Non-dairy milk drinks are few and far between in Singapore. The matcha oat milk latte at brother bird is the best I’ve had in Singapore, with a steep price to match. It’s 6.50 for a latte, and you need to add one dollar to make it iced and another dollar to swap to oat milk.


The matcha quality is excellent and the drink is silky, rich and robust. But 8.50 for a latte is steep… Will be coming back occasionally when my matcha cravings peak and if I can not find a suitable, cheaper alternative.

I used to come here very often with my family and hadn’t been for some time. I recently went again and we ordered the pork liver bak kut teh, fish maw bak kut teh, you tiao, tau pok, bean curd skin, mushrooms, egg and xiao bai cai. (My family members are pescatarian, hence the majority veg dishes.)

Everything was good. Not great, but good. The liver was good and not 腥. You tiao could have been fresher, but served its purpose to soak up the soup. Veg options were decent and as expected.

The soup doesn’t have the same peppery bite that it used to have, although the flavour was still well developed. It’s not quite what it once was, but I will return for the classic bak kut teh flavours and no-frills experience.
