#throwback to the Bak Kut Teh special set meal I had at @eightcafebar .
It was an interesting dish to serve considering the face that the rest of the menu was mainly western food. I paid around $24.90++ for 1 soup, 1 main, 1 dessert.
Pretty good deal I should say. I read many good reviews of their other western dishes and boy should I have just stuck to ordering one of their western dishes than this bak kut teh.
The sauce aka soup wasn't as thick or dry as I expected it to be, since I ordered the dry version. Also, the meat didn't have a strong bak kut teh flavour. It tasted more like it was cooked in a pressure cooker to soften the meat and the gravy was just poured over it. I had to ask for dark soy sauce and Chilli padi to make the taste more flavourful.
FYI, I don't have strong taste buds but this was pretty bland to me.
Overall, I'll give this a 5/10. Just stick to their other western or brunch dishes to be on the safe side.
