Song Fa Bak Kut Teh 11 New Bridge Road 松發肉骨茶 11新桥路

Finally we get to try this Michelin star Bak kut teh!. totally satisfied and happy!! Ordered the premium loin soup, its is good as advertised! The soup is thick & flovourful and not salty. the chicken feet is surprisingly good!! It's so good, nothing left!

Taste here at this outlet is less impactful compared to other outlets, have a feeling it’s adjusted due to the number of tourists visiting this outlet. Regardless food quality is still good and worth going. Service is exceptional

​Fr, the broth is next lvl. It's like, so rich n comforting but also has that perfect peppery kick from the garlic ＆ herbs. Srsly hits the spot. It's super flavorful tho not heavy - u could drink it all day. Best part? They give free refills.

The restaurant serves delicious Chinese food. The restaurant is usually crowded so you have to queue to be served. The staff is very friendly and enthusiastic. The prices are reasonable.

Great place, deserves its michelen stars. There was the queue to enter, but it was not so long, around 30 minutes, not over. While I was waiting, I was offered the small fan (on the back side, you can see all chain restaurants in Singapore. Than they gave the small paper with queue number, you can pre-order food while waiting, it was very convenient. I have ordered pork rib soup and pork tenderloin. It was super delicious, only they offered to refill the soup if you have finished it. Perfect and highly recommended!

Not actually bad the Bakuteh. The pork ribs are very tasty. And the tea also strong and nice. Staffs were quite attentive. But found dish-wash scouring pad after I finished my meal.🙃🙈

Super yummy and comforting meal! The pork rib soup was rich, bold, and perfectly peppery – the pork was super tender and fell right off the bone. Loved that they refill the soup too! The braised large intestines were flavorful and well-prepared, and the iced lemon tea was a great refreshing balance to the heat. Definitely a must-try for anyone craving a classic Singaporean bak kut teh experience. Do prepare for a queue – I waited around 10–15 minutes, but they were so sweet to offer a fan and a drink while waiting, which made the experience really pleasant.

As tourists in Singapore, this is our favorite go-to place for bah ku teh. Food is consistently great (see photo), and the service is always pleasant. Deanna and her team deserve 5 stars. Will be back again soon.

No Joke. If you're in Singapore - this must be on your list! Herbal Pork Rib Soup! Holy WOW! The robust flavor makes you feel good drinking and eating it! The atmosphere is very family oriented, the set up reminds me of an old school soup shop. Wooden stools and small bowls. Service is on point, love the soup refill - and it's constant so you're always having warm-hot soup. Seriously it warms your body, mind and soul. We got 2 premium pork rib soup, plus sides with veggies. And tried both the fried goodies (fish & seafood cakes); love it! Probably one of the best meals we had (we went for lunch and dinner)! lol Make a pit spot here! Multiple locations! #yelpeats #travelfoodlog #singapore

QUICKIE REVIEW Food with garlic and pepper kick. FOOD This is what I tried: -Port ribs soup -Rice -Mee Sua - Homemade Ngoh Hiang Look, you don't get 7 consecutive years of Michelin status by not being good. The soup has BOLD flavor, and I love it. Meat falls write off the bone being so tender. All the other sides were good but the star of the show are those ribs with that flavor. PARKING Yes. SERVICE Order online and food is magically delivered to you. PRICE Less than $50 for two. TIP/OTHER THOUGHTS I showed up at 7pm with no line and sat down immediately. Within 15 minutes there was a long queue. I can see it comes in waves at this location. Good luck when you go.

After a 20 minute wait I was able to try this spot! I got the pork ribs soup. The ribs were super tender, and the broth was quite flavorful. I was even able to get a refill on the broth! I wish the serving size could have been slightly bigger, but the quality here was amazing.

Some delicious bat kut teh, with several kinds of ribs/spareribs available, plenty of veggies, and of course, fried bread (yeow teow). Indoor and outdoor seating but mostly indoor, with dark wood and class yet a very casual feel. They are very quick, order inside at the table via app. And the bak kut teh is great in flavor-- a definite cut above most places. About the only ding was the yeow teow came out cold and not the most appealing, but then, soak it in the broth and it almost doesn't matter!

