I try to reduce my intake of
what I call ‘horror food’ so that means no foie gras, no snake, no dog, no cat
and less shark fins and beef. But the other day, while enroute to some place,
walked passed this coffee shop and die die must stop to eat what it was selling
– turtle! :(. Weak mind.
The last time I ate turtle
was probably 6 months ago and the previous last time maybe like 8 years ago?
Well anyway, I consider Tan Ser Seng Turtle Soup the best in town and seriously
got to try it. So we ordered 1 portion $13.00 each with the yam rice (separate
charge). No extra ingredient though. [the first time I was introduced to turtle
soup by a friend, he ordered ‘it’ [wink wink’ and it was gross!]

Somehow, the turtle soup
seems to bring out the ‘heat’ in the people eating it which is why I think many
people especially the Chinese regard it as an aphrodisiac and why the place is located right smack in Geylang. But
at 2.30pm in the afternoon, the coffeeshop was filled to the brim with families
with kids in tow slurping the turtle soup and the black chicken soup. And that
alone is testimony to how good it is.
