Welcome to Geylang.

Only one item on the menu here — green chilli chicken rice — and that’s all they need. The chicken thigh is tender with a bit of crisp on the outside, served over fluffy basmati rice and topped with a zesty green chilli sauce that’s more tangy than spicy. Topped with crunchy keropok on the side and I’ve got a tasty, comforting and no-frills meal 》$6

Had the Ginseng Black Chicken Soup, it was so aromatic, rich but not overwhelming, balanced with the right strength of herbal taste, which in my opinion, very suitable for all ages. Chicken tigh was absolutely lovely and tender, fell right off the bones.

Shared with my friend, their popular side dishes, the Jade Toufu and Handmade Prawn Rolls. The tofu, crusty on the surface, while soft and silky on the inside. Furthermore, a layer of minced spinach on top for enhanced taste which I loved it and found it unique. The prawn rolls came with great flavours and texture, not dry and oily like many F&Bs do, instead they were juicy and flavours locked in each bite beautifully.

Unlike many soup outlets where I got thirsty after consuming them which required me to drink plenty of water, for Tan Ser Seng soup, not only I found their soup truly nourishing instead, enjoying it did not make me thirsty at all. In fact, the drink I ordered was not touched until I finished the meal.

The service staffs were friendly, quick to action. Despite a full house on a busy Friday lunch hour, our order came within 10 minutes of ordering. Totally impressive. My friend who was first time there, was so happy with the food and service, that he even tabao back for his mum.

I guess this is my last time. My old haunt in my 20s. I ate weekly and was always looking forward. Heard they're shutting and thought it's a pity. But the standard today showed why it's dead. The signature breaded prawns were soggy and tiny. Although the curry chicken was tender, it wasn't good meat. The onion omelette and braised pork belly were okay, but the famous gravies were kinda flat. I'm at peace that I won't eat it again.

Wholesome hearty soup to warm the heart! I visited this place with a friend on a rainy day and their chicken soup was absolutely just what we needed!
Fragrant, flavourful and just delicious 😋

I highly suggest trying their black chicken soup if you like a nuttier and rich taste to your broth as the lotus root tends to provide that thickness to it.

But if you're into a lighter and still extremely flavourful broth, i highly recommend the white chicken soup with cordyceps 😋 they are both very delicious and perfect for a hearty soupy meal ❤️

We may have went a little overboard and tried all their side dishes but it was SOOO worth it!!

My favourites are definitely the tofu and Ngoh Hiang and an absolute MUST to order!!

The tofu has a crispy exterior, melt-in-your-mouth interior and in the perfect bite-size to enjoy a full bite! It's also not just ur typical tofu as it has some vege to amp up the flavours and add a little bit of their sauce on the side? That additional bit of tang to help you never get sick of it 🤤

The Ngoh Hiang is wrapped FULL to the brim and perfectly fried. It has a crispy exterior with a soulful interior, dip it in the sweet sauce and BOOM burst of flavour 😋

Special mention to the fried egg with cai poh too! Bit of salty + bit of sweet and the nice chewy texture is just 👌 They were also extremely generous with the cai poh servings to make sure you get an even taste of everything.

We ordered so much we couldn't finish but they helped us pack everything nicely so we could enjoy it all after as well 😋 (Even my mum loved it!) Will definitely come back again for more next time!

It's definitely not as convenient when it's raining but if you have a car or don't mind travelling for good food, I 100% recommend trying their food yourselves!

Also, loved their homemade drinks and complimentary ice cream after the meal. Was so extremely satisfied 😋👌

Wah I was so happy to see this. I love dory. Such big slabs here. I could eat this all day.

Ee fu mee is one of my favourite food but my anticipation was short-lived. This was a poor imitation.

Hahaha this again.

I must admit, one of my strangest meals here. It's almost caifan, but I guess it can feign as curry rice.

One of the things I look forward to.

Ordered without innards and it was just as good! The braised duck slices were tender and the thick braised gravy was packed with flavour. The braised hard-boiled eggs, fish cake and tau kwa added great texture, while the braised peanuts added a soft nuttiness. The bean sprouts and cucumber kept everything fresh. Don’t forget their handmade chilli for that extra kick! A super satisfying, hearty and comforting meal 》$24 / Portion for 2 Pax

The food at Tan Ser Seng was truly delicious! We ordered the black chicken herbal soup and the double-boiled turtle soup—both were rich, flavourful, and comforting. The black chicken soup came packed with ingredients, especially tender chicken pieces. A nice touch was that the turtle soup came with a one-time free soup top-up, which we appreciated.

We also tried the jade tofu and prawn rolls, and both impressed us. The tofu was soft inside with a crispy exterior, while the prawn rolls were generously filled, with satisfying bites of chestnut adding great texture.

Everything paired perfectly with the fragrant yam rice. To top it off, we were pleasantly surprised with a range of free ice cream at the end of the meal!

Highly recommend this spot for soup lovers looking for a hearty, satisfying meal. Just a heads-up—the place can get quite warm, so bring a fan or dress light!

I enjoyed an unforgettable lunch at Tan Ser Seng Herbs Restaurant, savoring their signature Turtle Soup and Ginseng Black Chicken Soup. Both broths were rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, highlighting the natural sweetness of the meats. The turtle meat was especially tender with a prized gelatinous texture, while the black chicken was equally flavorful.
I also highly recommend their side dishes and I have ordered the Jade Tofu and Homemade Prawn Roll which was served piping hot with fresh ingredients and outstanding textures. A complimentary ice cream for dine-in customers was a thoughtful bonus and the refreshing drinks helped beat the afternoon heat.
Service was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive which enhancing the overall experience. If you're looking for traditional, soul-warming herbal soups prepared with care and authenticity, this is the place to visit.
