The Soup Spoon 5 @ Tanjong Pagar

Back at TSS for lunch with the besties...I had to go with the weekly soup special...The Soup Spoon Five Blessings, $8.20, regular (right). This seafood stew has five major ingredients of fish, prawns, crabmeat, squid, oyster and clam and five vegetables of bamboo shoots, tiger lily buds, carrots, mushrooms and leeks. In my bowl of soup with a dash of vinegar, I tasted prawns, crabmeat, oyster, clam and plenty of bamboo shoots! Lovely. Looks much like shark's fin soup and tastes like oriental soup with an English touch. Deliciously yummy, a nice twist of the traditional soup for this spring festival!

They had the other weekly soup special as well, Home Style Cock-A-Doodle Soup, $6.90, regular (left). Just clear chicken broth with macaroni shells and chicken pieces. I found this slightly bland...but as usual, very tummy warming.
