Where to Go for Mutton Soup in Singapore

"This one's an institution. You'll find a line forming as the stall begins to set-up and a real snaking queue when it actually opens for service. Cai Chuan Tou Mutton Soup has been operating from Bukit Merah View Hawker Centre for over 30 years and has amassed quite a following during the only service it is opened for: lunch. It's prepared in the rich, herbal Teochew style but with a real peppery kick. And the best part is that the soup is refillable. So bottoms up!" - Alethea Tan

One of the GOATed mutton soup in Singapore! Ordered the 3-in-1 mixed mutton soup that comes with meat balls, meat and innards. On a side note, the chilli and soup has more of a vinegary taste to it. Best to get a refreshing drink to pair with the meal. The auntie is amicable and efficient in taking orders. However, the only downside is the waiting time even if you go near opening hours. Nevertheless, it is worth the wait if you have time!

Not to be missed for mutton soup lovers. Been patronizing this stall for years. The consistent quality and generous ingredients and definitely value for money and the waiting. Please refer to photos about operating hours and days, and on how to order for takeaways. Do expect queues but usually quite fast unless those in front orders are a lot or in bulk. My order is $8 with bone and mixtures of organs. You’ll be given straw for sucking bone marrow. They have unique traditional broth taste which doesn’t have strong herbal taste. It is really unbelievably tasty blending with the mutton. Ultimate, the ladies operators are amazingly gracious and friendly towards all customers.

Added (June 2025) GOAT of goat Period. Added (March 2023). Started queuing at 10.44am, they open at 1045. Got my $8 mix mutton soup at around 11.02am. Godly : soup Having tired once at the end and now at the opening, the taste is actually quite different. Today the soup tasted more mellow... At least for the first 5min or so. But after the initial period it is game on, maybe due to soaking of the mutton. Taste of meat ball and meatball Notice they don't have ginger all over the place. Somehow they still masked the taste with minimum ginger while keeping the mutton taste intact. Meat has well ratio of fats and lean meat while meatball is pure mutton flavor. Together with rib they are better enjoyed without chili. Pros: Intenstine and stomach are flavorful and not super chewy, reasonable. Chili is good and goes well with the intestines and muttons but not advisable for the meat. Tendon, slimy so not for everyone but the collagen soaking up the flavor is very delicious. Bone marrow, rare to have the tulang but always great even though it is very little. Meh Rib meat tenderness some pieces were a bit on the tougher side, not the end of world but could also be due to the start of the day... ~ Started queuing a bit shy of 12pm. Waited for 1h almost sold out by my turn. They ran out of most meat before 12.50pm. So I got a 90% stomach and a bit of rib soup for $6. +40¢ for small rice. A few wow factors. There is a live band!!! Hawker centre, live band go figure! You can pay them for selected song of your choice. Wow the size is a lot of $6. The soup is slightly off for me though. The sweet Chinese medicine herb and mutton doesn't match well for me. However the mutton rib is really off the bone tender yet has some welcoming chew to it. Another wow is you can ask for unlimited soup refill! Just bring your bowl over and ask! Bonus for comedic relieve by the lady taking the order... She mentally prepared us that there is no more meat left... Mainly stomach left lol. Overall I am really tempted to have a complete soup to see if tenderness of the meat is same as the rib. Oh and new price listing.

A friend brought me here around 2018 and had to queue up a lot. Recently I was around the area at lunch time and tried it twice: the original one and the one with tripe and meat. The 8$ portion is perfect size if you’re hungry. It is probably the best mutton soup in Singapore, or definitely top 5. The queue is long but they have a number that you can call and pre-order and this way you don’t have to queue

Be prepare to queue but it will be worth your time if you love mutton soup. The soup is very unique and different from most other mutton soup.

Really good Chinese mutton soup. The herbal taste is there but not overwhelming. The mutton was really tender and well prepared. I ordered the $10 muttons ribs with stomach and the portion is very generous. Rice is $0.50 for a big portion of rice. $10.50 is very well worth it for a good mutton soup. Try to come early because the queue starts way before the opening hours.

蛇🐍一般的人龙…took the dive to joining the queue…worth the wait, try to believe! Ribs were well broiled but stomachs still tough…probably reacting to huge lunch crowd…soup/stock tad sweet to my taste…amazed by the 2 ladies tag-team super efficient operations, overall good experience.
