There are two types
of Bak Kut Teh that I've tried in life, the herbal and the pepper based soup (I
think there are only two types hor, if got any others please do let me know
haha)
I've been
craving for the herbal-based soup bak kut teh (BKT) since I came to Singapore
as I'm used to the taste when I was still at Malaysia. The BKT at Singapore
mostly is pepper-based which to be honest I don't like it at all ππ’
After
long searching, lo and behold I managed to find it (thanks to boyfriend as
well π) and satisfy my
craving!! Although I'm quite sad that they don't have θε (rou
yan, meatballs), but happy that they have δΈθΎ°θ (pork
belly, but if you literally translated it, three layer meat LOL sinful sia!!) I
said this as the last round I went JB to have BKT, I don’t have the chance to
have pork belly (you can find the review here)
We ordered for two pax with two rice (the amount
of rice is too generous that I can’t finish it. In the end, almost half of my
portion gone to my boyfriend so he’s eating 1 and ½ bowl π)
The soup taste is heavenly good (as I can’t find one like this in
Singapore for the past 3 years) so I might be overly happy describing this food
=p We got 10 slices of pork ribs (yeah I literally count how many both of us
eaten) and few slices of pork belly (I did not count this LOL)

We ordered a portion of youtiao (Chinese fried churros
or doughnut) and a portion of braised peanuts (man I love this so much that I
just keep on eating and then regretting it after I’m full cause I might have
pimples on the next day HAHAHAHA)

Why youtiao? Don’t ask me sia cause to be honest I don’t
know but I think it just a culture thing. We will soak it in the BKT soup (yeah
we literally just throwing it in every 3-4 pieces) and when it’s soaked with
the soup we will eat it. The combination of the soup and doughnut is just
perfect =) I don’t touch my rice mainly because of this reason LOL
As for the peanuts, it’s just a condiment too. Don’t
even know the reason why people order this when they have BKT or other dish
such as kway chap. The peanut texture is so soft and the taste is just nice,
not too salty =)
Will I go back to this place? Definitely YES !
Is it worth the price? Absolutely YES !
Cost for this meal - S$19.40 (2 pax)
