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

    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.

    I'm not sure exactly where the original Leong Kee moved to, but I believe the one at Sultan Gate is still there. I also saw one at junction of Jln Besar and Hindoo road. Just at the junction before beancurd city

    hi! The bak kut teh at this place is Klang style. If you refering to the peppery style Bak Kut Teh you typically find in Singapore, then this is not the place for you. For the peppery style one, the famous ones are probably ones are Balestier Road or the one at Tanjong Pagar complex. For me, I usually just go to Song Fa at Rochor which is decent for me, and more convenient as well.

    I don't remember if i'd ever come across cheap and nice seafood in KL...I suggest you to plan a trip to Sabah, that's really what I call heaven for seafood lovers. ;-)
