In this video I ate bak kut teh in Singapore at Outram Park Yahua Rou Gu Cha. Get more details here: Bak kut teh, which literally translates to meat bone tea, is a common dish in Singapore and Malaysia that includes pork bones which are boiled in a herbal medley of spices. Although one may think that tea is somehow used for the cooking of the meat, from what I read, the recipe actually doesnt include any tea, but it got its name because youre supposed to drink strong tea along with eating the meat to clean the grease. There are quite a few restaurants to eat bak kut teh in Singapore, but due to my location I decided to go to a place called Outram Park Yahua Rou Gu Cha, located near the harbor, but facing the road. Its a pretty nice environment, lots of space and easy to get to. The service was friendly, and although some have told me the prices are pretty high even for Singapore, we decided to go for it. Along with the pork ribs soup, we also got some pickled cured vegetables, some braised tofu, and another bowl of soup that was pork kidney soup. The pork kidney soup was quite good, very smooth and the pieces of kidney were nice and tender, with a bit of chewiness to them, but not overly so. What I really liked was the braised tofu, which was so juicy and filled with the braised Chinese sauce and spices. Moving onto the actual bak kut teh, the broth was wonderfully flavorful with white pepper. It was a strong pepper flavor, but it was smooth and soothing at the same time. The pork meat was also very nice and tender. I really enjoyed the bak kut teh at Outram Park Yahua Rou Gu Cha in Singapore. Outram Park Yahua Rou Gu Cha Address: 7 Keppel Rd, PSA Tanjong Pagar Complex, 089053 Open hours: About 7 am 4 am from Tuesday Sunday (closed on Monday) Prices: Ribs cost 7 SGD per bowl, out entire meal for 2 cost 36 SGD How to get there: Its located along the coast highway, so you can either take a taxi, or take the MRT to Tanjong Pagar and its about a 10 minute walk

1) Yes, you pronounce it correctly OMG And you almost got all the tonal (because it is in chinese) correctly 2) Nope, it is not pork soak in tea. I know the name is confusing, but basically, it is just pork soup and tea. In the past, people eat that and drink tea together, hence the name. (See 4: 38. See the person at the back is pouring Tea. Yup. that is the exact way I remembered about Bak Kut & Teh. But nowadays, alot of stalls outside remove the tea (Teh) part, only sell the pork ribs soup. )3) Bak Kut Teh is like differ from one to another. In Singapore we have two versions: One the dark version, one is the clear version. I hope next time you can try it. ANYWAY, I remember in Hat Yai there is one Singapore Bak Kat Teh. I think it tastes well too, if you really want to get it in Thailand. Cheers. =D

I'm sure some people will be doing comparisons with 2countries Bak Kut Teh but in Singapore there practically a Bak Kut Teh store in every food places in Singapore while in Malaysia only is concentrated in small area in Malaysia given that majority are Muslims there. So if someone tried the thing and it's not good then most likely you haven't got the right place. And for Malaysia ones, given that only a small area served it people who goes there in Malaysia probably eaten then there for a long time and gotten used to the flavor so places other than the ones they're used to wouldn't suit their taste.

Please eat the rice with the spoon you are severe with. You look poor thing struggling to pick of this grains of rice with chopsticks. These are not sticky rice like u see in Korean or japan. You have to eat them with spoon. And seeing you trying to pick up those small cuts of vege makes u kinda look funny. Sorry. But the spoon is there for a reason

mark you need to try the original real buk ket teh which is in my home town malaysia klang thats where it was born. the broth is meant to be dark and dip your meat in chopped garlic/chilli with dark and light soya. dip your broth with yao char kueh(long chinese donuts) you would not be disappointed come to malaysia i will be there in march-april: )

OMG, just looking at the thumbnail made me drool XD If you ever come to Sabah, Malaysia, make sure to visit a restaurant called Seri Keningau in Putatan. Their Beef Bone Soup (Soup Tulang) is the best I promise you that you will feel like your in heaven after you tried it I have test it at other restaurants but non of them can compare to theirs X3

You guys should eat this dish with 'YouTiao' (chinese donut, when that donut like 'YouTiao' dips into that Bak Kut Teh, that itself is in a totally different level of deliciousness. These is also a different type of Bak Kut Tek that has brown color soup, it has a herbal taste to it and it is very different from the white pepper soup.

really loved that u visited us, ah hua used to be very popular, but over the ages they have changed hands and isn't as good as it used to be, though it is still not too bad. if you ever have a chance to come down to Singapore again, I would love to have the honour to bring you around town to try the best foods in singapore

seriously you should come West Malaysia again to try the famous Klang bak kut teh and another one from East Malaysia Sandakan town (nicknamed little hong kong. Both are different kind of bak kut teh but is much more favorable than the one you're trying now. Alot of Hong Kong Taiwan food Tv show come and interview them.

dam funny. there are sooo many people saying Malaysia is better/ you should go Malaysia. no one person is the same. all have different taste. there is no such thing as THE BEST food because not everyone will agree. if Mr Mark Wiens is in Singapore then let him eat what he wants. And review it as he likes.