I am pretty obsessed with Bak Kut Teh. Voted our best meal in Singapore, we went back for more. My brother took us here when I said I wanted a truly Singaporean meal. He ordered for us. Pork ribs in broth all around. The pork ribs were good but the broth was the highlight. Simple, yet steeped in flavor that only comes from a bestowed upon ancient wisdom. Mustard greens make for the perfect side dish accompaniment. Mix a little in your rice. The portions seem small but make sure to eat your rice and don't hold back on lapping up the epic broth. Servers come around with it in teapots and refill for you endlessly. Amazing! Go ham. By the end of the meal we were chanting bak kut teh, bak kut teh, bak kut teh.

This place is known for their bak Kuh Teh and they have won the Michelin guide 6 years in a row. There was a line but it move fast and they got this service thing down! While you wait for your table to clean, they give you the qr code to start placing your order. Right when you sit down, the food could be ready. We got the pork soup with some veggies and a meat roll dish. The pork soup gives you unlimited soup too It was very homey and nostalgic. The broth was on the peppery side but really good. We asked for so much refills ahhah

Just like what you can have in Singapore. Try the braised egg and song fa boiled rice.

Another must visit place. We ordered the basic Pork Ribs Soup and Homemade Ngoh Hiang. I tasted the strong pepper on the soup. Even it is hot outside, but the soup was good and I starting to feel that why this disk is so popular. I like it a lot. You scan the menu and order it online. It is very easy process. They take credit card or cash. The A/C was strong and the table kind of small. So, no place to bring extra food... (I know ..right). This place is not a spot to hang out with friends. This place is for people who want to eat and enjoy their food. Just saying that because I don't know why some traveler took the kids with them and end up with ... issues...lol

Had it during a dinner time before sending my friend off at Jewel. At least 30 mins queue before we get our seats. Not a pork lover so opt for sliced fish and I never regret the choice. The peppery taste broth with sides and it's a must to go with rice! I wish the red chili is spicier. Black sauce with chili is a must.

TL;DR: Some of the best food I've had in Singapore! Great to share with a larger group, just try to come early to avoid the rush of people. Walked by with a group of five on a Tuesday morning, around and we were immediately transfixed by the smell, so we just had to stop here and eat. We were seated pretty quickly, though by the time we were actually eating, a huge line had formed outside, so it may just be because we arrived right before the lunch rush. Their menu and ordering process was all done entirely on the phone, but was quick easy to use. For the table, we got a wide assortment of food--Three plates of Stewed Pork Belly ($9 each), a large plate of Chicken Feet ($6), a plate of beancurd ($4), two bowls of rice ($2 each), and a side platter set that included peanuts, tofu, and egg ($3). I also ordered a Honey Lemon Tea ($2), which was perfectly refreshing with the hot weather, and tasted better than even most of the local boba shops I've visited. All of the food came out incredibly quickly, and tasted incredible. The Chicken Feet especially was something I had been craving for a while, and wasn't able to find at local dim sum stalls. The Pork Belly had generous portions, and the food was more than enough to leave all of us feeling full. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try the Bak Kut Teh, but I will definitely return here to try that next time. I see why this restaurant holds a Michelin Guide recommendation for five years running--I will definitely be revisiting this place in the future.

Fast service, good soup. Side dishes are tasty. Pork ribs are quite tender. Definitely recommend.

The restaurant was full but we were seated right away. Service was efficient and fast. We had pork rib soup (very flavorful) and braised pork belly (tender, saucy and delicious). They recommended a certain flavor of honey iced tea - so refreshing and a perfect counterpoint to the steaming hot soup and humid weather. Everything was satisfying.

We were surprised at how good the food was. It was a suggestion from a friend and we had no idea what to expect. Excellent service, delicious foods, and very affordable!

I would come here and just get the pork soup. We got the normal one large ( 4 pieces vs 3 pieces for rib). You get unlimited broth! So we just got one large bowl with about 4 refills. Omg so good. So peppery. Keep in mind I haven't been to other ones, but I loved how homey and cheap it was. The other items we got were pork trotters, chicken feet, lightly fried chicken rolls. None of those really stuck out tbh, I'd stick to just the soup. They weren't bad by any means, just nothing could match the soup. Some soup, a little bit of rice, and I think you are set. We also got the soursop drink, and I really thought the fruit worked well

This soup wasn't bad, just not my favorite. It's a peppery porky broth, but the soup and pork ribs were little bland by my standards. It's nice that they refill the broth though! I didn't really get the hype around this, but maybe i'm just not used to Singaporean cuisine. get the lemon iced tea- really refreshing!

