Hugabo — whose name means "Hug in a Bowl" — is a MUIS halal-certified soup specialist that has become one of Singapore's most beloved halal comfort food chains. Founded around 2021 (HUGABO PTE LTD, UEN: 202132588C), this innovative kiosk concept focuses on nutrient-dense, all-natural soup preparations made with zero MSG, zero preservatives, and slow-boiled broths prepared fresh in-house daily. Hugabo's philosophy centres on wholesome, nourishing bowls that deliver both comfort and health, making it a popular choice for office workers, hospital visitors, and families seeking satisfying halal meals.

The menu spans seven distinct soup categories. The Signature Seafood Paofan ($14.80) is Hugabo's #1 bestseller — a rich seafood broth with rice, topped with silky egg floss and crispy rice puffs that create an irresistible textural contrast. Burpple reviewers have called it "sublime" with generous prawns, fish slices, and clams. The Signature Seafood Soup ($13.50) features fresh scallops, prawns, and flower clams in a slow-boiled broth. Fish soup lovers can choose from hand-sliced Batang ($9.50 small, $12.50 value), Toman ($9.40/$12.40), or premium Red Grouper options.

For those who prefer bolder flavours, Hugabo offers Feisty Szechuan Mala soups with beef ($10.80), chicken ($10.80), or seafood ($11.50), plus a dry Mala Xiang Guo ($4.80). The Szechuan Classics feature Sauerkraut Fish Soup ($9.40) and Beef Soup ($10.80). The Authentic Sweet and Sour Tom Yum comes with chicken ($10.80) or seafood ($11.50). Rounding out the menu are the Farmer's Tangy Tomato Soup and the Nourishing Superior Chicken Broth, including a Cordyceps Flower Chicken Soup ($6.90) for those seeking traditional nourishment. Add-ons like La Mian ($1.20), rice, and napa cabbage let diners customise their bowls.

Hugabo currently operates six outlets across Singapore: One@KentRidge NUH (#01-25, Mon-Fri 10:30am-8:30pm, Sat-Sun 10:30am-6:30pm), Causeway Point (#B1-K11, daily 10:30am-8:30pm), Sun Plaza (#01-27A, daily 10:30am-8:30pm), White Sands Pasir Ris (#B1-07, takeaway only), Guoco Tower Tanjong Pagar (#B1-21), and Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (#02 Tower A). Delivery is available on Foodpanda and Deliveroo. Hugabo's combination of healthy, MSG-free soups with bold flavours and generous ingredients has earned it consistent 4.5+ ratings across review platforms.

This tomato-based la mian costs $11.20. The portion and protein are so abysmal that this will be my last time here. I can get more protein from a McDonald's burger than this sad-looking meal. My mistake is your gain, please avoid.

Ordered the classic fish soup at this Kent Ridge outlet. The soup was tasteless, it looked like it was cooked with pure water, vegetables, and fish. Not worth the price.

Most cheated meal. To make it worse, the soup tasted really bad with a strong smell of stinky tofu. There were only 4 slices of chicken. I threw the whole bowl away after taking 2 slices of chicken. Not edible nor palatable.

Ordered the Superior Chicken Soup with Cordyceps Flower, but after finishing the whole bowl, I realised there wasn't even a single piece of chicken. It was like a vegetarian meal; I paid $10.70 for chicken soup without chicken. Will not patronise again.

Very sad and pathetic. Only 3 mini pieces of fish. Will not return. This is the value set I got, which is supposed to have more ingredients.

The soups are comforting and tasty, paired with rice or noodles. Each dish offers the option to choose a different soup base and meat or fish. It’s a filling meal with very delicious soups full of vegetables, meat, and a little bit of mushroom. I got this when I was feeling sick, and it helped a lot. It comes piping hot, so I would advise letting it cool down. The atmosphere here was not great; it's a little small, quite warm, will make your clothes smell like food, and there were many fruit flies trying to get to your food. I would recommend taking it to-go instead of dining in.

At Hugabo, I ordered the fish soup without milk, which cost around $11.20. It was a healthy and absolutely delicious choice—definitely a must-try for anyone looking for a tasty and nutritious option! The blend of flavors in the soup makes it stand out. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend giving it a go!
