Came to try this authentic version of bak kut teh. The 龙骨 was soft and tender. 猪肚 well cooked and soft too. 猪腰 wanted 1/2 cooked but some how they forgot about it but still 👌🏽. Now they have a parking 🅿️ spot too. Overall, good and tasty on par with 团圆 bak kut teh.
View on GoogleHad cravings for BKT so travelled to Balestier. I initially felt the prices of BKT were higher than other restaurants nearby, but when it was served, I was surprised by their generosity with 3 big pork ribs. Because usually other BKT stores give 2 smaller pork ribs. Hence I was so full after finishing the meat, abit regret ordering the salted vegetables which was decently portioned too!

View on GoogleThere is a saying: founders keepers. I’m sure I’m not the first one to use this statement for this restaurant. But this restaurant is a keeper. The rice looks simple but each grain has a good bite and good quality. Now the 3 pieces of pork ribs: tender, juicy, the moment it touches my lips I taste pepper and a hint of medicinal without overpowering the meat or the broth. 10+/10 highly recommended if you want a late night eat or satisfy your cravings
View on GoogleHad this after a long time and was disappointed to find that the standard has dropped tremendously. The soup no longer has the rich, distinctive flavour I remembered. In fact, there are many simpler soups elsewhere that taste better. The dough fritters were extremely oily, almost as if they had been re-fried. Instead of soaking up the soup as they used to, they were just greasy and overly crispy. The meal was so disappointing that I couldn't finish it. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below my expectations, and I would not return.
