Bak Kut Teh (SGD $6.50) @ Nanjing Street Bak Kut Teh. . With an authentic Chinese Hokkien reciepe handed down from the 1970s, and possibly the most wallet-friendly pricing for a bowl of herbal bak kut teh, this under-the-radar stall is worth visiting. . The warm soup has a rich herbal sweet savoury flavour with just a tad of bitterness, nicely enticing. It cools off quickly though, due to the wide-brim serving bowl. . The stubby pork ribs are meaty and chunky, with a tender soft texture and sweet savoury herbal flavour. You can also add other pig parts too. . The pickled salted mustard greens was a pleasant surprise, and among the best I've had. While the vegetal salty sweet spice flavour and soft crisp texture was spot on, what stood out was the thin layer of oil on the surface. . This trapped the heat throughout, making each mouthful seem as if it was straight out from a warm claypot. So good when paired with the fluffy white rice.
View on GoogleOrdered a Bah Kut Teh with bowl of rice for $6.50. The star of the show is rightly the pork. Tender, fall off the bone and juicy but not loosing its texture. ba Ku teh is the medicinal kind, but well balanced neither overly garlicky or too strong in medicinal flavours, but nothing particularly stands out either. Chopped chillies not particularly spicy. Good for a protein rich but light meal. Great for Keto without the rice.
View on GoogleWent early so there's no q. Soup is lukewarm, not salty n pork ribs r tough, not d type where meat is tender n slides off d bones easily. Picture shows small soup $5 dough fritter 50 cts peanut $1 mianxian $1. Can feel d inflation eventhough this portion is bigger than what I can stomach. Stall is run by an old couple n daughter, who's rather "stern".
View on GoogleI ordered the $5 mixed pork soup + $0.50 rice. They serve the herbal soup type and it was very good 👍. Refillable too. Very surprised that there is no queue for a delicious bowl of soup and is wallet friendly.
View on GoogleBest herbal bak kut teh. It’s savory sweet with a hint of bitterness (from the chinese medicine herbs used to brew the soup). The pork ribs are so tender fall off the bones too. But need to check if it’s boiling a long time (otherwise if you order too early it might still be chewy/not done). I always get it with you tiao to dip in the soup. But seems like others are recommending the pickled vegetables too. The bak kut teh can be spiced nicely with the sliced birds eye chilies in sweet & salty soy sauce. Then eating it all together with the fluffy white rice (they serve good rice unlike some hawker stores I’ve been to where it was either mushy or musty). Price is pretty competitive considering the labor that Grandma & Grandpa owners put into the food. All at $6 (bak kut teh ribs soup only is $5, rice is $0.5, you tiao is $0.5).
