Bak Kut Teh

Was on a Bak Kut Teh spree last week.... Oops, actually only had it two times last week at 2 different stalls... The first one is at Tiong Bahru, just opposite of Tiong Bahru Market.

Initially wanted to go another stall nearby, but that one only opened until afternoon. I had tried the other stall once before during lunch quite some time back. This bak kut teh stall is teochew-style, i.e. the soup is pepper based. At least this was the style that I liked, rather than the herb based ones, so I find it ok. The bak kut didn't taste too bad as well.

Then later in the week went to another stall at Balestier.

Notice the difference in the signboards.... :D

Coincidentally, this stall is also selling teochew style bak kut teh. The soup has a rather special taste, although some might find the pepper taste a bit too much. But I still quite like it, and felt it was better than the earlier stall. Not surprisingly, this stall is more crowded during dinner time, and there were also people queuing. Luckily we went there pretty early, and we need not queue.

A lot of celebrities had patronize this shop, looking at the photos taken with the boss, who was sleeping in the shop while we were there. All in all, I think this stall is worth trying.
