Looking for Bak Kut Teh places?

Came by for a team lunch and this is aparently a really popular old-school bak kut teh joint among my older colleagues. Really bustling with the weekday office lunch crowd and we were lucky to find an empty table almost immediately, though the food took some time to arrive (~10min). Their rendition of BKT would be up your alley if your preference leaned towards the peppery side - this was one of the most peppery BKT I'd ever tried! The portion of bak kut was generous and I enjoyed the lean version moreso than the fattier (you have the option to top up a small price for the fattier meat). Overall, a satisfying bowl especially on a cold rainy day.

This is almost the same thing as the spicy chicken at their kway chap brand. Very deep and fragrant. A lot of effort.

Aka dragon rib. I've eaten enough bak kut teh to know not to order the basic ribs. But disappointingly, parts of this dragon rib weren't tender. Still big though.

Apparently one of the more popular Bak Kut Teh establishments in Singapore and thus there were quite a few tourists in the queue. Ambience was bright and comfortable, suitable for a casual dinner in town.

We got the Superior Spare Ribs Soup ($11.80), with Ngoh Hiang ($10.80) and Braised Tau Kee ($4.80) as sides, and Rice ($1.50) and Mee Sua ($4.80) as carbs. Main complaint is that the spare ribs were too tough, I expect fall-off-the-bone tender for a good bak kut teh. Broth was good though - this version is leans more towards the garlicky and peppery side (as compared to the Malaysian sweet-savoury herbal version) and I would recommend to make full use of the free refills so that the broth is kept piping hot. Ngoh Hiang was bad, with the fillings very obviously made from meat paste instead of the traditional minced meat, but I did appreciate the addition of water chestnuts and coriander. Tau Kee was alright, as is the Mee Sua (though it was served room temperature).

Recently visited this Teochew Porridge stall at Lorong 37 Geylang. The spread of dishes available was wide. Besides the usual traditional items such as braised duck, mei cai kou rou, steamed fish, steamed meat patty, there also interesting dishes such as crispy fried smelt fish ( also known as 美人鱼) , stir fried pig ear, and marinated cockles.

Shared among the 4 of us, we tried the following
Braised Duck - thinly sliced, super tender and well braised
Braised Pig’s Intestines - Very tender and well braised
Steamed Fish Tail - very chunky and fresh
Stirred Fried Pig’s Ear - love the crunchy texture
Hae Bee Hiam 虾米香 (Spicy Dried Shrimps Sambal) - Moist and very fine texture
Sweet and Sour Pork
Handmade Fishcake
Braised Cabbage
Stirred Fried Spinach
Accompanied with plain porridge

One of the few places that serve both herbal and peppery BKT, and they’re good too. Always a Q at meal times, although service is very efficient so the wait is not long. Reasonable pricing for a non-hawker stall eating place.

Peppery is the key difference in this BKT. Very good flavour soup.

Yay! Rainy day just got a whole lot better with every sip of this popular Teochew version of garlicky, rather strong-flavoured and intensely peppery broth. The loin ribs? 🍖 Robust and meaty that are not exactly fall-off-the-bone but perfectly cooked to the desired tenderness!
And let’s not forget the thoughtful touch of having our soup refilled from a kettle throughout the meal. ❤️

Yet another awesome dinner here! Never fails to disappoint. Love the soup of Legendary BKT, Ngoh Hiang, tau kee and many more!

This restaurant's Bak Kut Teh is really amazing!!
The soup is light, the pepper and some spices leave a strong impression
The staff keeps refilling the soup so you can enjoy the meat while it's still warm
One thing that surprised me was steamed rice
The rice is perfectly cooked, making me wanna have more

When weather get colder, you know it is the best time to get some comforting meal like Bak Kut Teh.

Rong Cheng Rou Gu Cha is a stall in a coffee shop near my house. Tasty and peppery with few pieces of pork ribs.
