Soup Kambing Haji M. Abdul Razak
Since 1955, the stall at Upper Boon Keng Market has been drawing a steady stream of people who know their mutton. The soup base here is deep and gamey, with the kind of richness that builds as you eat. It is halal-certified and still family-run, which means the recipes have not wandered far from the original pot.
You can go simple with the Sup Isi Meat Soup (from $6.50), just tender chunks in that amber broth, or level up to the Sup Campur Mixed Soup (from $10) where the organs add another layer of savouriness. Every bowl comes with white bread on the side – tear off a piece, dip, and let it soak up all the spice.
The stall sits a short walk from Kallang MRT and stays open late: Wednesday to Monday, 11am to 11:30pm. Late supper after a long week? This is the sort of bowl that resets you. Call +65 8585 8114 if you want to check they are still cooking. 17 Upper Boon Keng Road, #01-03, Upper Boon Keng Market & Food Centre, Singapore 380017.

MA Deen Biasa
Jalan Sultan’s 24-hour spot has its own gravitational pull, especially past midnight when every other kitchen is dark. MA Deen Biasa is halal-certified and built a name on big, spice-forward broths that feel almost creamy on the tongue. It is equally serious about its sup tulang – the red elixir around the bone marrow is what you come for.
A bowl of Soup Kambing starts at $7, with mutton that comes apart under your spoon. The Sup Tulang (from $10) is the real draw: you need a straw or at least a steady hand to get every last bit of marrow out. They throw in fresh bread to mop up what is left. Portions are generous, so one bowl with a side can easily anchor a meal with your kakis.
You can reach them at +65 6392 2712 or +65 9832 7759 if you have questions, but walk-ins rule. Find it at 95/97 Jalan Sultan, Singapore 198998. Their Facebook page (MA Deen Biasa) occasionally posts opening updates.
Iqbal Soup Kambing
Over at Geylang Serai Market, Iqbal has been at it for more than forty years, and the queues at lunch tell you everything. The stall’s sup kambing is heady and unapologetically full-flavoured – the kind of broth that sits in your memory well after the plate is clean. It is halal-certified and runs on old-school consistency.
Photo menu, point, pay, wait. The Sup Isi and Sup Rusuk start from $6, while the Sup Campur (from $10) gives you a bit of everything. If you need more carbs, the Soup Kambing with Mee at $6 ties it all together. The meat is always tender and the spice level hits just right – enough heat to wake you up, not so much you regret it.
They open daily from 9am to 9pm, making it an easy stop after a morning of market shopping. Located at 1 Geylang Serai, #02-128, Geylang Serai Market and Food Centre, Singapore 402001. No website; just follow the smell.
A. Rashid Khan
If your first encounter with sup kambing felt a bit heavy, A. Rashid Khan at Ayer Rajah Food Centre is the lighter opening you need. The broth here is aromatic and balanced, with a spice blend that nudges rather than overwhelms. The Michelin Guide gave it a nod for the mutton soup with brains, and that alone keeps a loyal crowd coming back.
The Mutton Soup starts at $5 and the Mutton Leg Soup at $6 – both arrive with soft, bite-sized cubes bobbing in a clear, fragrant soup. They also do a solid Mee Siam ($3) if you want a tangy sidekick. It is halal-certified, casual, and the sort of place you can pop into alone without feeling out of place.
Open Tuesday to Sunday, 8am to 11pm. Find them at 503 West Coast Drive, #01-58, Ayer Rajah Food Centre, Singapore 120503. The stall does not run a website; everything is face to face.
Bahrakath Mutton Soup King
Night owls have a soft spot for Bahrakath at Adam Road Food Centre, and with good reason: they stay open from 1pm to 3am daily and pour out a sup kambing that does not hold back. The broth is densely spiced, almost sticky with flavour, and the mutton leg cuts are reliably tender.
Order the Mutton Leg from $6 and you get a bowl that looks like it means business. Fried shallots on top, a side of bread, and if you are really hungry, their biryani makes it a proper feast. The Michelin Guide has mentioned them, and after the first spoonful you will understand why.
Halal-certified, no-frills, and positioned at 2 Adam Road, #01-10, Adam Road Food Centre, Singapore 289877. No website; just go when the craving hits in the small hours.
Chai Chuan Tou Mutton Soup
A Michelin Bib Gourmand sticker on the signboard tells you Chai Chuan Tou at Bukit Merah View is worth the early alarm. This Teochew-style stall has been around over thirty years, simmering New Zealand lamb into a herbal, peppery broth that is far gentler on the nose than the heavy gamey versions.
The soup leans medicinal without tasting like medicine – wolfberries and dang gui notes run through it. Tender meat, tripe, and other parts are chopped in, and a tangy chilli dip on the side cuts through the richness. They often sell out before 2pm, so the earlier you chope a seat, the better.
Prices are gentle, but go with cash and patience. Find it at #01-51, Bukit Merah View Market & Hawker Centre, 115 Bukit Merah View, Singapore 151115. No website or phone ordering; just the stall and the steam.

