Bak Kut Teh is a Singapore invention and a must have when you visit Singapore.
I found the soup of this stall which I want to bring you here very good. Robust but not overly peppery, it has got a sweet savory taste that comes from boiling the pork bones until they are almost crumbly. That's when all the rich stuff from the marrow gets released into the soup. We found the ribs here cooked until it is very nice and tender too.
I also like the peanuts here. It is braised till it is soft and sweet but the skin is still intact. This stall also sells a few dishes that are quite unique. One is the Mee Sua which you can order in place of rice. I personally prefer my bowl of hot Bak Kut Teh soup with a big bowl of You Char Kway!
The unique thing about Bak Kut Teh is the fact that to make all the different dishes, all they need is the one Bak Kut Teh soup! They add it to Cabbage, Tang Orh, Mee Sua and then market it as a separate dish. Another dish that is quite unique here is the Fish Soup, which is essentially Sliced Striped Snake Head fish in Bak Kut Teh soup. Though it is the same soup stock the soup takes on a new character from the taste of the fish. The fish is very fresh and its a good alternative if you want to cut down on cholesterol.
Enjoy one of the Best Bak Kut Teh in Singapore even in the middle of the night. Meetrip fee doesn't include the food, beverage and transportation.
