Bak Kut Teh, loosely translated to Spare Ribs Tea. But what it is is really a herbal soup with pork ribs. A dish which our neighbors Malaysia would like to call it their national dish, but Singapore said they invented this dish. The debate continues....
Pig's Liver and Tail $6.50
Comments: The liver was cooked just nice, not over-cooked. The tail given was thick and fatty which was also nice.
Braised Pig Trotters $6.00
Comments: The sauce was not too salty. The trotters, fat but they de-bone it. I would prefer sucking the meat off the bone rather than just eating just the meat alone.
Salted Vegetables $2.20
Comments: Was not that salty. Just nice.
Pork Ribs Soup $6.50
Comments: The meat was quite lean, but nicely cooked to peal the meat off the bone. Did not really like the soup as it was quite peppery. I prefer the herbal type of soup, but it is hardly found in Singapore.
Overall review: A nice place, though a bit small. A good bak kut teh joint must have refillable soup and this place refills your soup when asked to. A bit expensive. If you want to enjoy most of their dishes, it's best to go as a group.
Recommendation: 6/10 (there are nicer and cheaper options at other places)
Details of the place: 17 New Bridge Road #01-01 Singapore 059386 (opposite The Central @ Clarke Quay Station)
Business Hours: 11.00 a.m - 10.00 p.m Closed on Monday
They have 2 shops, but both are the same.
