Hong Kong Yummy Soup 真之味

Ordered cordyceps chicken soup for $5.50 Summary Flavor : mild Thisty? : no Chicken : good Cordyceps : great Lychee : good Soya Chili : Xiao la Soup was mild. Not much herbal taste only sweetness. Freshing don't feel thirsty after drinking. Chicken is somewhat off the bone. Lao le so don't expect it to be tender but is a soup so expected. Cordyceps is like a supervisor of enoki. Well fungus after all. Lychee gave the soup the sweetness, not sure how much sugar was added though. Dip chicken into chili to get some small kick.

Ordered No 5 with rice for $6. Chicken drumstick with fall apart meat in the soup, come with stringy chewy mushrooms & Logans. Overall not bad, however still feeling hungry even with rich. Suggest to other something else and soup as a side dish. No 1 is often sold out so curious to try that if have the chance. Seen a lot of customers do take away and some bring their own container. This shows that they come with the intention to buy already. Queue can get long sometimes. Just be patient withe the nice old lady

Ordered a winter melon soup with steamed pork ribs. Both are good. Double boiled soup is full of flavour and meat just right. Steamed pork ribs were done with black beans and not too salty. Overall it’s good value for soup and meat dishes.

My husband and I came at around 7pm and there was only a few people ahead of us. The spareribs soup with lotus root had been sold out, so we choose spareribs soup with mushrooms and chicken soup with flowers. The amount of soup is very generous and the size of rice is also good. The sparerib soup is a little sweet and refreshing; the chicken soup with flower is stronger compared to sparerib soup, we suspect that it has made with herbal or wine. Overall, the soup is warm and healthy. Worth a try.

12 Feb 2025: I returned this round to try more of their soups for lunch. We had the spareribs soup with winter melon ($4.50) and the night-blooming cereus spareribs soup ($4.50), and both were quite good. This was my first time trying night-blooming cereus, and it had an interesting texture—it’s smooth and slightly slimy, somewhat reminiscent of eggplant, though not exactly. Overall, it was pleasant. 15 Oct 2024: I visited around 6:30 PM for dinner, but most of the soups had already sold out. The only options left were two chicken soups—one with cordyceps flowers and the other with Brazilian mushrooms. I opted for the chicken soup with cordyceps ($5.50) and the pumpkin with minced meat ($4). Both were decent, but I’ll definitely come back to try them during lunch hours.

Dropped by on a weekday at 8pm and half of the soups on the menu were sold out, so come early in order not to be disappointed! I ordered the chicken soup with cordyceps flower, the steamed pumpkin over minced pork and a bowl of fluffy white rice. Total cost: $10 Everything was super delicious and felt home cooked. Soup was clean and clear without any fats or scum floating around. Cordycep flowers are like enoki mushrooms (but thicker and orange), not much flavour by itself but has great texture. Not sure how common it is, but had a chicken drumstick in my soup, meat was still tender and came off the bone easily.. Pumpkin with steamed minced pork is not a common dish, but this shop makes it well, with mostly lean pork and not much fat in the meat, which suits my palate and feels like a healthy homemade meal overall. Really a great soup place that is tasty and perfect for rainy days!

This soup stall is always having perpetual queue during meal time. The soups were all quite good but a bit light compared to the popular franchise also Huo Tang. We also like the steam pork ribs & steamed minced pork patty.

Happen to go to this hawker full of good food and spoilt for choice. Decided to patronise this stall as it has Michelin and is the stall with longest queue. Ordered the lotus root pork rib soup, the soup was fine and not too salty but overall ordinary, however the pork rib and lotus root was very hard! The soup however was very generous with lotus root and pork rib. Unlikely to patronise them again.

Kinda what it says on the tin - yummy soups. Short queue for cheap, nourishing delicious bowls of soup. Cooked for so long the tender pork falls fresh off the bone. A bargain at about $4 each.
