Best samgyetang in Singapore

Samgyetang, also known as Korean ginseng chicken soup, is one of my ultimate comfort foods. As a native Korean living in Singapore, I didn’t have many options for authentic samgyetang growing up, but in recent years, more restaurants have opened here specialising in this beloved dish. If you love samgyetang as much as I do, or are simply curious to find out what the hype is about, read on for our guide to the best samgyetang restaurants in Singapore.

1. MODU

MODU is one of my favourite samgyetang restaurants in Singapore. While it sits on the pricier side, the quality and consistency make it well worth the splurge. The menu offers six different broth options, starting with the classic Hanbang ($35++), a comforting version packed with all the essentials: dates, chives, pine nuts, and glutinous rice, all steeped in a rich, flavour-packed soup. For something a little different, the Perilla Seed ($38++) is a standout. The broth is creamier, with a nutty depth and subtle earthy notes that set it apart from the rest. It’s an acquired taste, but once it clicks, it’s hard to go back.
