What to Eat at Lao Huo Tang Singapore: Menu & Prices
When the craving is for soup that tastes like hours of patience, Lao Huo Tang is the name Singapore reaches for. The Cantonese soup restaurant chain slow-simmers its herbal broths the old way, with signature soups from around S$12.80 and the luxurious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at S$24.80.
The menu stretches beyond soup into wok dishes — marmite chicken, sweet and sour pork, XO seafood fried rice — making it a full dinner spot, not just a soup stop. Soup devotees can also compare the Soup Restaurant menu for the Samsui ginger-chicken specialist, or the Dian Xiao Er menu for duck-and-herbal-soup combos.