Damn, this place is the place to come for dinner. We had: veggies, beancurd skin, pork belly, premium loin ribs soup, and rice. The premium loin ribs soup was very very tasty. The soup was very well made and with lots of punch.The flavor was on the spot. I addition, the ribs were very tasty up to the bone. The punch of the night was the pork belly. It had the proper combination of fat and skinny meat. The sauce made the dish even more tastier. I gotta warn that this place gets pretty crowded and the wait line can take up to 1hr or more. So, be prepared for such long line and long wait time.

Go a little late to avoid long lines during meal hours. They have the best Bak Kut Teh (pork rib soup) ever! Their broth is amazing and they come and refill your bowl if you are low. They also have other good vegetable and meat dishes but their pork rib soup is the best! They charge for green tea and refill it only once for free. Super delicious, clean, and air conditioning!

Went to Singapore to visit a friend and this place was recommended to me. This place has a couple locations around SG but I was advised to go to this one. I ordered the one and only bak kut teh for breakfast. The pork ribs were soft and fall off the bone, the broth soup is pepper but light. They also refill your broth/soup for free. It's really good with rice. Definitely will go back here when I visit Singapore again.

Work lunch Singapore style. Pork rib broth - endless broth, 2 pieces of super tender pork ribs. Peppery, white peppery broth. Needless to say, I want more. I had three bowls. Side dishes are bit salty. It also came with a bowl of rice. It's stereotypical Singaporean. Small dishes and lots of soup. I'm not complaining but the broth soup thing must be lost on westerners who did not grow up with soup. The soup is almost white in color and they refill it from a kettle made for tea. Thus, the name translates into meat bone tea. However, this thick broth is exactly the kind of thing Asians grew up on, especially southern (Cantonese) Chinese. I would love to come back, but knowing my immediate family, which I put them under the white people category, this is not something they'd be up for. So save this meal trip with fellow soup aficionados!

The soup here was delicious! And the staff is friendly and helpful as well. I ordered the Ba Ku Teh, which at about $7 comes with 3 pork bones and soup. But as you are eating the bones and the soup, they come around and refill your bowl with more soup! The big benefit of that is that the soup always tastes super hot, because there's only so much soup at any given time, and every time you get more, the soup pipping hot, which keeps the experience super enjoyable. The broth has a rich tasty pork taste, with a bit of pepper in it. It was a hearty, warm loving soup and I personally liked the amount of pepper, I thought it balanced the soup really well. The Cai Lan was also pretty good, as well as the Lemon Tea. Overall a super enjoyable experience and one of my favorite meals in Singapore.

I've only had Malaysian version of pork rib soup prior. I had no idea Singaporean version was so peppery! Unlimited refills on broth - we ordered their pork ribs, loins, premium ribs, liver, kidney - every cut was perfectly prepared and extremely tender. Dipped in a bit of house made chili, beyond delish! Soy braised pig trotters, pork belly, and pig intestines - My fav was the melt in my mouth, super cooked down collagen from the trotters. The braising sauce was so tasty. Spoonful over rice, you got yourself a perfect meal! Limited seatings but they are very efficient in getting tables ready. Also they begin taking your order as you stand in line. So foods are served as soon as you are seated! Def check out Song Fa when In SG!

Best Bak Kut Teh (Pork-Rib Soup) in Singapore! Too many good food in Singapore, and it's hard to say which one is the best. However, if you ask for Bak Kut Teh recommendation, I gotta say @songfamedan is the best among all! I'm so impressed by the tenderness of the pork ribs, which they even show you the level of tenderness of each pork-rib soup on their menu. No wonder they are listed under the Michelin Bib Gourmand! Pro tip: Don't worry about you'll finish the soup quickly, as they have unlimited refills

I get the hype... It's one of the most consistent places in terms of both food quality and service even though the food is fairly simple. I find myself coming here pretty much once a week on the weekends to get my fix. The broth is definitely the highlight for me. It's peppery but there's no sharp heat. It's so comforting that I usually get at least 2~3 refills. The meat is pretty tender, but the broth is really the star. I personally get the large size because I don't get rice or noodle, but I think most people will be fine withe regular size. The other items are pretty decent as well, but I always stick to the Bak Kut Teh as the primary focus. The only down side is the line/queue... They do make the wait time more productive by taking order first.

