Alison Soup House, TTDI

I finally had an excuse to try out Alison Soup House in TTDI (read: no lunch at home, and I didn't feel like cooking). 

It's also dog friendly so you can bring your dog. And there's a seperate area for dining with your pets. There's also the owner's dog, who packs quite a bark for something so tiny. The place was also adequately air conditioned so that you won't break too much of a sweat drinking hot soup, but I also suspect it's also for the dogs' sake as well. 

I don't get too much Chinese-style soups at home or in life, so going through the menu was an interesting experience. I settled on a chicken soup with red dates, mushrooms, etc which had brown rice beehoon as a starch. It came unseasoned, so there's no worries about it being under or over seasoned. 

Prices: starts from the teens, which sounds expensive but to be fair to them, it's all made from scratch. And the portion is pretty generous, so if you're a small eater you have to be at least famished to order one of these soups. 

I was happily digging in (and I almost couldn't finish) until I saw a hair (that wasn't mine, but kinda hoping it's hair from the scalp) in the beehoon. I pointed it out to the owner, who sheepishly had to bring it back to the kitchen and a smaller bowl came out, sans the rest of the chicken that I may or may not have finished. By then I was feeling a little full, so I had the rest to go. 

If nothing else, they did gave me half off my bill because of the erm, foreign object.
