I was there on a lazy Saturday. The place is conveniently located in between the Raffles Place MRT and Chinatown MRT stations. The eatery is quite spacious and rather quiet on that day. There were just other 2 tables occupied then. The service was a bit laid back on that day as there was just 2 service staff members on duty in the dining area. I was presented with the menu after i seated. I then penned down my orders on the order chit then walked to the service counter to give it to the servi

The service was a bit laid back on that day as there was just 2 service staff members on duty in the dining area. I was presented with the menu after i seated. I then penned down my orders on the order chit then walked to the service counter to give it to the service staff there. I ordered a canned drink and it was served right after.
It followed by the Klang style Bak Kut Teh ($6.80). It was served in a claypot. The portion was rather substantial.
It has got about 4 pieces of a mixture of meaty and not so meaty pork ribs in the claypot. The pork ribs were cooked nicely to derive at the right softness to give it the desirable tenderness and chewiness. I could taste the light herbal flavor from the meat. The same taste was detected from the soup as well. Though we did not order the Teochew style Bak Kut Teh, a bowl of the soup was given. The taste was a tad too peppery to my liking. I was just glad that i did not order it.
The salted vegetable ($2.00) came next. The leafy portion of the salted vegetable was given. The dried chilli added to enhance its taste a bit but not contributed to raise its spiciness level. The salted vegetable is definitely a good choice to give the meal a healthy touch.
The dry version of Bak Kut Teh ($12.00) came last. A good amount of pork ribs and pork belly were cooked with the dried chilli and cuttlefish till the soup dried up. The waitress used the spoon to stir the dish a bit when she placed it on the table. I actually enjoyed the pork belly more than the pork ribs. The pork belly has got a good balance of fat and lean meat. Both types of meat were cooked perfectly to give it a distinctive softness. It did not taste too fatty nor oily. The dish has just the right saltiness to have it with the rice. The rice is served at $1.00 per plate. They topped it with a handful of dried shallot when served.
The total bill is exclusive of GST and Service Charge.
There is an on-going promotion of 10% off of total bill is paid by credits cards from Maybank.It was an enjoyable lunch.
