A-One, famous for their claypot scallop porridge, has started their first A-One Bak Kut Teh at The Star Vista. Combining the essence of bak kut teh into their smooth textured porridge, its no surprise they brand themselves as the first in Singapore to offer Claypot Bak Kut Teh porridge.
On top of this, they offer various selection of bak kut teh soup and a number of other items like braised and stir fried dishes. As for this food tasting, we were served 1 or 2 items from different category in the menu.
First on the table, of course is non other than their bak kut teh porridge.
Minced Meat with Meat Ball Porridge (S$9.90)
To achieve the taste of bak kut teh, they uses premium white pepper to derive the stock before combining with pearl rice and simmered in high pressure cooker for 45mins. This is the reason why the peppery flavour is so prominent.
Pork Ribs Porridge (S$10.90)
The same method was used for all their bak kut teh porridge. This taste more like bak kut teh maybe because of the pork ribs.
Assorted Fruit and Flower Tea (S$7.90)
This sweet tea taste like chinese hawthorn which aids in digestion. Good companion for a heavy meal.
Take a look at the ingredients.
Pork Ribs Soup (S$10.90)
A total different soup base from the one used in preparing the porridge but the one similarity got to be the fiery peppery flavour. Nonetheless, the pork ribs were rather tender and to my surprise the soup taste less pepperish when cooled down.
Well, how can bak kut teh be without condiments to go along.
And of course! Not forgetting bak kut teh's best friend - you tiao.
Pig's Organ Soup (S$9.90)
This, in my opinion, is just like normal pig's organ soup with overpowering pepper flavour.
Braised Platter (S$14.90)
Includes items like pork, beancurd skin, beancurd puffs, eggs and peanuts. This dish definitely reminds me of kway chap. Slight disappointment as the pork are not tender enough and other than the peanuts, the rest seems to have not been braised long enough with the gravy making it a little lacking the braised feel.
Ampang Yong Tau Foo (Medium - S$14.90)
Comes in small (S$9.90) and large (S$18.90) options too. Not too sure how close this is to the authentic version. Nevertheless, the taste was not too bad just that the items were not really immersed in the gravy.
Dry Bak Kut Teh Chicken Cubes (S$12.90)
A little spicy with tender chicken cubes, goes perfectly well with a bowl of rice. I personally find that it taste more like Kung Bao chicken.
Assorted Vegetables in Sambal Sauce (S$10.90)
Also known as Four Heavenly King with four different vegetables in it. Lady fingers, sweet peas, long beans and brinjals stir fried in sambal sauce are soft and not spicy.
