Soup Kambing Iqbal – The Best Kambing Soup I’ve Ever Had!!

Mutton doesn’t get much love, with many people not being fond of the gamey taste and tougher texture. As a mutton lover myself, I am not here to pick a bone with these people. However, I think that mutton truly shines in certain dishes, and the Kambing Soup from Soup Kambing Iqbal is definitely one of them!

Located in Geylang Serai Market and Food Centre, Soup Kambing Iqbal sells your typical Malay fare like Mee Goreng and even Tulang, but their speciality is undoubtedly their Soup Kambing. A gargantuan stainless steel pot sits at the front of the stall, emanating a spicy and delightful aroma. You might expect this pot to be stuffed to the brim with mutton, but that is actually not the case! The meat is taken out during the cooking process, keeping the meat tender and not over-boiled.

While the meat may seem like the star of the show, I think that the soup is the real MVP here. The thick soup was rich with the characteristic flavour of mutton. It was mildly spiced, with the flavours of cumin and coriander seed coming through without overpowering the dish. Freshly chopped coriander and fried onions are sprinkled on top, adding a nice freshness, fragrance and slight crunch. Make sure to mop up every drop with some bread ($1)!

The signature item at Soup Kambing Iqbal is their Sup Campur ($10), which comes with a variety of parts such as meat, ribs, bone marrow, tripe, tongue and even brains! Despite each part of meat having slightly different cooking times, they were all perfectly cooked and tender! I especially enjoyed the mutton meat, which still had a thin layer of fat on it.

The sight of organs may be off-putting for many people, but I really enjoy the nuances in flavour and texture that they bring! The tulang (bone marrow) had ample amounts of gelatinous connective tissue, while the tongue and tripe were both delightfully chewy. If the organs are too much for you, soup Kambing Iqbal also offers a soup with just mutton meat ($6).

I firmly believe no one does Kambing soup better than Soup Kambing Iqbal. Their wonderfully rich soup, combined with perfectly cooked mutton meat and organs, make them my top pick for Kambing Soup In Singapore! If you love this dish, you have to come here.
