Yes, one must be wondering why I entered a bak kut teh specialty shop and not order bak kut teh, but I must say, I was actually largely impressed by the other dishes they offer!

We got the Red Glutinous Rice Wine Chicken or Hong Zhao Ji ($6) and although the single portion may be small, the broth and the chicken was indeed very pleasant. It is actually hard to explain the flavour of the broth; it is like chicken soup with a mild wine flavour that isn't too strong. Not too salty too and very drinkable. The chicken itself is really tender and it soaked up all the wonderful broth!