Currently back in the states and I'm regretting not bringing back Song Fa's bak kut teh spice packets. Fair warning, the soup is verrrry peppery. I personally enjoy the kick, but I can see how it can be too much for some. Other than that, the broth is sooo warming. I enjoyed it in 90 degree heat, so I can't imagine how good it is when it's cold (does it even get cold in Singapore...?) The pork rib is tender and meaty- I loved biting it off the bone! Best part is that the soup is unlimited!!! Once they see that you're running low, a server comes to refill your bowl. Don't be discouraged if you see a line outside, as it moves super quickly!

Tea based ribs soup is the specialty here and it's deliciously soaked in the savory broth. You'll get one refill of the tea throughout the meal. The appetizer combo is a good deal if you want to try out the different snacks - but those can be skipped if you just go for the ribs. Now what isn't fun is if there's a wait - there's no A/C here as everything is open air (pretty much like a hawker center). Best to dine and go quickly.

Oh my oh my do not judge a book by its cover ! Their pork rib soup may look simple, but i like to think it has magical powers!! The peppery and warm broth hits your throat like no other. It really warms up your body and makes you feel so good. The soup is sweet and peppery, but never too overpowering. Not to mention, the pork ribs are so damn tender. So easy to bite off and doesn't have a weird meaty taste. Just so damn perfect. I think this dish is pretty healthy ??? I had a sore throat the day I tried this dish and it completely healed itself the next day! What a magical soup this is.

One of the best BKT restaurants around. Song Fa is famous (and old) , though I don't think they would be the "original" as there are variations of who made the first BKTs Hokkien style or the more herbal version. I would definitely recommend getting the pickled mustard greens to pair with the savory-ness of BKT. Also, they come around and refill the broth, which is the best part!

Thanks Yelp for directing me to this restaurant as my very first meal in Singapore ever! I wasn't convinced that this place warranted the reviews when I saw a couple patsy white ribs in some clear-ish broth. How could anything be delicious when it looked boiled with no seasonings? Nope nope nope! I stand corrected! I can admit I was very wrong. The meat was unlike any other ribs I have ever had and the broth is just an extra bonus. How something so unassuming and simple can be so good I can not pretend to even know, but my socks were completely knocked off. Can soup make a grown woman cry? Yes, yes it can. The ambiance and service is simple, the price is low and the product is amazing. Will I fly back to Singapore for ribs in soup...? I just might...

I only like Song Fa after I discovered you can have sliced fish in the bkt broth instead of pork ribs. Yay! The soup can be tasteless at times though after a top up it can pack a punch of peppery goodness. It does not taste like it has been made with actual ribs, slow cooking for hours, lacking the natural sweetness and taste of home cooked soup. As it is perennially crowded with tourists and locals, the staff is very efficient in seating customers and clearing tables. It really reminds me of the game "Diner Dash". I always feel like I am in the live version of it when eating here. To shorten any potential time wasting, diners are expected to pay when the food arrive, just like in some coffee shops and hawker centers. So you can just leave once you are done with your meal. The pork ribs is tender but not that tender that the meat can slid right off without some coaxing. The side dishes are ok. I will only come here when I want sliced fish in bkt broth or if I am in the area. Otherwise, there are probably other better bkt around. I believe this is a CASH only place.

