As the saying goes, "one man’s meat is another’s poison".  Having pig organ’s soup may allude to an episode of "Fear Factor" to some, but to many locals, it’s another gratifying meal at the local hawker centre.

I’ll probably cringe at the sight of fried insects or escargots now, but pig organs are something that I’ve been having since young.  At the young tender age where everything is just food to you, you relished them like any other dishes.  Then when it comes to the age of "enlightenment", where you realised they are pig’s offal, you decided in the end that they are still…..just food.  Well, I just try not to learn which part of the pig they come from.  Ignorance is definitely blissful occasionally. 

The sour pig organ’s soup is due to the salted vegetable that is boiled in the soup, hence making the soup especially appetising.  Eating it together with the braised organs and rice, it’s a delicious meal at the local hawker centre that is not to be missed!


Pig’s Organ Soup

Soon Huat Pig’s Organs Soup is characterised by its long queues.  At S$10.20, it is definitely a cheap meal for three.  What I loved most about this stall is the mouth-watering gravy that is served together with the braised organs.  Pouring a little of the gravy into the rice, I could just have the rice and gravy and nothing else!


Rice with gravy

My only complaint is that the meat from this stall is not as tender as I hope.  On the whole, the food is palatable and it definitely justifies the long waiting time for the food, given the long queue at the stall.
