Restaurants and hawkers with pig blood curd dishes
ICYMI: pig’s blood curd has returned to Singapore, after a lengthy 27-year ban! The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) approved the import of heat-treated pork blood products from Thailand’s Bangkhla Pig Slaughterhouse on 1 April 2026. Since then, restaurants and hawkers have been adding them to their menus, experimenting with the new ingredient that has piqued many a Singaporean foodie’s interest. If you’re looking to buy into this new food trend, here are 7 restaurants to try pig blood curd at.
1. Haidilao
Hotpot chain Haidilao was one of the first restaurants to introduce pig blood curd on their menu, and we found it to be a decent hotpot ingredient that had the consistency of tofu. It tasted remarkably clean with a subtle, metallic hint, and soaked up the flavours of the broth well. The usual price for one portion of pig blood curd is $6++, but from now till 30 June 2026, you can enjoy a promotional price of $3++ per portion.

Chinese restaurant PUTIEN, a popular local restaurant chain that specialises in home-style Fujian food, will be adding three new dishes that incorporate pig blood curd: Stir-fried Pig Blood Curd With Chinese Chives ($12.80), Pig Blood Curd With Glass Vermicelli And Chinese Sauerkraut ($16.80), and Crispy Fried Pig Blood Curd ($12.80). Apparently, they’re still experimenting with the new ingredient and might not keep it as a mainstay, so give it a try while you still can!

3. Liang Ji

The “legendary” Liang Ji Char Kway Teow made waves in 2023 with their “humful” char kway teow, and they’re looking to make another splash, this time with their Fried Bloody Humful Pig (from $15): pig blood curd wok-fried with tau geh, pork lard, and chives, then loaded with a heap of cockles. If you’re not a fan of see hum, try their Fried Bloody Pig ($10) instead—basically the same dish without cockles. Do take note that these dishes will only be available at their Chinatown outlet.
