Founder Ba Kut Teh Restaurant

347 Balestier Road

I go to ba kut teh (pork rib soup) not because I am a big fan of ribs, but because I like all the other side dishes that come with it. We were told that this was one of the better spots on Balestier. We actually had to stand in line for a table when we arrived past 9pm. But the queue moved along quickly enough and we very quickly filled the table with the stewed tofu (delicious), stewed soy bean skins (equally tasty) and kidney and liver soup (divine). We tucked into this with a bowl of mee sua (Chinese longevity noodles). The ba kut teh here is of the peppery variety – light and spicy.
