While I will not dare to proclaim that this is the best bak kut teh store in the whole stretch of Balestier Road, this is definitely one of my favourite. The bak kut teh broth here is the clear, peppery kind so if you are looking for the Ng Ah Sio kind (herby and dark in colour), look elsewhere. The pepper taste is not too overpowering but one sip reminds me of the pig's stomach soup my grandfather used to cook over firewood. The pepper has been cooked long enough to crack and seep into the soup
At $7.50 a bowl with rice and fried youtiao, this is not the cheapest you can get. But as Japan Hour will like to say, "this is full of nostalgia". Remember to ask for a refill of the soup.
The stall is open 24hours a day except on Sundays where they close from around 3pm to Monday 3pm.
