15 Samgyetang Spots In Singapore For Your Comfort Food Fix, From $6.80

Nothing feels quite as comforting as a hot bowl of samgyetang. This highly nutritious dish is traditionally eaten during the hottest months in South Korea, as its rich, aromatic broth and tender, flavourful chicken are believed to help restore energy and stamina (in fact, Physical: Asia star Amotti is a fan). If that made you crave it too, you’re in luck — Singapore has no shortage of spots serving this beloved Korean classic, from affordable bowls to more indulgent options worth treating yourself to.

Jiho Samgyetang SBCD

With over 80 outlets across Korea, Sydney and Shanghai, Jiho Samgyetang SBCD has now arrived in Singapore. Established in 1991, the restaurant has spent over 30 years perfecting its signature herbal ginseng chicken soup.

Offering six varieties of ginseng chicken soup, each is shaped by a different hanbang (traditional Korean medicine) formulation. For a simple yet nourishing option, the Healthy Samgyetang features a signature herbal blend that’s said to help ease fatigue and restore energy. The Beauty Samgyetang, which ladies would love, is infused with ingredients traditionally associated with skin care and anti-ageing. For a more unique variation, the Mung Bean Samgyetang offers a lighter, restorative broth made with mung beans, which are believed to support digestion and metabolism.

Building on its samgyetang offerings, the menu extends the same hanbang broths into a series of samgyejuk, a nutritious Korean chicken and ginseng porridge made with glutinous rice and boneless chicken cuts.

For those looking to round out the meal with sharing dishes, familiar Korean staples such as Spicy Braised Chicken Stew, Kimchi Pancake and more are also available.

How much: from $29.80++ for the Healthy Samgyetang and Beauty Samgyetang

Fans of Namu Bulgogi can now try the chain’s new halal-certified samgyetang range, with all nine variations priced below $30. The lineup includes both classic and modern takes on the beloved ginseng chicken soup. According to the brand, this marks the largest authentic, halal-certified samgyetang range in Singapore to date. 

Each serving features a tender half chicken slow-simmered for 12 hours with eight ingredients, such as ginseng and glutinous rice. Served as a set, each order also comes with Korean side dishes, including hobak-jeon (zucchini pancake), gaji-jeon (eggplant pancake), crispy fried enoki, fresh kimchi, and a choice of glutinous or white rice.

Among the more interesting flavours is the Signature Wild Mushroom Samgyetang, which combines shiitake, enoki, and shimeji mushrooms for an earthy and umami broth. Seafood lovers can go for the Seafood Samgyetang, where premium seafood adds extra sweetness and depth to the soup. 

Enjoy bolder flavours? The Kimchi Samgyetang offers a tangier take on the classic dish, with aged kimchi folded into the broth for a sharper contrast to the rich chicken soup.
