HUGABO (NUH Medical Centre)

Despite specialising in soups, it was the 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗫𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝘂𝗼 that was our favourite dish. The permutations are limitless as there are over 20 items available to add on. The numbing and mildly spicy sauce coating every component made this an outstanding bowl.

The 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝘄 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 stood out for the juicy beef balls.

We also loved the 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗽, which featured thick, succulent slices of red grouper in a milky broth that was fabulously flavourful.

The 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗼 𝗙𝗮𝗻 (simmered rice) is not to be missed. Coming with a gratuitous number of prawns, fish slices and clams swimming in an orange-hued broth brimming with crustacean sweetness, this was sublime.

Hugabo is a chain of kiosks serving comforting soups that are halal certified. Much like BYO salad bowls, you pick your soup, proteins, noodles/rice and toppings to curate your meal. Served conveniently in paper boxes with the ingredients packed separately from the soup, it’s really fuss-free.

Price: 8.80
Beef soup was really expensive, consisting of scant beef slices and cheap cabbage leaves. The taste of the soup was passable although it came off as overpriced.
The "Lamian" was a travesty, costing an extra 2 dollars despite tasting more like vermicelli. I felt really ripped off as the noodles were really lumpy and hard to chew.
Very disappointed in this franchise. I'll never eat here again.
