I like to dream. Dream about the sweeter things in life… That’s how I like my life to be and recently, I kept dreaming of those tender pork ribs partially submerged in a bowl of pepperish broth I had back sometime ago over at Eng Kee Bak Kut Teh.Although the stall is housed amidst the unassuming Teck Ghee Food Center, it’s barely unnoticeable especially with the long queue in front of the stall. It’s like everyone (that I know off) associate Teck Ghee Food Center with Eng Kee’s bak kut teh and true enough, they even end up being recommended by KF Seetoh in his Makansutra 2011.
I still vividly recall sinking my teeth into those ribs. It’s a simple process. Pick the rib either with your hand or chopsticks from the pipping hot soup and then ripping your way till you hit hard bone. Of course, ripping is an overstatement since everything falls out with a simple pull. Afterwhich you tuck the bones next to your bowl of rice and take another one.
Another of Eng Kee’s specialty; ter ka or pig’s trotters stewed for hours in a broth of black soy sauce. A must have if you’re a die hard pig fan. It’s no doubt sinful but given a chance, I’m willing to take the risk and attempt a bowl of fatty cholesterol on! Any friends care to tag along?A bowl of rice to go with everything else and viola! A complete bak kut teh meal and how I wished I’m back for more again. And I guess I have to keep myself occupied daydreaming till another day…
