 Lian Peng Bak Kut Teh is the new kid on the block at IMM, serving traditional Teochew-style bak kut teh (pork ribs soup) with a clear, peppery soup, as well as other Teochew delicacies, helmed by Chef Lian Peng himself.

Service here was impeccable. The moment any guests walked over, the friendly "aunties" would smile warmly and ask "table for how many" in Mandarin. Throughout the meals, they would circulate the tables to clear plates or refill soups using kettles! (should have grabbed a photo of that).

 A special mention would be the Spicy Sambal Dried Shrimps (SGD$6.00), more commonly known as "hae bee ham". An appetite-whetting condiment-type dish that rings deliciously of the shrimp's luscious flavour combined with spicy notes of the sambal chilli. We finished the entire plate between 5 of us.

 We were each served a bowl of their signature Loin Ribs Soup (SGD$9.50) - tender and lean fresh flesh cooked in a delicious peppery broth with garlic. It was not too peppery or spicy, just the right note of flavour - perfect for all members of the family, I would think.

 Then, the Braised Pig's Trotter (SGD$8.00 small / SGD$15.00 medium) was very, very tender and soft in flesh. Many people disregard the skin - but the bouncy, collagenic skin is the amazing part of eating trotters IMHO. The thick gravy was a little sweet for my liking though.

 Next, this platter of Braised Pig's Big Intestines (SGD$6.00 small / SGD$8.00 big) was a delicacy too. Drenched deliciously in a dark sauce that also contains sweet notes, these intestines were springy, chewy and crispy (some of them were fried before braised). It is an exotic dish that not everyone eats, but if you do eat innards, the beauty of this dish is certainly not lost on you.
