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

Right across from Boon Tong Kee on the same side of the road on Balestier Road,there's a corner coffeeshop 'Kai Juan' that quietly sits on the corner of the street.And which,I have only recently discovered,is home to Ah Hak Bak Kut Teh.Simple, old school, white and peppery These pickled vegetables are not your usual cai buay type but still, stewed in fat, they were moist and tender.Slightly sweet and sour.Best eaten with rice.The clear peppery soup.The pepper is cooked long enough to be cracked

After work, my hubby brought me to eat bak kut teh at balestier. He mentioned he used to go to this coffeeshop during his school days. He ordered a lot of foods, including the signature dish, Bak Kut Teh. After drinking the soup, it taste good. But the pork is not as good as last time, my hubby had eaten before when he was young. But we still manage to finish the food, as we are very hungry that day.
