Rong Hua Bak Kut Teh

ABBEY: After more than 13 km of walk and almost all the shops are close we found our dinner served at Rong Hua Bak Kut Teh. I have a bowl of lean meat. The soup is peppery and hot which is perfect for my rice and youtiao. 

My energy got replenished after three bowls of the soup. I ate the meat later. I just enjoyed the rich pork broth.

WILL: After a long walk from Punggol Waterway to Rower’s Bay, Abbey, Chat and I rewarded ourselves with a steaming hot bak kut teh (pork soup) of RongHua at WaterwayPoint. 

We were surprised that this is better than the well-known bak kut tehs! What do I mean better? The soup is more tasty, the pepper really kicked-in, and the pork chunks are tender and  meatier. 

RongHua Bak Kut Teh is definitely recommendable.

Hong Ji Claypot Bak Kut Teh – Herbal Pork Rib Soup

ABBEY: It was New Year’s Day and we wanted to complete our Singapore Merlion Challenge. So we headed down to Ang Mo Kio to look for the statues.

We rewarded ourselves servings of Bak Kut Teh as rain drizzled that time. The bak kut teh is hot and not the same peppery taste but a herbal one. 

It is delicious and perfect for the cold weather. A bowl of soup come with rice and youtiao.

MENU

WILL: It is our job to let our readers be informed about the national icon of Singapore.. the Merlion. To cap-off our journey, we visited AMK for the "twin" Merlion. And of course, we didn’t waste that journey in indulging with AMK one of the best bak kut teh. 

We dined at one of the hawker and ordered the famous claypot bak kut teh of Hong Ji. They have few branches already and this is the nearest to our home. Luckily! 

So what's the taste? Herbaly. The herbs taste afloats in every sip of the soup. Distinctively to other peppery bak kut teh. Of course, the pork is tender. That is just perfect to a drizzly season.

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh (The Centrepoint Branch)

ABBEY: After a great workout in Bounce we replenish our energy with bah kut teh. We dined at Song Fa Bah Kut Teh (The Centrepoint). 

I got big serving of pork ribs. I ignored the pork as I enjoyed sipping the peppery hot soup. I think I had 5-6 bowls of soup and then I indulge in the tender meat and youtiao dipped in sweet soy sauce. 

It was delicious and refreshing. Special commendation to Irene for keeping the soup flowing.

WILL: I am wanting for so long to dine in here and I got a chance to taste those famous bak ku teh when I attended Peng Joon's III last January. But Abbey is not with me back then, so no review about it was published. 

We planned to dine at a burger stand, but because of tiredness we felt after our trampoline madness at Bounce, we decided to get some hot soup. 

We headed at The Centrepoint, Song Fa Bak Kut Teh's newest branch. 

Our visitor from Middle East was astounded on the soup. We all liked that peppery and tender pork meat. Dipped that into a thick soy sauce! Yum,yum,yum,yum! Oh! Don't forget to soak the dough fritters at the soup before eating! 

Happy dining guys!

Old Street - Bak Kut Teh at Westgate Branch

ABBEY: After the hike to Bukit Timah Summit, we became really hungry and decided to eat on Jurong East. We arrived there too early and most of the shops are still close. Good thing Old Street restaurant (Basement 1 near Food Republic) is open and they are serving Bak Kut Teh. 

A couple of minutes in the queue and we were given a table. They are called "Old" Street, but they ordering process is "new". There is a tablet in which the menu is listed and you will submit your order using that. I got their Set A menu which includes, a bowl of Bak Kut Teh, rice, dough fritters and soy beancurd for 11sgd. 

The soup has a good peppery taste. I dipped the dough fritters on thick soy sauce with freshly minced garlic and chili. The fritters is not that oily and I liked that. The beancurd is not too sweet and I even finished the share of my wife :) Local drinks like kopi and teh is also available but I stick with the good old soda. It was tummy-filling lunch.

