Hong Ji Claypot Bak Kut Teh (Marsiling)

I ordered the mix claypot.
Bak Kut was tender, served in mild herbal broth with a lot ingredients.
💰$14 (bkt for 2 pax, 2 rice and tofu skin).
📍Hong Ji Claypot BKT.

Blk 19, Marsiling Lane #01-329

Quite a nice place for Malaysian-type herbal BKT but 2 little issues. Firstly, location is really really ulu and prolly closer to Malaysia than most of SG. Secondly, the herbal taste was a little light and not as flavourful and wholesome as I expected. (And one thing missing was the garlic bits in the soup!!! But it did come with some button mushrooms) Preserved veg was not as sour as I would have liked, but is good for people who find normal ones too strong. Price is very reasonable for the portion and quality, and the ribs are a little tough but not as hard as some other famous BKTs. Not really foodking-good but definitely a nice place to satisfy any herbal BKT craving in SG! 😋😋

😋🤤💯👍🏻
If you're not a fan of white peppery bak kut teh, you may want to give this a try. The broth is fragrant but not overwhelmingly herbal. Very comforting bowl of herbal soup, perfect for the rainy days! 👌🏻
Did not have to wait long before food are served. The meat and the soup taste great. The herbal soup type of bak kut teh with a distinct taste of dang gui which is not common in Singapore taste awesome and would definitely return for more. You’re able to refill the soup after as well!! 👍🏻
Personally prefer the herbal soup bkt than the pepperish one! 👍🏻

I find it difficult to find the herbal type of BKT in Singapore since most places just do the white peppery type. And so I was pleasantly surprised when this one proved to be so good! Unlike the white peppery type that tends to get a bit salty and just pepper overload after a while, this rich herbal soup broth has multiple layers of flavour that you can never get sick of. Plus it’s packed full of goodness of the pork ribs, mushrooms and taupok, it’s totally the kind of nutritional tonic soup your mother will ask you to drink more of, except this one actually tastes good! So it’s a HELL YES from me and I’ll definitely be back when I need some warm, comforting soup for the soul on a cold, rainy day.

Using more than 10 herbs, the broth is aromatic and light without having the overly herbal/ bitterness to it that might put some people off. Besides the tender pork ribs (that are cut into smaller pieces making them easy to eat), the soup also comes with cabbage, mushroom & beancurds. The beancurds soaked up the soup well, giving them a juicy flavourful bite. And if Marsiling is too far for you, fret not as there’s other outlets at ang mo kio & upper thomson ☺️
