Ivy’s Hainanese Herbal Mutton Soup comes with a Michelin recommendation so it’s no surprise why they have a snaking queue daily. The mutton is marinated with fermented red yeast and seared in oil to remove any gaminess, then stewed for hours with more than 20 kinds of herbs. As a result, the Herbal Mutton Soup is deeply flavourful. You can also add on tendon, tulang, or have it with mee sua.
