<![CDATA[BEST of BAK KUT TEH]]>Here is what I have gathered for the BEST BAK KUT TEH in Singapore. I have personally tried 1, 2, 4 and 7 and I like all of them. After trying them I don’t feel like eating those bak kut teh from normal foodcourt or coffee shop. Now I’m a BAK KUT TEH Lover.


1. Ng Ah Sio Pork Ribs Soup Eating House
208 Rangoon Road
Also order the sh*take mushrooms, quick blanched kidney and spinach soup. These folks are synonymous with the blessings of bak kut teh.

2. Rong Chen Bak Kut Teh
Blk 22 Sin Ming Road, Eng Hup Ho Hup Coffeshop
The boss of many "disciplines" that hv ventured on their own. His pig trotters (ter ka) is dangerously addictive. Remember to order the kungfu tea set to complete the meal.

3. Joo Siah Bak Kut Teh
Blk 347 Jurong East Ave 1 #01-220/221
Cook learnt his craft from relatives at Rong Chen 20 years ago.

4. Founder Rou Gu Cha Cafeteria
347 Balestier Road
Very spicy and peppery with little herbal taste.

5. Ah Peng Bak Kut Teh
3 Seng Poh Road, Soon Soon Huat Eating House
Good teochew style. Ter ka so so only.

6. Leong (Klang) Bak Kut Teh
269 Geylang Road, Cheng Cheng Eating House
A robust KL dark herbal version. Sell offals and mutton versions too.

7. Outram Park Ya Hua Rou Gu Cha
7 Keppel Road #01-05/07 PSA Tanjong Pagar Complex
From the famous old Outram Park blocks. Very crowded on weekends. The ladies are from a family of bak kut teh specialists.

I prefer the traditional coffee shop types, but if I am in that mall and am too lazy to drive elsewhere, this is quite a good option.

Collagen Herbal Bak Kut Teh .... For those who love herbal will love their soup.. Their soup based is rich because of the collagen soup based and herbal because of the 10 herbs..

I tried their Pork Ribs Hotpot. I love the herbal taste and the best collagen :boogie: The herbal taste is different from Singapore Herbal Bak Kut Teh.

You know what? The best part, NO MSG, NO SOYA.

They have seafood Collagen Herbal Hotpot for those who don't take pork ribs and vegetable Mushroom Collagen Herbal for those who don't take meat and seafood.

Below is their address:

CollagenPot
27, West Coast Highway #01-10 Singapore 117867

(Is opposite Haw Par Villa, 2 mins walk from Haw Par Villa MRT - circle line)

The pre-packed ones contain too much salt for our liking. Adding more water dilutes the taste. Any tried n tested recipes? Thanks for sharing!

Yes, found Outram Park Ya Hua Rou Gu Cha overcharge. Can't even provide receipt. So disappointed. After 2nd visit, dun even bother to go near.

You'll be glad to know that Ya Hua is finally giving proper receipts now, w/o asking. 😄 Their BKT is also up by $1 to $6, I think this is to make up for their shortfall in \"miscalculations\" and cannot anyhow hatam liao. 😢

Rochor Centre BKT ok but don''t order the kidney as they don't seem to clean it thoroughly enough.

Finally found it !!

Yes, they are formerly from Blanco Court. They told me they shifted here for 10 years already !! OMG, I have missed this BKT for 10 years :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:
[quote]The BKT at Cactus Rd is nicer. Faces the car park at the back. [/quote]If it is nicer then must try. Btw, where is Cactus Road ?

Thanks

... However, do be careful of overcharging at Ya Hua. We were there twice in Dec 09, ordered exactly the same food and paid to the same young man but our 2nd visit costs about $5 more! When we asked him for a breakdown, he then gave an impatient look and started rattling off hoping that we'll let it pass. At the 3rd recount, he finally admitted the overcharging. :rant:

No food is good enough to overlook dishonesty. JMHO.

7. Outram Park Ya Hua Rou Gu Cha

7 Keppel Road #01-05/07 PSA Tanjong Pagar Complex
From the famous old Outram Park blocks. Very crowded on weekends. The ladies are from a family of bak kut teh specialists.

very crowded on working days lunch time too and slightly expensive. I loved their soup and best of all, they kept coming to top it up.

And if you are lucky, you may spot some celebrities.

The service at Ya Hua is much better than Ng Ah Sio, where the hot soup is happily top up by their staff.

The BKT at Cactus Rd is nicer. Faces the car park at the back. The one in the kopitiam in Blk 123 or 122 Yishun St 11 is nice too.
