups from all over the world, I had very good ones and also have bad ones, I am very honest with the taste and if it does not live up to my benchmark I would not touch!

We ordered a Black and White chicken soup just to taste the difference and also their abalone veges as a side. I could say, I whiffed the soups and I can already tell it's going to be an extremely good one. The strong and sharp herbal taste definitely do not lie.

The first sip, I am already blown-away! The piping hot, flavourful, soporific taste was absolutely unbeatable. 1 word, DIVINE!

Welcome the star of the day. It might look creepy, what on earth is that and who on earth would eat it?! It's a black looking kind of monster. Black chicken which also known in the Western world as the "silkie breed" is a much tastier, slightly gamier dark-meat chicken that has lesser calories than regular chicken because of its lesser fat content.
Due to its recent nutrition studies, it is already finding a niche in the West.

To add on the nutritious level, this restaurant included the Chinese culture using premium herbs like Cordyceps, Ginsengs, Red dates, Chinese Angelicae Roots, Wolfberries and different spices to double boil it with extremely high heat for hours and hours until the essence of the chicken and all the herbs releases all their potential goodness into a bowl of heavenly goodness.

According to the nutritionist, this particular soup helps to improve blood circulation and revitalise your energy levels, and it helps to replenish the blood stores and of course to reduce fatigue and pale faces.

Of course, all of us might underestimate it by the look of it but, the meat has literally zero gaminess because of the herbs and it's fall off the bone tender where it literally just melts in your mouth without the need to be chewed. It's extremely tender that it somehow causing a difficulty to be eaten as it dissolves and diminished slowly in the soup.

However, if you're not a herbal kind of person. You might want to opt for the white chicken soup which is almost identical to the black chicken but it's less herbally but having a mellow sweetness from the chicken and the dates.

All that I can say that is "Never judge a book by its cover" The appearance is not everything but the taste is!! After trying both of the wonderful soups, I declared to be defeated. Hands down to them! Now, every day I am longing for more of them!

Also, not forget the side dish we ordered. I am more than surprised how well it is with the simply blanched vegetables but the sauce! As if it's casted with some kind of spells, once you had it, you'll never want to stop! I could definitely taste some mixture of "Shao Xin Wine" which is a cooking wine widely used in Chinese cooking, dark caramelized sauces, oyster sauces and also the natural sweetness and crisp from the vegetables. To my surprise, I wasn't expecting that the restaurant is going far beyond to incorporate abalone slices on the vegetables which definitely makes it a wow-factor for everyone who has ordered it.

Conclusion

Overall, I would highly recommend everyone have to give it a try. "There's no harm trying but there's always a loss for not trying". We live up to try because after all, we all just live once!
