The secret is in the belacan 🌶 that comes with this! $8
You can never go wrong with ordering anything on their menu here, because you ultimately come to enjoy their rice drowned in their 4 different sauces. I have to say, I absolutely loved their fried eggs and braised cabbage! Truly, a beautiful mess indeed.
Johor-style bak kut teh - the best of its kind! Served in a claypot, the soup is kept piping hot at all times, and the tender meat slides off the bone easily. Love! 💛
We can finally try Malaysian-Style bak kut teh in Singapore! They serve pretty good Chinese restaurant food at super budget prices. Most of their items are priced below $6! 😱 Besides the signature items like Malaysian Bak Kut Teh and Spare Ribs Prawn Noodles, we were pretty impressed by the new menu items like Fried Laksa. 😋👍Do drop by Rong Shu Xia for a taste of the fare. You get nice aircon and pretty amazing prices for the standard of food.

Best herbal style BKT to have on those cold rainy days! I mixed mine with pork ribs and kidneys! Throw in a bit of raw garlic (provided at the side) and some cut chilliest inside the soup and I'm good to go!!
I don't know about you, but when it comes to Bak Kut Teh, I am all for the herbal, "black" style. Think JB, or better yet think Klang's standard (the home of BKT. I kid you not, they hold annual BKT competition to rank their BKT stores). Thankfully, Soon Huat is within the vicinity for my BKT quick fix. Soon Huat, is somewhat like Malaysian BKT and yet somehow lack the strong porky-herbal broth that I like. It is only good, when you need tea to wash down the BKT. Their dry version, fared better but it would great if it's slightly strongly. The meat portion is fairly generous, what's on the table is enough for 3 pax. And those large intestines are soft and well cleaned out with their slightly thicker braised sauce. Great meal overall, if you are sick of pratas and roti-johns when you are in that area.
Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the outlet at Havelock Road over the one at Keppel.
Appreciate that the version served here was not just 'pepper' soup, but flavourful enough to hold its weight. While the ribs were on the dry side, the stellar cast of yummy sides helped to piece everything into a delicious meal. Mee Sua and you tiao are definitely on my order list!
Finally racked up an appetite and it's raining. Well not quite, the rain had stopped but still, it's excuse enough for some bkt.
Opted for the herbal version and journeyed across the island to this humble little shop. And when I say humble, I mean humble. Like not air conditioned and without the fancy furniture. But I like it this way anyway.
It was dinnertime and so there was a queue and some wait for our food. We had actually finished a bowl of jelly bee each in that time. Seriously, why aren't more places serving jelly bee?
Really love how generous they are with their red cut chillies, with two to choose from: the large ones and the chilli padi. We got the medium prime ribs to share and also claypot tofu and stir fried kailan. I don't have much to say cause everything was just perfectly delicious.
Pro tip: You tiao's not on the menu but they have it. So if you're like me and prefer ditching the rice and spending those calories on a different type of carb, you tiao's there for you. That said, I had both you tiao and rice this time, that works fine too. Also, dress light if you're prone to sweating.
Ahh.. Team Herbal is me when it comes to BKT. Thank God for Soon Huat for serving succulent dinner with an amazing social cause! Now I don't have to bear the dreadful custom queue to lay my lip on these soupy delights! Check them out if you can!

Ran by the 2nd generation of Founder Bak Kut Teh, this place serves equally top notch Bak Kut Teh behind a more comfortable backdrop. There's a/c and al fresco option, with soothing instrumental music helping you bring down that pipping hot peppery soup. The ribs are soft and tender, occasionally marbled with fats. The soup plays a clean note on the peppery side, you don't have to gasp for air after every spoon of it. With ample parking found in the area, I'll definitely come back again!
The extremely peppery and concentrated dark broth of Ng Ah Sio's "bak kut teh" was a hit with my Hong Kong friends and myself. More so than the much paler, light-tasting one at Founder's at Hotel Boss that we had a few days earlier. I like that this place also offer two kinds of black sauce for dipping - one salty and one sweet (this has a thicker consistency). Their "you tiao" was exceptionally crispy too.
