[Souper Tang] - One of four Singapore-exclusive creations, the Premium Fish Maw & Pork Tripe Pepper Collagen Soup ($34.80) was my favourite soup of the meal. Pork tripe is slow-simmered with mountain pepper, fish maw and mushrooms, resulting in a hearty collagen-rich broth with a wonderfully warming aroma. I enjoy a good pork tripe soup, and this is easily one of the better renditions I’ve had. The mountain pepper adds just enough peppery kick without overwhelming the broth, while the collagen soup has a wonderfully rich, almost lip-smacking finish. The pork tripe is tender, clean-tasting, and has just enough bite to make every spoonful satisfying.

The Souper Tang Signature Soup ($28.80 for 2–3 pax; $38.80 for 4–5 pax) is essentially the soul of the brand in a bowl. Built around a whole chicken leg, the broth is slow-simmered with Panax ginseng, dried scallop, fish maw, and shiitake mushrooms, then finished with rice wine and chicken essence. The result is a deeply aromatic and richly layered broth with a savoury, comforting character. Despite the assortment of herbs, there is none of the bitterness that can sometimes come with herbal soups. Instead, it is beautifully balanced, with the sweetness of the chicken and dried seafood coming through alongside a gentle herbal depth. It is easy to see why this remains the signature bowl and a good starting point for first-time diners.

[Souper Tang] - Another Singapore-exclusive, the Jasmine Tea-Infused Sautéed Prawns ($18.80) takes a slightly more delicate approach. The fresh, plump prawns are wok-fried with fragrant jasmine tea leaves, letting the tea’s floral aroma permeate the dish without masking the seafood’s natural sweetness. Rather than being aggressively tea-forward, the flavour is subtle and refined. The prawns are served over cooked barley instead of the usual rice, giving the dish a wholesome, slightly chewy texture. The barley also works well as a base for soaking up the light juices and flavours from the prawns.

[Souper Tang] - The Stir-Fried French Bean with Pu Er ($15.80) surprised me, too. French beans are wok-fried with minced pork and Pu’er tea, bringing together the tea’s mellow, earthy characte

Kimpson's Table @ Far East Square - From Home-Based Delivery to Full-fledged Restaurant.

Ten years after arriving in Singapore from Korea, Chef Patrick Kim is embarking on a new chapter with the opening of Kimpson’s Table at Far East Square. What started as a humble home-based delivery business has now evolved into Chef Kim’s first permanent restaurant, bringing his take on comforting Korean home-style cooking to the heart of the CBD. Drawing inspiration from the convivial atmosphere of traditional Korean eateries and the contemporary energy of Seoul’s Seongsu district, Kimpson’s Table centres on Hansang dining — a Korean tradition where rice, nourishing mains, and an assortment of freshly prepared banchan come together as a complete, satisfying meal. The menu is rooted in familiar Korean flavours, but what stood out to me was Chef Kim’s focus on dishes that are comforting, wholesome and made with plenty of care. Here are some of the dishes we tried.

A new chicken rice find hidden inside Peninsula Shopping Complex!

Tucked away in Peninsula Shopping Complex, Hill Street Chicken Rice Delights 禧街鸡饭 serves up a variety of chicken rice and local favourites that make it worth seeking out.

We tried the Poached Chicken, and it was incredibly tender, silky and succulent, with a clean, naturally sweet poultry flavour. The chicken was nicely enhanced by the gentle poaching aromatics without overpowering its natural taste.

The Roasted Chicken brings a completely different character — deeply aromatic, rich and savoury, with a distinct hit of garlic and poultry fat. Despite the richness, it doesn’t come across as overly greasy. The roasted skin is where things get especially addictive, delivering that concentrated, caramelised savouriness with earthy, subtly sweet notes from the soy and honey glaze.

And of course, the chicken rice itself deserves a mention. The grains are moist, glossy and plump, with plenty of savoury depth and enough fragrance to complement the chicken beautifully.

