..I am the gong-kia..
Once I took this hot brewing turtle soup cost me $900..
I gulp a glass of cold beer, thus making my teeth brittle.
Bite a bone and the front-tooth snap..
Got to go to the dentist next day and cost me the $900..

Had my first turtle soup in Jalan Berseh when I was in my mid-twenties, decades ago. An old man in his late 60s brought me there and you can see his face still glow in pink at that age. He told me that it was what kept him going and having fun till that age. I remember the stall was near the road and it was manned by a skinny lady.
The soup was strong and flavourful. One could feel the heat coming up after the meal and body was ready to go war that every night. We started having turtle soup once every fortnightly and even brought our own cognac to add to the soup making it much sweeter.

As recommended by a friend, I went to try tai seng turtle soup at upper paya lebar near AUPE yesterday. Cannot find it and was told by another shop owner there that the turtle soup restaurant had shifted to Houang Ave. 1. So made another trip to Hougang. The taste is so-so, worse than Lavendar Food Court. Could it be different owner using the same name?

Thank you for the info. I think the tai seng turtle stall located in Hougang's coffeeshop is not authentic.
the good ones are slowly being replaced by tiong to cook.soon we will lose all sinkie style of seafood horfun .
so far the 1 at tai chong cres has not failed me every times is go ( only 1 time the egg overcook )
in our 80s, i still got taste good seafood horfun with few slices of liver,few slices of pig stomach.now our horfun is replaced with fish cake and pork.
80s i iike to go OG chinatown to eat seafood mui fan
the 1 at geylang lor 21, i find it very sweaty to eat a bowl of hot soup

Ser Seng is the best right now but price very ex!
I know of laksa stall setup by tiong husband and wife! In future, maybe have to travel to JB to get authentic local food.
maybe ser seng win by marginal because it is good to enjoys a bowl of hot soup in air con environment.
yeah.at least taman sentosa still can find authentic chinese food.dont know if Malaysia also flood with tiongs or not.