Hong Wen Mutton Soup
Up on the fourth floor of Beauty World Centre, Hong Wen Mutton Soup has been quietly doing Teochew mutton soup for over half a century. The family-run stall works with wolfberries, ginger, and garlic to create a broth that feels like a warm hand on the back – savoury, slightly sweet, and deeply comforting.
You can choose Mutton Soup, Tendon, Stomach, or a Mixed bowl – each cuts the gaminess with herbal clarity. Prices run a little higher than the average hawker bowl, reflecting the quality of the ingredients and the slow cooking behind each order. It is a short stroll from Beauty World MRT, so getting there is a breeze.
Call +65 9889 8948 for their current hours; they work around peak dining times. Address: #04-20, Beauty World Centre, 44 Upper Bukit Timah Road, Singapore 588177. No website; the phone is your best bet.
Ivy’s Hainanese Herbal Mutton Soup
Ivy’s at Pasir Panjang Food Centre takes a completely different path – Hainanese style, with fermented red yeast and over twenty herbs in the pot. The mutton gets seared first to tame any heavy smell, turning the soup into a clean, restorative elixir that landed a Michelin Plate every year from 2017 to 2024.
It is the kind of bowl you reach for when your body needs a reset, not just a meal. Portions are customisable, and the thick broth clings to the meat in a way that feels nourishing rather than rich. This stall is named after the founder’s wife, and the care shows.
They operate during standard hawker hours at 121 Pasir Panjang Road, #01-14, Pasir Panjang Food Centre, Singapore 118543. Keep an eye on their Facebook page (Ivy’s Hainanese Herbal Mutton Soup) for updates or any unexpected closures.
How to choose
The first thing to ask yourself is how strong you want the mutton taste. Stalls like Soup Kambing Haji M. Abdul Razak and MA Deen Biasa lean into that deep, gamey character, while A. Rashid Khan and Chai Chuan Tou take a lighter, more herbal route. If you are bringing someone who has never tried sup kambing before, starting with a milder bowl can be a smoother introduction.
Timing matters too. MA Deen Biasa runs 24 hours, and Bahrakath Mutton Soup King stays open until 3am, which makes them reliable fixes after a late night out. On the other hand, Chai Chuan Tou often sells out by early afternoon, so you have to plan around it. Think about whether you want a quick solo lunch or a shareable feast with friends – some stalls, like Iqbal and MA Deen Biasa, plate portions that easily feed two if you add bread.
Price-wise, most bowls fall between $5 and $10, with mixed or organ-heavy options touching the higher end. Herbal renditions like Ivy’s and Hong Wen may nudge slightly above typical hawker pricing, but the ingredient list justifies it. Halal certification is clear at several stalls; for the Teochew and Hainanese spots, ask on site if it matters to you.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is sup kambing?
Sup kambing is a spiced mutton soup that sits at the heart of Malay and Indian Muslim hawker culture. Depending on the stall, you might get a gamey, robust broth or a lighter herbal version, usually with tender meat, organs, or bones simmered for hours. It is typically served with bread for dipping and sometimes chillies on the side.
Which stalls stay open late?
MA Deen Biasa runs 24 hours daily, making it the most flexible option for any craving. Bahrakath Mutton Soup King opens from 1pm to 3am, perfect for a post-midnight bowl. Soup Kambing Haji M. Abdul Razak also stays open until 11:30pm on most days, which covers late dinners easily.
Are these mutton soup stalls halal?
Several are halal-certified: Soup Kambing Haji M. Abdul Razak, MA Deen Biasa, Iqbal Soup Kambing, A. Rashid Khan, and Bahrakath Mutton Soup King. Chai Chuan Tou, Hong Wen, and Ivy’s do not clearly state their halal status in the source, so it is best to ask at the stall if that is a concern.
What is the difference between Teochew and Indian Muslim mutton soup?
Indian Muslim versions (like those at MA Deen Biasa or Iqbal) lean heavy on spice, gamey notes, and often include marrow-rich sup tulang. Teochew-style bowls (Chai Chuan Tou, Hong Wen) are herbal, peppery, and less gamey, with ingredients like wolfberries and dang gui giving a cleaner, more medicinal character.
How much does a bowl cost?
Prices generally start from $5 to $7 for a basic mutton soup, with mixed or organ options going up to about $10. Ivy’s Hainanese and Hong Wen sit at a slightly higher price point due to their herbal recipes. The priciest bowls are usually the mixed versions with a bit of everything.
Which stall should I try if I prefer a milder taste?
If strong gamey notes are not your thing, head to A. Rashid Khan, Chai Chuan Tou, or Ivy’s Hainanese. A. Rashid Khan’s broth is notably lighter and well-balanced, Chai Chuan Tou uses a peppery herbal base, and Ivy’s sears the mutton and leans on over 20 herbs to keep the soup clean and gentle.
