Raja Sup @ TTDI

Chinese New Year is over and after a whole week of eating chinese food, me and my mate decided to pay a visit to Raja Sup ( King of Soup ). Owner Sabri Salleh has a lot to live up to having named his shop 'King of Soup' , luckily he does not disappoint.




Exterior of Raja Soup

This restaurant not only serves nasi goreng, bihun, ikan bakar, briyani and nasi kukus but also tasty nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, ayam dara !!! ( virgin chicken ? it's actually free range chicken which hasn't produce eggs ) to the more exotic air belacan perut muda, kerutuk itik and lot's more. Their specialty here is of course soup. You will find the usual sup tulang, sup ekor, sup daging and more interesting parts such as tendons, brains, heads, tongues and the infamous sup torpedo ( bull penis soup ).





Tongues and Lungs...Gene Simmons, dat you ?!




liver, intestines, whole tongue and oxtail





tripe and ribs

Patrons get to pick the parts they want buffet style and the cook will prepare the soup for them. Trust me, it tastes much better than it looks.





huge pots of mutton, chicken and beef curry..diarrhea heaven !






ulam ( raw veggie filled with chlorophyll goodness )





lauk-pauk





piece de resistance $20.00

We picked tendons, ribs, oxtail and ox tongue for our soup. The soup is constantly boiling in a huge pot tastes very yummy and not too spicy. The tendons is so soft to chew and the meat comes right off the bone. For the uninitiated, ox tongue has a melt-in-your mouth texture with an intense beefy flavour. Eating tongue here is not like french kissing a cow as the meat is cut into small slices. Definately the best part of the soup.





Ayam Kampung Goreng ( kfc kampung style )

The chicken retained its juicy moisture and flavours.





Nasi Kerabu $4.00


Nasi Kerabu is a healthy malay dish with rice mixed in a combination of traditional ulams and vegetables such as daun kadok ( similar to betel leaf ), bunga kantan ( ginger flower ), daun kesom ( laksa leaf ) and fresh red onions. The nasi kerabu served here is as close to the ones you will find in Kelantan.










What the heck is that in the soup ??!?








This place is a real gem. I usually come here a few times a month to satisfy my cravings for meat.
