NG AH SIO Bak Kut Teh (Rangoon Road)

Food was strong in taste and a bit salty. But I do enjoy it as the service was great! Ample seats and well ventilated. The server took notice of our soup and kept coming back to top up. Wished that the portion could be bigger for the price paid. Tau pok came only in a few pieces, but tau kee were more.

Saw online that they supposedly serve the best bak kut teh in Singapore at their Rangoon road outlet. We were there during lunch when there was an office event nearby. The soup was really good and I would definitely go back for it. The tea was a bit intense due to the pot size.

It's still the best place to have Bak Kut Teh. The ribs are nice and tender. The soup is flavorful and has the nice peppery taste I enjoy alot. We ordered the ribs with liver, kidney, ngoh hiang fried sausage and salted veg. Cheng Mei and another colleague were attentive, friendly and kept our bowls topped with piping hot soup. The only reason I don't come as often as I wish is it's a little off the way for me to get to... Otherwise. I'd probably be here weekly. Final photo says all.

Service was good; staff attentive and helpful Soup was good 8.5/10 Pork ribs superior premium grade .. could be more tender so 8/10 Tau Kee 9/10 Liver can be softer cannot beat the quality in Jb soup stalls so 7.5/10 Peanuts braised 8.6/10 Overall rating 8.6/10

Found this bak ku teh at Google map with quite good rating, so decide to give a try alone. This Bak ku tek is the pepper type, so those malaysian looking for herbal kluang type may not be suitable for you. Ordered the soft bone soup, liver and kidney soup and braised pig trotter rice. The Bak ku teh soup is quite rich with strong pepper taste. The kidney and liver soup tasye normal to me. The braised pig trotter rice could be better. The meat is too little. Soup is regularly top up by the waitress. However, because of that, you have to pay 10% service charge. The restaurant is non aircon and ordering is done by mobile phone, scanning a qr code. In total, I paid more than $30 for 1 pax, which i think is not worth the money. Parking lot is difficult to find, you will have to wait at the roadside for other diner to leave before you can get a lot. If not, you can park further up in an open air public car park.

Brought my Japanese customers here to try the famous SG dish, and they were not disappointed. In fact, they loved it! It was so flavourful, yet reasonably priced. Service was prompt and friendly, too. The place was clean, orderly, and tidy

This bak kut teh had a strong peppery kick, which might be a bit much for those who prefer a milder broth (like me!). However, the pork ribs were tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the soy sauce eggs. The restaurant was clean and the food was presented well. One thing to note is that the service was quite slow during our meal

Original branch. The bak kut teh was good, but other dishes such as tofu and vegetables were very good as well. I recommend every dishes ordered.

pretty good BKT from ng ah sio bkt, rangoon road. braised pig trotter was super tender and aromatic and the sides were good too. unfortunately (i think i ordered wrongly), the ribs in the bkt was tough instead of the fall of the bones texture. maybe they didnt cook it long enough. . oh well, still one of the better bkt in sg. go try!

Familiar taste and very good service, miss it all the time whenever outside Singapore.

I am not a fan of Bak Kut Teh. However a program on the TV made me crave for the hot peppery soup. In Singapore, there are 2 version of BKT. The peppery version and the herbal version. I've tried both and the peppery version always has been my favorite. The dishes that was ordered. 1. Signature Pork Rib and Meaty Rib soup. ( This is the BKT) 2. Braised peanuts 3. Braised soy beancurd platter 4. Braised egg 5. Preserved Vegetables Review in order above. 1. For the BKT, the soup is full of flavor. However, it's a little too peppery for my tastebuds. For those who likes really very peppery soup, this is for you!!! The soup, although too peppery for me, is very addictive!!! The good thing about this place is that you can ask the wait staff to refill your soup. Even when the soup is too peppery for me, I had my soup refilled once. So you know how addictive this soup is. Even when the soup is too peppery for me, I had my soup refilled once. So you know how addictive this soup is. There are 3 pieces of ribs in a bowl. 2 short and 1 long rib. The pork rib, i prefer the short meaty rib as it is more tender. The more expensive long rib, the meat seems to be more dry when compared to the short rib. Couldn't find any of those melt in the mouth garlic cloves though The braised peanuts are not from the tin as some other eateries served. It's braised by them. One of the more enjoyable side dish. 3. There's nothing special about the braised soy beancurds. In fact it's just taste of salt nothing special. 4. The braised egg was ok. It's fresh egg though not overnight eggs which is something that's nice as the white is still soft and there's no weird smell in the yolk as in eggs that's are not fresh. 5. The preserved vegetables is the let down side dish. The letdown is, the only flavor is the vegetable oil taste. No other taste. This dish is supposed to have the melt in ur mouth texture. But the dish served here is hard and flavorless except for the oil taste. This is the dish that I won't be ordering again.

