Our take: Tai Seng Turtle Soup offers a traditional take on herbal turtle soup, with many reviewers highlighting its comforting and aromatic broth.

The $24 turtle soup is consistently praised for its tender meat and the generous soup top-ups offered by the friendly owner.

Beyond the signature, the prawn paste chicken is a standout, described as crispy, juicy, and packed with umami.

The claypot crocodile tail also receives commendation for its tender meat and unique jelly-like skin.

While the prawn paste chicken is generally well-received, one reviewer found a takeaway portion to be a bit bland, suggesting it might be best enjoyed fresh.

We think this spot is a good option for those looking to experience a traditional and ethically sourced turtle soup, especially given its long history and the owner's hospitality.

It's a reliable choice for a hearty, herbal meal.

Absolutely love this traditional cuisine. The turtle is bred for consumption by the way. So it’s ethically sourced. The soup was my life saver whenever I catch a cold. It helps to improve the “yang” i…
