Our take: Lao Er Herbal Soup, also known as Ah Er Soup, operates within FM Food Master and offers double-boiled soups.

We note a recurring theme of inconsistency in quality and portioning, particularly with the lotus root soup, which some customers found to contain very few pieces for its $7.10 price point.

There are also concerns about the freshness and taste of the soups, with one reviewer describing an "awful" smell and taste, suggesting spoilage or cross-contamination.

While some patrons appreciate the taste and portion size, others have experienced issues like olive rice appearing to be mixed with plain rice or scraped from the bottom of the pot.

We acknowledge that the establishment has reportedly improved its oiliness based on customer feedback, but the overall sentiment points to a need for more consistent quality control and transparency.

Best for those who enjoy double-boiled soups and are willing to overlook potential inconsistencies.

We'd recommend trying it during off-peak hours to potentially avoid end-of-day supply issues.

What customers say

Customer sentiment for Lao Er Herbal Soup is mixed, with many appreciating the tasty soup and good portion sizes for the price, especially for double-boiled options.

However, significant concerns exist regarding food quality, including issues with olive rice appearing mixed with plain rice, and some soups having an off-putting smell or taste like mutton when they shouldn't.

There are also complaints about inconsistent quality over time and perceived poor value, such as minimal lotus root in a requested vegetarian soup.

The soup used to be quite oily. It's better now. If F&B entities do not heed customers' feedbacks e.g. via this channel or others, it won't be long will close shop. The one near boon lay shopping cent…
