Pretty good bak kut teh, worth a try. Free soup refills which is the standard in bak kut teh places. This is the clear, peppery Teochew version, not the dark brown, herbal Hokkien version.

Terence TAugust 22, 2014Free refills of their peppery Bak Kut Teh soup. One of the best you can find within the city. But it can be a little overcrowded with long queues during weekends due to its centralized location.

WoeiCheng WoonApril 25, 2013Is totally different with Malaysia Bak Kut Teh. Not all people can accept the taste. But pork ribs are nice to try! Also not expensive, around 10 SGD per person Can have a try when travel in SG!Upvote8DownvoteUpvoted Feb 3
Foodtraveler_theworldAugust 5, 2019Don’t miss this place if you love eating or wanna find Singaporean signature menu. Long queue definitely so don’t come when hungry. Pork ribs soup with Fried Chinese donut are a must to try.

Mark ShuAugust 23, 2014BKT here is a must! The pork leg & vege are awesome! What surprise me was the noodles. When they ask for rice or noodle go for the noodles! Yum

Diane FangJanuary 26, 2017Very good system for dealing with long queues during peak hours. Very organized and no stress. Staff look happy and chirpy despite high crazy turnovers.Upvote1Downvote
Vivien LeungNovember 19, 2013My first Bak Kut Teh in my life. It was absolutely delicious. I don't have another place to compare it to though.. Must try! They close on Mondays. I had the original but I will go back for premiumUpvoteDownvote
Jakkapan SiesongkhramJuly 3, 2014My shared table guy ordered every things as same as I did. He got angry when I got my dish first (He ordered before me). Thank for the professional staff who negotiate that angry guy for me.

Yiling DingAugust 28, 2016Peppery style bak kut teh with free refills for the soup. Delicious and inexpensive. Prepare to wait in line during peak meal times, though.Upvote1Downvote- Johnny WangOctober 23, 2018(3.5/5) Get their basic (first) pork rib soup for the more tender meat. A white pepper "clear" broth that's a bit heavy-handed with the MSG, but tasty, and allows for unlimited broth refills.
UpvoteDownvote - Cheen The CuriousMay 24, 2012Bak kut teh (pork rib soup): Believe d 4SQ reviews, it's delicious! Prices start fr $6 for std serving. Tried d (lagi yummy) premium loin ribs $8.50. Soup was always topped up!Upvote4Downvote
JKAugust 29, 2016The Premium Loin Ribs Soup is good when it is hot. The Braised Chicken fet with beancrd skin is tender but needs to go with the thick soy sauce and chilli. The salted vegetable is not very favoured.