WILL: Accomplished something? Reward yourself! And that’s the reason we rushed to Old Street Bak Kuh Teh Westgate Branch. The place is almost packed and luckily around 5 more set of tables are free. Heaven conspires for us to occupy that! High Five! We perspired a lot due to our Bukit Timah hike but a hot soup will surely refresh our body. 

We ordered 6 Sets of “A”. We are famished but all we can do is wait for the food to be served. When the food is in front of us, that is the start when we stopped opening our mouth for words to come out. We open our mouth just to eat! Haha! After few chomp, then we started to praise how tender the pork is. We also asked the waiter to refill our bowls of their steaming bak kuh teh soup. After finishing our rice, we ordered for our drinks. Then they hand out the bean curd for the dessert. We are full and sleepy. Ha! 

This is very recommendable for only $11.00 you can get a Bak Kuh Teh, You Taio, Beancurd and Rice. 

Kopi Tiam by SWISSÔTEL Singapore

ABBEY: This is not your ordinary Kopitiam. From what I experienced this is a high-end one. It is located at Swissotel Stamford (near City Hall MRT exit ). So like other restaurant you can make a reservation or walk in to dine. You will be given a menu instead of making an order on the stalls. 

I got Nasi Lemak. While waiting, we were served with chips. The serving is big, flavorful and delicious. I expected a fried chicken but their version is chicken curry. Then I had teh-c after the meal. 

It is amazing to know that an almost-fine-dining Kopi Tiam exists where you can have a moment with your loved ones on a "classy" way for a higher-than-normal price. The total bill didn't exceed 25sgd for 2 set meals. I would also like to commend Maricor for attending to us during our date.

WILL: We are really amazed that Swissotel named their restaurant  "Kopitiam" which means coffee shop and this is a well known street shop in Singapore.

I ordered a Bak Kuh The, Singapore's famous pork soup. I thought they will give me a small serving because it only costs $18 but when served, I saw a gigantic bowl with ala-dinasour cut of pork ribs. Ha! As usual I targeted for the soup and youtiao, well its a great combination as usual. I ate a lpt of dough fritters. Haha!

Thanks to Ms Maricor for assisting all our needs and thanks to Abbey for his 30th bday treat!

Outram Ya Hua Rou Gu Cha Restaurant

ABBEY: When Wilma went out with her colleagues from her former company they dined out here, Outram Ya Hua Rou Gu Cha Restaurant. She likes soup and she'll give you straight-out comments whether it tickled her tastebuds or not.

This hawker shop covers 4-5 stalls. Once there, an attendant will give you a checklist for ordering. Specify what you want to have and how many. I dined here twice (Austria's visit and Wilma's) but I ordered the same; pork spare ribs. 

Wilma thought me how to eat the bread roll. Cut it  into bite-size pieces and dip it in dark soy sauce and then in the bak kut teh soup. A cup of rice will suffice but a cup of soup is not. You can have as much soup as you want as it is unlimited :)   

A bowl of bak kut teh starts at 4sgd; depends which part of pork you order. Bread roll is a must-try as well as 4-5 bowls of the soup :) The diner is located at the hawker center below PSA Tanjong Pagar Complex.

WILL: Bak Ku Teh is one of the famous food here in Singapore but only few perfected it for diners satisfaction. 
      Have you been in Tanjong Pagar Port or are you a foreign talent that have a appointment with Ministry of Manpower, why not make a stop at this well-know restaurant? This is just located at Tanjong Pagar Plaza. You will easily spot them as they always packed of people with hungry stomach. 
      Hey this is just below our office, so one time when Abbey went at our office we go straight there for dinner. 
      Youtaio is a complimentary doughnut served, omg, I can eat a lot of this, but don't forget to dunk it first in the oozing complimentary soup. :)
      We ordered two bak kut teh for not more than $7 each and a cup of rice. I love hot, peppery soup. I can eat with rice alone. The pork is so tender that meat will surrender is clinging on the bones by just poking it with a chopsticks. 
      This is a great place for you to send your tourist. ;)