Great local food in an open air restaurant. Go with the pork and don't skip out on the chili's. When the lady with the kettle rolls by and offers to drown your pork ribs in more broth, you say "YES!". Mix some of the rice into the broth. Pick up the bones and gnaw on them!

Try Ng Ah Sio for the very peppery version of Bak Kut Teh! Pork was very tender and legit. All the other dishes and drinks paired nicely with the soup and I can see why this place is legendary. Great that you can now simply order from your phone -- makes things very efficient and straightforward. I personally prefer the herbal version of the soup, but to each his/her own!

Bah Kut Teh - Pork Ribs Soup at Ng Ah Sio is flavorful and delicious! Ordered the Signature Spare & Pork Rib Combo Soup (SGD 7). The spare ribs were more tender than the pork ribs! I think next time I'll ordered just the Signature Spare Ribs Soup (SGD 8). Even on a hot and humid day in Singapore, this dish is always great! They also serve... - signature pork rib soup (SGD 5.50) - fish fillet soup (SGD 5.50) - blanched pig liver (SGD 5.50) - blanched pig kidney (SGD 5.50) - blanched pig & liver combo (SGD 5.50) - pig tail (SGD 5.50) - braised pig intestine (SGD 5.50) - braised pig skin (SGD 2) - braised pig trotter (SGD 8) - tau kua pok (SGD 2) - braised peanuts (SGD 2) - blanched lettuce (SGD 4) - preserved vegetables (SGD 2) - tang-o (SGD 3) - blanched xiao bai cai (SGD 4) - fried you tiao (SGD 2) - rice (sm SGD .5/lrg .75)

A friend of a friend is a local in Singapore and brought us to this place when we asked her to bring us somewhere we had to try. I have no doubt in my mind that this is real authentic Singaporean food. You can tell, however, that the restaurant has been been given a look geared towards non locals, with the history of the restaurant on the walls, and menus and signs in both Chinese and English. We ordered many dishes to share but the focus is on the "bak kut teh" which translates roughly to "meat bone tea", and is a soup made from pork ribs. It's intended to be an invigorating and nourishing staple. We each had a bowl of this dish to ourselves, and each bowl had a hearty amount of hot soup and at least two pork ribs with plenty of meat on the bones. The soup was nothing like I've ever had before, very peppery and almost spicy. Normally, these flavors aren't something I lean towards but the soup was addicting. It was a warm night but I still couldn't stop drinking this hot soup! And you will never have to worry about running out of it because the ladies will come around and refill your bowl with more. The pork rib meat was not tender as some I've had before, but still good. We also ordered a dish with mushrooms, another with vermicelli, one with braised duck (sliced thing and delicious!), pork feet, and asian veggies. All very standard, but yummy asian dishes. *Wifi & password is on a sign on a column!

Came here for lunch with a group of coworkers and we feasted! Yes, we came here for the infamous bak kut teh and the peppery broth was very satisfying. I had the combo version of pork bones and pork ribs. Love all the melt in your mouth garlic cloves and the never-ending supply of broth they come around with. I could drink this all day long but then we of course ordered a crazy selection of side dishes to eat too! Braised peanuts, braised tofu,braised eggs, some veggies and oh, a plate of braised duck...there really were only 5 of us but we did pretty well in finishing everything off. I recommend all the items that we tried! Now I'll just have to go back and explore the rest of the menu.

