Ming Shan (Chinatown Complex)

Established in 1943 and now managed by the 3rd-generation owner, this stall uses an 80-year-old family recipe, stewing mutton bones for over 3 hours.

Their rendition features a medley of 11 herbs, including bei qi / astragalus root, gan cau / liquorice root, dang shen / codonopsis root, dang gui / angelica root, yu zhu / Solomon’s seal, goji berries / wolfberries, star anise, cloves, and more. The resulting thin and semi-clear hot soup / broth takes on a deep meaty savoury sweet bitter herbal flavour.

Garnished with tender deboned mutton meat and bone-in mutton ribs with meaty savoury flavour, bouncy mutton meat balls with meaty savoury salty flavour, crunchy stomach / tripe with savoury salty flavour, and fresh coriander with vegetal bitter herbal sweet flavour.

📍Ming Shan Mutton Soup (Chinatown Complex)
- Mutton Rib Soup🍲

The mutton was tender and a little gamey (which I like), in a good way, not too gamey, go pleasantly well with ginger and coriander~ Generous portion of meat too!

The herbal soup was deep and sweet, sweetness from the goji I believe.

Overall, this was good, feeling warm after having a bowl of mutton soup, and definitely value-for-money!

Would revisit this stall!

Damage: $6

We wrongly assumed a mutton soup stall sells mutton dumplings. Nothing to rave about.

For some mutton soup in Chinatown, you can visit Ming Shan at Chinatown Complex for only $4 plus $0.50 for a bowl of rice. The soup base was rich in flavour and mutton taste really great.
