老张 Bak Kut Teh

 | 


Though I've had several Bak Kut Teh meals in my gastronomic experience, I'm no Bak Kut Teh expert or connoisseur.

But I do know a bit about Bak Kut Teh. For example, there are three types of Bak Kut Teh in Singapore. The most common variant is the Teochew style, which is light in color with a peppery soup base. The Hokkien folks who prefer saltier food, uses more soy sauce resulting in a darker soup. The Cantonese, with a soup-drinking culture, adds medicinal herbs to create a stronger flavoured soup.

Regardless of the various types of Bak Kut Teh available, you will know how to differentiate a good bowl of Bak Kut Teh from an average bowl from the tenderness of the meat and tastiness of the soup.

And I must say that I've found a good and very affordable Bak Kut Teh stall tucked in a small coffeeshop along Owen Road.

The newly opened 老张 Bak Kut Teh Stall


What the BF and I like about this Bak Kut Teh is that the meat is soft and succulent, while the soup base is tasty and not too peppery. You can say that is is a bit of a mix between the Teochew and Hokkien style of Bak Kut Teh soup base. In fact, I like it so much that I asked for another bowl of soup !


We also ordered an additional side dish - Braised Pig Trotters. Ok I am not a fan of pork but this is very delicious! The meat is tender and soft, and the gravy is tasty but not too salty. 


As the stall is newly opened, the owner wanted feedback so that he can further improve his dish.

Apart from the good Bak Kut Teh and Braised Pig Trotters, what we love about this place it is very affordable. In fact, it is so affordable that you will probably not find another stall that serves $4 for a good and filling bowl of Bak Kut Teh.

And now that the monsoon season has just begun, you can warm your bellies with this very delicious hot chinese cuisine.
