15 Great Spots For Comforting Pig's Organ Soup In Singapore
Including a stall that's been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand for multiple years
By guoxiongho -
When it comes to Teochew food, dishes such as braised duck, soon kueh and orh nee (yam's paste) first come to mind. But another equally hearty dish from the Chinese dialect group is the pig's organ soup. Though the dish sounds deceptively simple, it can be difficult to execute well. For starters, the pig's offals, such as the liver, kidney, and intestines have to be washed thoroughly to remove any gamey off-putting stench. The broth then needs to balance the umami of the protein with other herbs and pepper added to make the comforting soup. Ahead are 15 hawker stalls that have mastered the dish and are ready to serve you a bowl of comforting pig's organ soup.
Koh Brother Pig's Organ Soup
Fans of pig’s organ soup would find Koh Brother Pig's Organ Soup a familiar name. After all, the family-run business has been around since its inception in 1955 by Koh Kee Teo before being managed by third-generation owners. Awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand for multiple years, Koh Brother has since expanded beyond its Tiong Bahru Market location to Jurong West so that west-siders can have a taste of its light and clear broth with tender pork slices, pig’s stomach, liver, pork balls, and salted vegetables. Prices start from $5.
Koh Brother Pig’s Organ Soup is at #02-29 Tiong Bahru Food Centre, 30 Seng Poh Road, Singapore 168898, and 496 Jurong West Street 41, Singapore 640496. Visit its Facebook page for more information.
Authentic Mun Chee Kee King of Pig’s Organ Soup
There are two hawker stalls with similar names selling pig’s organ soup — Authentic Mun Chee Kee King of Pig’s Organ Soup and the next on the list, Cheng Mun Chee Kee. Both of them originated from the same family before branching out. The former, Authentic Mun Chee Kee, is headed by David and Derek Tan and they claim to have worked with the original founder, Uncle Mun Chee who created the recipe in 1973, before acquiring the business in 2013. The broth here is comparatively lighter and more refreshing in flavour, with a generous portion of ingredients. The soup is also refillable. Prices start from $5.
Authentic Mun Chee Kee King of Pig’s Organ Soup is at 65 Maude Rd, Singapore 208347. Visit its Facebook for more information.
Cheng Mun Chee Kee Pig Organ Soup
Cheng Mun Chee Kee Pig Organ Soup is just a few minutes walk from the previous entrant, who shares a similar name. This means you can easily try both on the same day and decide on your favourite. The broth at Cheng Mun Chee Kee is punchier and more peppery, making it good to warm up on a cold, rainy day. Both stalls also serve other dishes, such as Vinegar Pork Trotters and Salted Fish Steamed Minced Meat, to complete the meal. Prices start from $5.
Cheng Mun Chee Kee Pig Organ Soup is at 24 Foch Road, Singapore 209263.
Soon Huat Pig's Organ Soup
Soon Huat Pig's Organ Soup is another reason to head to the popular Serangoon Garden Market & Food Centre. There’s usually a long line of people queueing to score a bowl of its tangy pig’s organ soup accented with preserved vegetables, tomato slices, and fried garlic oil. The family-owned hawker stall also serves braised proteins such as pig’s intestines and trotters. PS: Don’t skip out on the chilli. Prices start from $4.50.
Soon Huat Pig’s Organ Soup is at #01-42 Serangoon Garden Market, 49A Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555945.
Ah Keat Pig’s Organ Soup and Kway Chap
Having been in the same coffee shop for over 30 years, Ah Keat Pig’s Organ Soup and Kway Chap remains popular among the nearby residents for its two namesake dishes — pig’s organ soup and kway chap. Both are flavourful, with the former being on the lighter side and the latter having a slight herbal and sweet note. Either way, you can fulfil two cravings at once at Ah Keat. The pig’s organ soup is priced at $4.50.
Ah Keat Pig’s Organ Soup and Kway Chap are at 211 Marsiling Cres, Singapore 730211 and 233 Yishun Street 21, Singapore 760233.
Ri Tao Fu Teochew Pig Organ Soup
Good food is often elusive and requires some effort to find. This is the case for Ri Tao Fu Teochew Pig Organ Soup, located up a small hill at the Jalan Kukoh Food Centre. The stall is now headed by second-generation owner Tan Jo Huak, who took over the reins from his father over 40 years ago. He continues to serve bowls of robust flavour-packed pig’s organ soup tinged with preserved vegetables and braised meats. Don't skip on the tasty homemade chilli sauce, too. Prices start from $5.
Ri Tao Fu Teochew Pig Organ Soup is at 1 Jalan Kukoh, #01-11 Jalan Kukoh Food Centre, Singapore 161001.
Aik Kee Haslet Soup
If you love your pig’s organ soup to be peppery and punchy in flavour, almost akin to the peppery-style bak kut teh, head to Aik Kee Haslet Soup. The menu at the nondescript stall is straightforward — pig’s organ soup and ngoh hiang — both of which are fan favourites in the food centre. Prices start from $5.
Aik Kee Haslet Soup is at 117 Aljunied Ave 2, Geylang East Centre Market & Food Centre, Singapore 380117.
Jia Jia Xing Pig's Organ Soup
After an invigorating walk along the adjacent Lower Peirce Reservoir Park, head to Jia Jia Xing Pig’s Organ Soup to rest your feet and refuel.

