One of my favorite food grounds is the Katong/Joo Chiat area. And recently I popped by for some Bak Kut Teh! Just to share some of my yummy supper pictures with you.
Sin Heng Claypot Bak Kut Teh is open 24hours except for Monday. Those who are interested to check them out might want to take note. There’s limited but free parking for patrons only.
This place has it’s share of praises from various food reviews. I like that the Bak Kut Teh here is not your usual peppercorn soup version (Teochew Style) but rather the more herbal sort. It’s still on the peppery side but I feel that the herbs gives it more character.
They would also give you both normal red chillies as well as chilli padis… how thoughtful!
I was just too hungry that day so I forgot to take my outfit picture… another time perhaps.
Thank you for the recommendation. I have moved to the eastside of SG recently and when I had bak kut teh cravings, I returned to the west for it. This one is quite near. And I prefer the herbal (Hokkein) version–how perfect. The Teochew peppery version is too mild for my liking. It’s ironic since I am a Teochew.
Love to soak the doughsticks into the soup then add dark soya sauce chillies to it.
Oh, I am so hungry now! In China–how? =P
Ivy,
The best Hokkien version Bak Kut Teh I’ve had has to be in KL. It’s oh-so-good but also a lot more unhealthy compared to the Singapore version. I’m teochew as well and I also prefer the Hokkien version. If you are in China, I guess you could always cook it in your apartment =)
