"Bak Kut Teh" (Rib Soup) is an interesting dish originally from Fu-Jian area in China. It may looks simple, pork ribs cooked with tons of garlic and spices, the composition of the spices and the amount does make a difference. I have tried Bak Kut Teh in several places in China Town and in other places when I visited Singapore,... More

I tried Ng Ah Sio and Founder before, Song Fa soup definitely less peppery than the other two. But I noticed they choose to put more garlic in the soup for aroma. Still among the one you should try if you visit Singapore, but for me, next time I will have my bak kut teh elsewhere.

You can tell how good this place is by the long queue, almost evey evening, from 7pm to very late at night. The soup is yummy (and you can request refills). In addition to different types of pork ribs, they also have chicken feet, intestines, pig trotters, etc, making this a great place for family outings. Service is swift. A... More

The service is pretty good and though crowded, staffs are always on the look for tables to be cleaned and cleared, and you will be seated in no time. most of the time, the meat served is tender and chewy, and love their wide...

My taste for Bak Kut Teh can be a little more demanding probably because my late father used to cook home made ones and it's one of the best. This one for me is so so and I don't understand why it's so popular. Same story for the one voted tops at Havelock Road. Maybe it's the reasonable price. The... More
