Part 2 - Turtle And Co at Old Airport Road Food Centre

The popular soups over at TURTLE & CO are the Turtle Soup & the Shi Chuan Black Chicken Soup. On on average 26 days working month, Eelicia & Hari can dish out about 80 - 100 bowls of soup a day, quite a mean feat, considering they only started their venture barely more than a year since last 9 Feb 2011. To date there were some TV Celebrities like Fiona Xie who are their customers. 

About 90 % of the soups here are placed in steamers, with exception of the Turtle soup which is double boiled. 

The meat (Turtle, Chicken, Pork ) are ordered fresh from the abbattoirs & suppliers. The herbs used are fresh herbs, and used whole in the cooking process, not in the powdered form like in some stalls.  Every day Eelicia & Hari starts to prepare the ingredients as early as 8 am in the morning, and by lunch time the soups are ready to be served. 

Please note they rest on Mondays, so if you are keen to stock up on your Genki, do drop by their stall from Tuesdays to Sundays. 

Below is the full menu for your choosing before you placed your order. 

They do serve takeaways and have containers specially for the soups. 

Take note they prepare the soup in two batches fresh daily, first batch for the lunch crowd, and second batch for the dinner crowd. The soups are sold out every day, so be sure to get there early in order not to be disappointed. 

Currently  there is 10 different types of soups available and there are plans to expand the menu to cater to patrons with a broader palate. So look out for my posting updates on their menu. 

One thing to note their servings are pretty generous, my order for the Shi Chuan Black Chicken soup comes with half a chicken, tenderly cooked yet still juicy & sweet. 

For the environmentally conscientious patrons, the turtles are fresh water turtles from farms in Indonesia & China that are breed for consumption and not caught in the wild, as such there is no disruption to the turtle population in the wild.
