Nanjing Street Bak Kut Teh (Maxwell)

A comforting bowl of nourishing pork rib soup with herbal flavours.

This Bak Kut Teh is not your usual peppery kind, but rather specialise in herbal taste. It kinda reminds me of Ten Wonder Soup due to its similar colour and taste. The soup itself is herby sweet, and each bite of the smooth, tender meat easily peels off the bone. While there's nothing particularly special about it, it's a satisfying option for a hearty meal.

To accompany the meal, added a small bowl of salted veg to try for an additional $1. However, I found it to be a bit too sharp and sourish, lacking the savoury kick I was hoping for, although the texture is soft and crunchy. Oh... The white rice costs $0.50.

With an authentic Chinese Hokkien reciepe handed down from the 1970s, and possibly the most wallet-friendly pricing for a bowl of herbal bak kut teh, this under-the-radar stall is worth visiting.

The warm soup has a rich herbal sweet savoury flavour with just a tad of bitterness, nicely enticing. It cools off quickly though, due to the wide-brim serving bowl.

The stubby pork ribs are meaty and chunky, with a tender soft texture and sweet savoury herbal flavour. You can also add other pig parts too.

The pickled salted mustard greens was a pleasant surprise, and among the best I've had. While the vegetal salty sweet spice flavour and soft crisp texture was spot on, what stood out was the thin layer of oil on the surface.

This trapped the heat throughout, making each mouthful seem as if it was straight out from a warm claypot. So good when paired with the fluffy white rice.
