Heritage mutton soup stall at Berseh Food Centre, serving robust herbal broth with tender mutton.
Jalan Besar Mutton Soup is a heritage hawker stall at Berseh Food Centre that has been dishing out bowls of mutton soup for generations. The soup is the star: a dark, herbal broth simmered with mutton bones and a blend of Chinese herbs and spices that impart a warming, slightly medicinal depth. Tender chunks of mutton sit in the broth, their gaminess mellowed by the long cooking process, while the herbs add complexity and comfort in equal measure. It is the sort of soup that feels like it is doing you good even as it satisfies your hunger, a beloved feature of Singapore's mutton soup tradition. The Jalan Besar name nods to the area's rich food heritage, and the stall continues to draw loyal customers who return for this time-tested recipe.Operating Hours

Few places that serves constantly good quality mutton soup and at reliable timing for lunch and dinner. I've visited this store 4 times over the span of a month. Always entrapped by the fragrant soup before I can make my review and post. The order is made by a friendly auntie and the soup is prepared by an elderly couple that has been perfecting their recipe for years. The mutton soup has a distinctive herbal taste and the sweetness of stewed lamb cooked over hours. I loved order the mix soup that contains the ribs, bones, tripe, etc. If you are not into organs, just go for the ribs (which is my favorite part). Enjoy!

Personal preferences wise I don’t really like this version of herbal mutton soup but that aside, I can taste the goodness from it. A bonus was the mutton meat were tender and not so fatty as I expected them to be mounted right on the bone and will come with a lot of fats. On a rainy or cold day when I brave the storm to come over here for lunch during lunch break, this bowl of hot mutton soup is the perfect to go. Didn’t order rice or the recommended yam rice as I just had my breakfast 45mins ago, will try them next time.
