Founder Bak Kut Teh

They say that a cafe/restaurant can be rated based on the number of reviews. This place my friends is filled with celebrity photos on their walls!

A pretty famous bak kut teh place, this joint can boast of their popularity based on the number of celebrities who have dined here. Once you step in, you will be faced with countless pictures of famous people from then and now.

We popped by the other day as we were craving some hot bak kut teh soup to chase away the blues of the upcoming Monday.

First up, we ordered a serving of Kailan. These veg were a tad dry, but one of the available options if you need some vegetables in your diet.

Of course, the main star here was the bak kut teh! The soup was piping hot when served, and had a peppery taste to it. Very yummy to slurp down, or for dipping the crispy you tiao to soak up the stock. You can also ask for more soup when you are done drinking up. We did :)
The meat itself had a bite to it, while still remaining soft and easy to pull off cleanly from the bone..

We also decided to give their Braised Pork Leg (aka Ter Ka) a try. The meat was tender and had an appropriate amount of fat, and the sauce was tasty too.

On the overall, the food would be good for sharing, but not very healthy to have alone, especially the Braised Pork Leg.
Sharing also means you get to try more food options :)
