Both are solid choices honestly, Madam Partum gets good feedback for being clearly labelled and having bundle packages, which is really helpful when you're a FTM and still figuring everything out. Lao Ban Niang scores well on taste, so if you're worried about choking down bitter soups every day, that's worth considering. Someone in my mum group did point out that both Lao Ban Niang and Madam Partum have repeating soups across the weeks, unlike Hock Hua, so just factor that in if variety matters to you. Pick based on whether clear labelling or better taste is your priority, both will do the job.
