Founder Bak Kut Teh 发起人肉骨茶 (Balestier)

It's a bkt joint yes, but they justified calling this signature. Not only was the lean meat tender and ample, the fats were shiok without being overly fatty. It achieved a perfect balance of lean and fatty.

The eponymous bowl, because it lets you have both the normal ribs and the premium loin ribs. To their credit, all cuts were good. I can't judge the soup because to me all bkt are the same. But I appreciate that here they proactively top up for you, unlike some places.

My experience with Founder’s can very much be described as confusing. The dishes there feel almost as thought it was lacking something, which made the meal pretty unsatisfying. Ordered both the Premium Ribs & Premium Short Ribs to see which would’ve been more tender, but both were almost equally tough. While I like my soup peppery, this was somewhat in the middle of peppery and herbal, yet, it lacked a distinct character of Bak Kut Teh, almost amounting to a type of blandness. The tau pok was missing a distinct braised flavour, and the you tiao was not fresh and hot at all. Not sure if it’s just the branch, but I did think that the pork here had a much stronger gamy taste and pungent smell.

Rate:🌟

Can't go wrong.

On the spectrum of BKT, you have the potent peppery broth on one end, and the robust herbal broth on the other.
.
Since 1978, the version here is unique for occupying the middle, blending both savoury peppery and herbal sweet flavours, an enticing medley.
.
The premium pork ribs are large and meaty, with tender pork that comes off the bone easily, having a savoury herbal sweet flavour from the broth.
.
The pickled salted mustard greens have a medium vegetal salty sweet flavour with a soft crunch, while the braised egg has a bold soy sauce gravy that is best paired with white rice.
