Hong Wen Mutton Soup (红炆羊肉汤), located in Beauty World Food Centre, is where I usually satisfied my cravings, when it comes to mutton soup, for many years than I can remember. Hong Wen's main ingredients for the mutton soup are mutton, lamb tripes and tendons. The ingredients can be solely as it is or mix-and-match as desire.
Hong Wen's mutton soup used to taste gamier and more herbal, which I liked a lot. However, the mutton's gaminess is greatly removed these days to satisfy larger populace who prefers lesser gamey taste. Nevertheless, I still like the mutton soup here since I can have mixture of lamb tripes and/or tendons with meat for more textures.
The non-greasy mutton soup is lightly herbal and added with wolf berries, ginger and has a unique sweet flavour and aroma. The mutton soup is accompanied by a sweet-sour-spicy dipping sauce.
The mutton is tender, the lamb tripe is crunchy and the tendon, attached to bones, has varying textures from soft to crunchy. The dipping sauce adds additional flavours.
The boss will usually add two cloves of garlic to each bowl of soup. The garlic cloves have been thoroughly boiled in the soup, became very soft and nice to eat. Most customers of Hong Wen love the garlics.
Note that Hong Wen Mutton Soup is opened for lunch till 3:30pm only.
