I came across the mention of this stall (#02-137 Chinatown Food Centre, 335 Smith Street) online and was intrigued. We visited. What they were essentially doing was daikon base pork soup with various ingredients of choice. Apparently this dish was the result of scraps of recollection from the proprietor and skills from his wife, a Vietnamese. A quintessential representative if one thought of it, of migrant food that found it's place into the heart of local flavour just like everything else we've been used to treating as Singaporean food.
But I've digressed.
We got a bowl of pork organs bowl which was the offal option. Liver, stomach, heart, skin, small intestines (小肠) and we topped that up with some tongue and their unique looking egg sausage which tasted like how it sounded. I liked the combination of flavour from the porcine quality in the broth, which wasn't too heavy, that was also rounded up with the sweetness of the radish. It's a different enough flavour profile from the regular pig's organ soup and yet not so far apart to be unrecognizable. Portions were pretty generous. Will come back.
