Old Tiong Bahru Bak Kut Teh

Posted by CyberTron on Sep 04, 2008 1:31AM
As tipped by our fellow foodie, Felix, there's a good bak kut teh around Tiong Poh Road, we decided to check out the place for dinner today. Actually we plan to walk around the place, as there's supposed to be a few bak kut teh around that area. However, as it was raining quite heavily, we decided to just settle for this, which is located just beside the famous Tiong Bahru food centre.

We ordered the 3 bak kut teh, 2 you tiao, ground nuts, salted vegetables and bean curd skin. Inclusive of rice, the bill came up to $28.10.

The bak kut teh is the peppery soup style, similar to those you commonly find. It came in a pretty big bowl too. I find the bak kut teh quite good, however, the rest of the dishes were average. I felt the bean curd skin is bit thick and slightly hard (I prefer the soft soft kind), while the ground nuts and salted vegetable is ok. I actually prefer the salted vegetables that are like translucent kind.

Overall, the bak kut teh here is above average, probably a 3.5 star. Price wise is alright, though one might feel it is slightly more expensive compared to other bak kut teh stalls.

    Hiak, your guys never order trotter? That dish is very good! And so is the tang or soup.

    I agree the tao kee is slighty hard.. for salted vegtable hmm i find them better than Soon Yee and Leong Kee.

    Cybertron, i just discover a new BKT store... its soup is neither peppery nor too herbal like Soon Yee.

    It;s clayport... distance wise if no car than a bit diffcult. This is at Catus Road next to Amoy Quee Camp

    Restoran Todak (Orang Asli)
    CyberTron commented..
    My last 2 trips there this year was kinda disappointing as well. First time, somewhere near CNY, a lot of seafood was sold out, even the beer! Thought cos we were there late, so the next time we decided to get there earlier, and this time, the crab where sold out! Service was also very slow and not enuff people to serve the customers. Food wise, I think price is still ok, but I think the food is not longer as good as when it was less well known.... planning to try senibong next round...

    Have not been to Jogoya before, but I've been to the Gonbei opposite. Priced similarly to Jogoya if not wrong, and I thought the service and food was pretty good.

    I went with 7 adults and 1 kid, we spent less than $120. I would safely hazard a guess of $18 - $25 per person, depending on how hungry you get. Real value for money for quality food.

    Gonbei Fine Japanese Cuisine
    CyberTron commented..
    Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.
