Very Lucky Turtle Soup

Walked pass Berseh Food Centre a couple of weeks back, but that time, did not eat anything there as it was too early for my dinner. Anyway, for those who do not know, Berseh Food Centre is located directly opposite the 24 hours Swee Choon Tim Sum near Lavender.

So here I am today for my dinner. When I was there around 6, the place was not crowded. What immediately strike me was the number of stalls selling herbal soup or food there, with quite a few stalls selling turtle soup (one even have a XO turtle soup too!), herbal or black chicken soup and crocodile meat!

Well, I'm not quite a fan of turtle soup, so decided to order bak kut teh ($4) and pig trotters ($3) from this stall. The food here seems pretty cheap, and one decently big bowl of rice was only 30 cents (I ever paid $1 for a bowl of white rice that's much smaller than what i got here!). Even the barley at the drink stall was only 80 cents.

So the price is good, so how's the food? Well, for the bak kut teh, the soup is actually herbal style and not peppery style. Yet it is not served in a claypot like Klang style. It comes in a bowl like you get from your typical herbal soup. If you enjoy herbal soup, you might actually enjoy the bak kut teh. As for the pig trotter, it is pretty ok, not as tender as I would love them to be, but they are pretty good nevertheless.

Overall, the food here is pretty good (I would rate this btw a 3 and 3.5 star), and definitely pretty reasonably priced too!
