Our go-to comfort food especially on a cold & rainy night ... tender pork ribs in a bowl of hot, savory, peppery, garlicky broth really hits the spot. Must go with their crispy you tiao. Love their braised pork trotters and salted vegetables, too. 😋😋😋
This is one of the several Bak Kut Teh place in the area (Balestier and Rangoon Road). Tried it for the first time, and was debating between this and Loy Kee chicken rice place across the street.
Ordered the Founder Bak Kut Teh, lettuce stir fry, braised peanut and salted vegetable. They gave use second bowl of soup from the get go, and the ribs were good and soft. The salted vegetable was nice, not too sour. The braised peanut is nice and soft, large size, but it's a bit bland. The soup is good, less peppery compared to Song Fa.
Overall is good. Song Fa soup is more peppery, comparable to Ng Ah Sio on Rangoon Rd.

On the spectrum of BKT, you have the potent peppery broth on one end, and the robust herbal broth on the other.
.
Since 1978, the version here is unique for occupying the middle, blending both savoury peppery and herbal sweet flavours, an enticing medley.
.
The premium pork ribs are large and meaty, with tender pork that comes off the bone easily, having a savoury herbal sweet flavour from the broth.
.
The pickled salted mustard greens have a medium vegetal salty sweet flavour with a soft crunch, while the braised egg has a bold soy sauce gravy that is best paired with white rice.