But the dish served here is hard and flavorless except for the oil taste. This is the dish that I won't be ordering again. Besides all the above dishes, I had the fried dough, you tiao 油條. This is a must have for dunking into the soup! Let it soak in all the goodness of the soup and stuff the bite size dough into your mouth. That's pure happiness! The good thing about this fried dough is that it's not oily at all!!! So my soup was not contaminated with the smell of the oil from the fried dough. This place has an old school feel with newly renovated interior that has a clean feeling. The only setback is that they have no aircon in the place which can be terrible if the weather gets too hot. Otherwise I won't mind coming back again.

We had the premium ribs & combo. Peppery soup with boiled rice and fried dough sticks. A bit of self service with the tea and disposal of rib bones. No air conditioning so be prepared to sweat a little. Otherwise a cultural experience in herbs, pepper, tea and rice.

Bak Kut teh broth is on point!- the right mixtures of spices, pepper, flavor and is temperature hot! Got a box of broth to take home and make on my own- hopefully it turns out!

This spot has got history. As Chinese diaspora it's always goosebumpy hearing stories of other groups of migrants. This spot developed a flavour and dishes that reflected the coolie culture and needs at the time. I came with my parents and their friends (who are local Singapore). The soup was tasty - mad peppery! The ribs are super tender and fall off the bone. I love love loved the sides: you tiao and sour veg (or preserved veg on the menu). They serve all parts of the pig! The kidneys and pig trotter were good!

So here's the drill: 1. Sit down and order a pot of tea 2. Order the Signature Pork Rub Soup 3. Choose your sides (My favorites include the preserved vegetables, and tofu) 4. Stuff your face I used to love this place very much till they sold out and opened a million branches on other parts of the island. Singaporean Bak Kut Teh has this strong peppery flavor, and this soup used to have depth. Not anymore.

My favorite bak kut teh shop in Singapore. Compared to other stores, Ng Ah Sio serves the 'strongest' soup. It's very peppery and bold in flavor, which is why I prefer it compared to the others. As for the ribs itself, I think it loses out to Ya Hua in terms of tenderness but not by much. Don't forget to order the pork trotters. It's served up with a wonderful garlic chilli sauce and it might even be better than the pork ribs itself!

I am not an expert of bak kut teh and in fact, I have only started eating the dish after I moved to Singapore. But even before that, I have heard of Ng Ah Sio. It was made pretty famous by our former Chief Executive. The story was that on his prior official visit to Singapore, the former CE asked Ng Ah Sio to extend its opening hours to accommodate his schedule (at that time the store only operated till early afternoon) but his request was readily declined. That's why Ng Ah Sio is very famous in Hong Kong and I am curious to see how good it is. I went with my family who were in town for a short visit. We didn't try the side dish but shared a pork rib soup with some rice and fried dough (you tiao). They have two kinds of pork ribs, one is the long rib and the other is the bone with meat. The rib appears to have less meat but this is an illusion because the rib meat is quite fatty as well. I really like the peppery flavour and the soup at Ng Ah Sio is definitely on the peppery side so I am very satisifed. To finish the soup, we had three servings of the fried dough. The strong taste also meant that plain rice is a complement. We ordered the Kung Fu tea which you can brew and make yourself with the table side kettle, the tea helps wash away the greasiness and is a good substitute for coffee as we were having bah kut teh as our breakfast. Service was efficient and the place was neat and clean. We definitely felt very full after the meal and I understand why this is a popular item among early Chinese settlers, especially the laborers. After the meal, we walked down Ragoon Road towards Little India and we saw another bak kut teh shop, Founder's bkt. It seems like a very popular place too and I wonder if it tastes very different. But we are too full to try another bowl of bak kut teh so perhaps I will return with my next batch of visitors to Founders.