Say Seng Cooked Food
Say Seng Cooked Food is located near Bugis MRT and adjacent to the Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple. The stall is easy to find, thanks to the long queues that form, and only serves two dishes — Pig’s Organ Soup and Braised Pork. The former comes with a tangy, peppery and porky broth while the latter is equally popular. Fun fact: It used to be made with wild boar before it was banned.
Say Seng Cooked Food is at 270 Queen Street, #01-92 Albert Centre, Singapore 180270.
Seng Kee Black Chicken Herbal Soup
Seng Kee Black Chicken Herbal Soup is a well-known dinner and supper spot near Kembangan MRT. While the brand, founded in the 1970s, names the Black Chicken Herbal Soup in its signboard, the Kidney Mee Sua is likely the best-selling item on the menu. The dish comprises herbal and slightly peppery broth with mee sua and kidney. But if you want regular pig’s organ soup, Seng Kee has it too, alongside an extensive menu of zi char dishes.
Seng Kee Black Chicken Herbal Soup is at 475 Changi Road, Singapore 419892 and 511 Bedok North Street 3, #01-31/32, Singapore 460511. Visit its Facebook for more information.
Wen Ji Jalan Besar Pig Organ's Soup
Wen Ji Jalan Besar Pig Organ's Soup is located inside BK Eating House in Tampines. Opened in December 2023, the hawker stall was started by Madam Huang. She was previously the head chef at Cheng Mun Chee Kee Pig Organ Soup for 25 years before striking out alone, and learnt from the late founder himself. Besides pig’s organ soup, Wen Ji also serves braised meat dishes like Braised Meat Rice and Vinegar Pig’s Trotters. Prices start from $4.80.
Wen Ji Jalan Besar Pig Organ's Soup is at 824 Tampines Street 81, Singapore 520824.
Sin Xiang Kee
Sin Xiang Kee opened relatively recently, in November 2023, after the revamp of Beauty World Food Centre.

You can tuck into various braised meats. Prices start from $4.30.
Sin Xiang Kee is at 144 Upper Bukit Timah Rd, #04-59 Beauty World Food Centre, Singapore 588177.
Kelantan Kway Chap Pig’s Organ Soup
As the name suggests, Kelantan Kway Chap Pig’s Organ Soup focuses on its two namesake dishes. Perhaps this focus has led the hawker stall in Berseh Food Centre to receive the Michelin Bib Gourmand commendation multiple times, especially for its kway chap. Yet, you wouldn’t want to give its peppery pig’s organ soup a miss. Prices start from $4.50.
Kelantan Kway Chap is at 166 Jalan Besar, #02-39 Berseh Food Centre, Singapore 208877.
Heng Heng Pig’s Organ Fish Soup
Situated in Circuit Road Food Centre, it's also all in the name at Heng Heng Pig’s Organ Fish Soup. While pig’s organ soup and fish soup might seem like totally different dishes, they are both made Teochew-style here, with the former boasting a lighter, less peppery broth.
Heng Heng Pig’s Organ Fish Soup is at 79 Circuit Rd, #01-41 Circuit Road Market & Food Centre, Singapore 370079.
Zheng Zhi Wen Ji Pig's Organ Soup

The broth isn’t peppery but is loaded with salted vegetables and tofu for a cleaner taste. The pig’s organ soup is priced at $5.50.
