Black or White? Are you Team Pepper or Team Herbal? Whichever bak kut teh you prefer, you can get both the Teochew (peppery) and Klang (herbal) versions at Friends Bak Kut Teh, a new concept of the FG Culinary Group. The pepper broth has the addition of toasted white pepper and simmered for two hours with whole garlic bulbs while the herbal one contains a combination of 12 different herbs such as angelica root, wolfberry and dang seng, and is slow-brewed with pork bones till it achieves a rich flavour. Both broths are available with premium bone-in pork ribs or short ribs, priced at $13 and $7 respectively. If you prefer a unique option with a stronger flavour, Friends Bak Kut Teh has the Lamb-Kut Teh ($16) in the menu which comes with a bone-in leg of lamb in a peppery herbal broth.
In addition to the bak kut teh, the restaurant also has a lineup of fresh seafood and zichar dishes such as the Thai-style Steamed Sea Bass ($15) with the recognizable bird’s eye chillies and chopped garlic, Salted Egg Prawn ($18) and Prawn Paste Chicken ($7.50).
From now to 26 April, diners can enjoy the Thai-styled Steamed Seabass at $8 with purchase of two bowls of bak kut teh and an all-day set for 1 pax at $12.90 which includes a bowl of bak kut teh, braised peanut, youtiao, braised salted vegetables, braised tau pok and rice.
