Michelin Bib Gourmand
Koh Brother's Pig Organ Soup received the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019, 2021 and 2022.
As its name suggests, the stall is known for its pig's organ soup featuring innards and cuts of lean and fatty meat.
The glutinous rice with stuffed chestnuts wrapped in pig intestines is another well-loved item on the menu that is unique to the stall.
Since 1955
The late Koh founded the stall 67 years ago in 1955, with humble beginnings as a pushcart stall.
The hawker stall in Tiong Bahru Food Centre is now run by second and third-generation hawkers.
In June 2022, Koh's grandson and third-generation hawker Thomas Koh opened The Pig Organ Soup at Maxwell Food Centre.
Thomas quit his graphic designer job in 2013 to help with the family business.
