I happened to pass by the Kallang area yesterday, and since it was already dinner time, I dropped by the nearest hawker food center to see what kind of food I could find there. Although food centers in areas like this tend to offer similar options to those in other locations, it’s not often that I come across a food stall that serves pig’s organ soup. Since it had been a while since I last had this type of soup, I decided to give it a try.
It’s no secret that animal organs are difficult to prepare. First, the smell of organ meat can be quite putrid or unappetizing, which is usually the main reason people avoid it. After all, food is supposed to smell good, right? What if it smells terrible? Would you even want to taste it? Most likely not. That’s why I was amazed at how they managed to eliminate the unpleasant odor and make it smell appetizing.
The other challenge in preparing pig’s organs is the texture of the meat. If not cooked properly, it can turn out chewy or tough. It usually takes hours of boiling or pressure cooking to make it tender enough. However, when done right, the texture can be phenomenal, at least in my opinion.
This bowl had a bit of everything—pork slices, liver, intestines, and even meatballs. It was loaded with ginger, which I liked because it added a nice flavor and aroma to the dish. I really enjoyed this meal.
Overall, this bowl of pig’s organ soup turned out to be a comforting and satisfying choice. It reminded me that sometimes the simplest meals can surprise you when prepared with skill and care. If you ever pass by a stall like this, I highly recommend giving it a try—you might just discover a new favorite.
