Sup Kambing from Bahrakath Mutton Soup King, Adam Road Food Centre

"It smells so strong!". That was what my mother said when she poured my sup kambing from Adam Road into a corningware. She has probably never tasted mutton in her life and has no cravings for sheep meet. I do not particularly crave sheep meat either, but like sup tulang, sup kambing is one of the few bone dishes available in Singapore.

Sup Tulang from Al-Noor Biasa, Newton Food Centre

Literally translated, "sup tulang" means "bone soup". Sup tulang is a Tamil Muslim dish consisting mutton or beef bones stewed in a spicy red sauce with their marrow intact. It is a dish that Anthony Bourdain himself has tried and liked.

I like bones, and I like connective tissue. So when we happened to drop into Newton Food Centre to eat, I jumped at the chance to procure some sup tulang for taste testing.
