Ah Cheng Lao Huo Tang (Ah Seng Soup)📍Marsiling Mall 阿成老火汤

Ah Cheng Lao Huo Tang 阿成老火汤 is one of the most popular food stalls at Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre.

There is always a long queue at Ah Seng Soup.

This was my second time here. Opens only three days a week (Fri, Sat, Sun), so it is not easy to get a chance to try it.

Six types of soups.

Old Cucumber Pork Ribs Soup, Watercress Pork Ribs Soup, Radish Soup, Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup, Ten Tonic Ginseng Chicken Soup (White / Black), Lotus Root Peanut Pork Ribs Soup (top seller).

The soups are all boiled on site with various Chinese herbs. Individual stock pot for each type of soup.

I opted for black chicken soup. They have a choice of pumpkin rice, olive rice or plain white rice to go with the soup. I didn't order any carbs.

Cannot remember what I had the first time (it was at least five years ago) but I enjoyed it, hence I am back despite the long queue and limited opening hours.

Woah... I like this soup.

Tea colour. Tongue scathing, piping hot. Clean tasting yet full flavoured with savoury sweet and mild Chinese herbal taste. Not greasy.

I enjoyed it.

It's a small bird. Half bird.

The flesh was tender but slightly chewy. Mild savoury taste as most of its flavours and nutrients were given up to the soup (as good Chinese tonic soup should be).

Nevertheless, the meat still can eat lah for its protein.