The restaurant had recently renovated so it has the new old-school look. It's clean but no air-con with I would very much appreciate. By law (mine anyway), all restaurants that sell piping hot soup must install air-con!!! Let's talk soup. Theirs is a peppery type. And I do mean PEPPERY!! My hubby loves it while I found it a tad overpowering. Pepper was all I could taste. The pork ribs were quite tender despite being quite big chunks. Again, the meat in each serving was not a lot but the sliced pork bowl was value for dollar to raise your pork intake. Their lettuce dish was the best dish, the one that stole the show in a meat-dominated stall! Funny right?!? But the light but tasty sauce that covers the layers of crispy lettuces really does it for me! I had 2 plates of it! I would personally not opt to return but if it's majority's choice then I won't starve myself there, I'm picky but not a dumb.

Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut Teh has the pepper flavor that is so tasty I wanna come back again when visiting Singapore!

The perfect peppery herbal Bak Kut Teh. Authentic spacious clean. Must try when in Singapore. Remember to accompany the Bak Kut Teh with some tea. The stronger the better.

this might be my favorite bak kut teh spot. their soup is the most peppery and flavorful, and it's the soup that really matters to me. the actual pork is not that tender, although their pork kidney was perhaps a little too tender for me (i prefer mine sliced a little thicker so that it has more "meatiness"). some people probably prefer it that way, but it's just not my personal preference. the pork rib is not super tender, but it's good enough, and easily overlooked when considering how damn good their broth is. last time i came here, i got 3 refills of the broth. my belly was sloshing around like a milk jug walking out of here, but damn was it worth it.

in itself, bak kut teh is a very strong-tasting soup with (hopefully-not-too-dry) pork ribs. the broth served up here is hot and strongly peppery, but I think a little too salty (though I find more bak kut tehs a little too salted for comfort), and slightly akin to what I boiled up from a packet*, while studying in london. (*I haven't yet decided if this is an insult or not.) I'm more confident talking about the braised trotter, especially given my recent spate of pork-hunting - but it does probably matter a lot on how you like your meat. I prefer it soft and pink (that sort of cooked pink you'd recognise in expert barbecue), tender and flake-able, chewy but not tough, and no fat or sinew or skin (thanks very much, please). with founder's, the trotter comes whole with soft gelatinous skin surrounding tender meat; also the way I've discovered I prefer. over here though, it's a chopped up mass of meat and skin and fat - which makes it difficult to sieve through for the lean meat, and the flavor isn't nearly as deep or as satisfying as the former. I still ate it, but there's nothing quite like breaking down an entire trotter. but what's impressive here is the array of sides you can order with your bowl of rib soup and trotter. it's more quantity than quality though: I'm partial to braised peanuts, though I'm no elitist - I can't tell you if they're canned or from scratch, but but they do the job. braised shitake mushrooms were a little less successful, with the taste of woody mushrooms rather overpowering any cover-up the sauce might have tried. lettuce leaves were exactly just that, wilted in a salty clear sauce and topped with garlic; and the most exotic dish was that of chilled blanched squid that came with a sweet dipping sauce. passable. the cute thing about this place and its branches, is that it plays up all the nostalgia we associate with eating long passed with the years. shortish wooden chairs, retro-looking tiles, kungfu teapots and cups, and self-dispensing metal containers holding cutlery. it's possibly the most hipster establishment ever, actually, given that all of this is a facade meant to trick you into thinking you're back in those years gone by, except with air-conditioning. the food is passable, but only just. it loses to founder bak kut teh, and both lose to the ang mo kio eng kee (no photos, but I'll try next time!) - but it'll work in a pinch for a craving.

In hawker lore, Ng Ah Sio is one of those that's 'made it'. It's got a prettily renovated shop on the same spot where it has been for many years. A wall adorned with pictures of famous celebrities and politicians. I like it more than Song Fa because I think Ah Sio's soup is a little richer and more intense; but I don't love it. My bak kut teh love will always be in Klang.

one of best bakutehs in town! The soup is not too peppery compared to others. Definitely will come again!
