Always crowded, I'm not sure if the outlet adjacent to the original is a franchise or an expansion to the existing shopfront. Anyhow, they are the same in terms of menu and prices. The newer outlet looked more "atas" and was air-conditioned. The place appeared to be governed by foreigners from China. I would have been skeptical about the service but, they proved me wrong. I left feeling very pleased. Service was prompt. Food was served within a minute or two after order. Payment is expected once

Payment is expected once all the dishes have been served. That said, wet tissues that are not required should be returned to them immediately or they will be billed to you. An unnecessary charge, in my opinion.
A bowl of standard Pork Ribs soup came with 3 tender ribs in a heavily peppered soup (S$6.50). There is a "premium" version of this for an additional charge of S$2.
Whilst eating, staff walking around will take the initiative to top-up your soup for you. Of course unless you stop them from doing so. The soup is best drunk while hot. It becomes a little salty when it gets cold.
An order of soup does not come with a serving of rice. A bowl of rice can be ordered at an additional charge of S$0.60 each. If you ask for less rice, it costs S$0.40 instead.
Yes, now I know why the place is always crowded. The Bak Kut Teh is certainly worth trying.
Whether it is worth the price paid, that is subjective.
