Cheng Mun Chee Kee Pig’s Organ Soup King

Happen to past by and decided to give it another try after so many years. I wonder whether this is the same stall at Allenby road many years back. But it seems that there is another stall with the same name ( but w/o the first word Cheng 正 ) at 01-34 in Eminent Plaza.

The chilly is still as good as before. The soup is a little salty and sweet. But is definitely more tasty than many other stalls. The meat ball is nice and others are ok too except for the liver which is a little below standard today. It is hard and does not look fresh. May be it is over cooked.

It is quite a good location for them. Not enough parking space so that everyone will eat and go to avoid 'summon' indirectly create a high turn over for the stall.

I don't think I will give it a five but 4 is definitely justifiable.

If you haven't heard of the King of Pig Organ Soup, you have lose out a great deal.

The name Cheng Mun Chee Kee Pig Organ Soup King - 正文志记猪杂汤大王 - fits this stall perfectly. Didn't our Taiwanese friends always say the good food are often hidden in the small lanes? True enough, that is very much the case for this stall.

Cheng Mun Chee Kee (CMCK) is situated in a humble coffeeshop along Foch Road. If you have problems locating this coffeeshop despite the big signboard along the roadside, just remember it is directly opposite Lavendar Hawker Centre & Hotel 81 - Elegance.

One of the most important aspects of Pig Organ Soup is the freshness of the organs. CMCK seems to score well in that, for all the times I ate there I smell nothing bad. I tried to spy on the cooking on how they manage to keep their innards and pork so tender, but I can't seem to spot anything. Perhaps, I am just not cut out to be a chef.

The chilli that comes along also plays a big role. I have tried stalls which gave me normal sliced chilli with light soya sauce, chilli padi, pepper powder... but nothing comes close to theirs. Sliced chilli with DARK SOYA SAUCE! That's what I call the authentic chilli for Pig Organ Soup.

Not enough soup? Craving for more? CMCK is more than happy to refill your soup FOC. Being a soup person, that is double thumbs up! If you want a refill, just bring your bowl to the side of the stall and your bowl will be topped up with soup in a jiffy. The uncle even told me with a smiley face, "not enough soup come back for more..." As I see it, he takes alot of pride not only in how the organs are cooked, and also the quality of the soup base. Can you imagine that feeling I get for each tablespoon of soup that goes down my throat? Only one expression is appropriate... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... SHIOK!

Sure or not? Really that good? If a top chef in a 5-star hotel gives his full thumbs up for this humble little stall, what do you think?

My verdict? Miss it, and you'll regret for the rest of your life!