The condiments are also well executed. The bright, fiery garlic-chilli sauce brings a good kick, while the dark sauce is sweet and fragrant. There’s also ginger scallion sauce, giving you plenty of options to mix and match with every bite.

Beyond the classic poached and roasted chicken, there’s Fried Chicken in Original, Wasabi and Salted Egg flavours — a fun option that feels geared towards the younger generation. They also offer Hakka Fried Pork Belly, along with Oyster Sauce Beansprouts, vegetables, Braised Tofu, Egg and Tau Pok, so you can build a more substantial plate.

A new spot to add to your chicken rice radar if you happen to be around Peninsula Shopping Complex.

[People People Brewing Co.] - The Signature Rotisserie Chicken comes in lemon thyme, peri peri, jerk or soya flavours, with a choice of fries or rice. We tried the Peri Peri version in a half portion ($30), which was succulent and moist, although I was expecting greater depth of smoky flavour. The fries, however, were a highlight, with a perfectly crisp exterior giving way to a fluffy core.

We had a Beer Flight ($20) to sample the full range. The current line-up comprises PPBC Lager, Poolside Pils, XPA, California IPA, Oatmeal Stout and the seasonal Passionfruit & Dragonfruit Fruited Sour ($13–18).

For something other than a pint, there are also Specialty Beer Cocktails, in which we tried The People’s Pynt ($24) and Hop, Drop & Roll ($22). The latter, made with brown butter rum, IPA and honey, was full-bodied and bittersweet, with a rounded richness from the brown butter rum.

The Blackmores’ Giant Burger ($58) was a sight to behold, with a short rib stacked over double beef patties and topped with fried onion rings, all held together by soft and fluffy potato buns. The short rib had an enticing caramelised, charred exterior, with meat that fell off the bone with the slightest tug. Made with 100% Wagyu, the patties were flavourful, although they could have been juicier. While the individual components were delicious on their own, the burger would have benefited from some acidity or freshness, perhaps by adding gherkins and caramelised onions, to cut through the richness and make the overall combination more rounded.

[Pulsii] - The Shima Aji Carpaccio ($24) makes a light, refreshing starter. Thick slices of Japanese Shima Aji are served with ponzu and mustard vinaigrette, pairing the fish’s naturally clean, subtly sweet flavour with pleasant acidity. The Shima Aji has a firm yet delicate texture, while shaved fennel stem and microcress add freshness and a slight crunch. The mix of Japanese ingredients with French-style presentation gives the dish a refined yet uncomplicated character, keeping the quality of the fish as the focus.

[Pulsii] - A comforting classic, the French Onion Gratin Soup ($16) is built around onions slowly cooked down until deeply caramelised, sweet, and jammy. The resulting broth is rich and intensely savoury, with the natural sweetness of the onions shining through. Topped with toasted bread and a generous layer of melted cheese, the soup delivers plenty of textural contrast — from the bubbling, gooey cheese to the bread that soaks up the deeply flavoured broth. It is hearty without being overly complicated, and certainly one for those who enjoy the comforting flavours of traditional French bistro cooking.

[Pulsii] - The Lamb Skewer ($20) takes a more rustic direction, with the lamb cooked directly over an open woodfire flame. The high heat creates a nicely charred exterior while helping to retain the meat’s natural juices. The smoky notes from the woodfire add depth, giving the lamb a robust grilled character without overwhelming its natural flavour. Served with Japanese egg yolk, the yolk’s richness provides a creamy accompaniment to the smoky lamb, making this a satisfying small plate to share.

[Pulsii] - Japanese Kinmedai ($58) showcases Chef Daisuke’s Japanese-French approach particularly well. Kinmedai, a prized deep-sea Japanese fish, is known for its rich, fatty flesh and delicate texture. Here, the fish is cooked over an open woodfire, allowing the skin to develop a beautifully charred exterior while keeping the flesh tender and moist. It is served with savoy cabbage tapenade and a dry vermouth cream sauce, which brings a combination of earthy, vegetal and creamy flavours to the plate. The smoky char from the fire complements the fish’s rich
