Old Street Bak Kut Teh (Funan)

Came here planning to have their Dry Pork Knuckle but was disappointed to find out it wasn’t on their menu at this outlet. Instead, spotted a new item at this outlet’s menu - Roasted Pork Belly. So, ordered the usual Pork Ribs BKT and the Roasted Pork Belly.

The Pork Ribs BKT was the usual. The crackling of the Roasted Pork Belly was very crisp, except there’s an unusual taste/flavour - nothing I’ve ever tasted in other Roasted Pork Belly. It seems to have some coffee flavour? Which I found odd to be mixed with the Roasted Pork Belly. So, Unlikely to order this Roasted Pork Belly again in future.

Self service ipad menus, condiments, utensils to solve manpower issue. But the pork is amazingly tender! Actually quite good, but a bit more ex.

The shop's name suggested that I try all - BKT, youtiao & Beancurd.
➊ [Beancurd S$2.30] - was smooth & light.
➋ [Youtiao S$2] - very nice. We couldn't tell how nice it is, but it's still crispy after soaking up the soup.
➌ [Pork Ribs Soup - large S$10.40] - I love the soup, I don't like those soup that is very pepperish. And I received the best service of all Bkt shops. They came to refill our soup like every 5-8 minutes. The pork ribs are so tender you can tear the meat off using chopsticks.

➍ [Dry Bak Ku Teh - small S$9.10] - very tasty and smells strongly of cuttlefish, however the meat is very tough. Pork belly & pork ribs has this porky smell that I dislike.

Good bakkuteh soup with a good sauce bar.
The soup is also refillable but the waiter do not always standby.
The dough fritter and soya milk is good also 👍

A complex Chinese broth made predominantly with white pepper, a variety of spices and fresh pork ribs, the Teochew version of Bak Kut Teh was created back then by coolies/labourers who worked along the Singapore River as they dig into this dish for energy and a tonic for health benefits. There are many popular choices for bak kut teh in Singapore such as Founders, Ng Ah Sio, Song Fa and Ya Hua where you can see throngs of people sweating and feasting over a bowl of pork ribs soup for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. In addition, you get to witness service staff going table by table to refill the soup in metallic kettles and hearing people sipping Chinese tea while eating the bak kut teh. A new brand was recently introduced into the fray; Old Street Bak Kut Teh has garnered a growing following as crowds can be seen waiting in line and outlets are sprawling one after the other in a short span of time. However, the magical broth still pales into comparison with the more established brands. Their only winning factor is in their accessibility as they have opened outlets in shopping malls.