Across the street from the shops at Clarke Quay, the restaurant has two locations side by side. The corner location seemed way more crowded, so we hopped into the other side. We ordered up some water chestnut waters to hydrate and got to looking at the menu. Beware of those wet naps! Those are NOT free and they will charge you $0.10 each. If you don't want miscellaneous charges, you just return the wet naps when you pay and they take it off your final bill. I wished I knew that tidbit in advance! For food, we got the popular pork rib soup and a few other dishes, like cai xin (mustard greens), braised chicken feet and braised pork belly to share among the three of us. The pork ribs were tender and fell off the bone, while the soup was heavy in white pepper. It wasn't too spicy since the heat level dissipated after a few seconds. It was so delicious.  The pork belly was super fatty, gelatinous and flavorful. The chicken feet for me was just comfort food. Both portions were relatively small, but tasty. The greens were there for balance haha. Anyway, food is legit and service is very quick! Once the food arrives, you pay before you eat so you can bounce out when you're done.

Amazing Ba Kut Teh (Pork Rib Soup). I have been here several times and this place is always so crowded. Even though there are two of these almost right next to each other. Even though the waiting lines are always big, it doesnt take that long. The soup is a must try. Its peppery and clear. Rib is tender and you can get the soup refilled unlimited times. Side dishes like Bok Choy, Mustard, pork belly etc are tasty as well. Must try place!

Great broth!!! So the staple item to order is the original bone in broth combo, we ordered a few since we had a huge party. So the pork rib is very tender and absolutely amazing, it's flavorful and juicy. We ordered some vegetables for the table, bowl of rice and some other side dishes but honestly the pork rib soup the star of the entire place. As you are eating your entire meal, be careful not eat all of the meat immediately because they will come around and REFILL your BROTH!! The broth is sooo friggin good, it is peppery and rich and just so amazing. Like I was able to enjoy rice with broth and it was so worth it. I'm not sure what their secret recipe is for the broth but you can tell they spend a lot of hours to make the broth. They also sell packages of the broth seasoning in case you want to make it from home. Which i am a little upset that I did not buy. If you are visiting Singapore, it is definitely a must to just stop in for a bowl of pork rib broth. Not necessary to order the other vegetables and side dishes, but definitely order a bowl of rice to go with the soup. Make sure to maximize the number of refills!! I was able to get three!!!

It's ok I still prefer Malaysian type BKT. 1. Very crowded but you won't wait to long although the line looks so scary and long asf. 2. Price: the soup is expensive than the sides but just try for once it's ok 3. Taste: the soup tastes nice and you can ask them to have more soup for free

Best food I've had in Singapore. The service was fast and food came out almost immediately. But the Bak Kut Teh is to die for. This is a traditional Singaporean dish that consists of braised pork ribs with tea broth. The broth is rich with a rich garlic flavor. The meat practically falls off the bone. A large portion is around $10 Singaporean dollars ($7.22 US dollars). Plenty of seating but it can get cramped since there's so many customers. However, I miss their food a ton and would for sure come back if I ever am in Singapore again.

This place is bomb! Great service, amazing food. Bah Kut Teh has such good flavor for the broth and the pork just falls off the bone. The side dishes (pork rolls) is also a must.

I tried the pork ribs soup and it was delicious! Honestly I think everyone in the restaurant was eating the same thing. Haha I could've drank the broth all night which they happily replenish if you get low while eating.

Felt a bit under the weather and was in the mood for something soupy but hearty. Song Fa came through with a peppery broth with tasty pork ribs! Super busy during lunch but wait times aren't long at all. It's interesting to taste Bak Kut Teh from different parts as they all taste different. Up in Malaysia, specifically Klang their version is more herbal tasting. I like it all to be honest so no complaints here! When I'm back in town I'll have to make another visit!

We love this location .. open as early as 8:30am!! Personal favor is the pork bone soup w the mei xien. Soup is unlimited refill .. I didn't like the marinated pork interesting .. was too mushy to me

So so simple but so so good, and love that it opens at 9 am so my friends and I could get a breakfast in. Ordered the pork rib soup (which is what they're known for, especially if it's in the name of the restaurant) and they constantly refill the soup which is nice. It tastes heavily of white pepper but I love it, and the pork is so tender it falls off the bone. Definitely one of those restoring and revitalizing feeling soups. Also got the braised pork belly which was good, but if you're sticking to a smaller breakfast, just go for the bak kut teh Would definitely come back for another

Not sure why this place is considered one of the best places in Singapore to get bak kut teh (pork rib soup). I understand that the broth is supposed to be garlic-y/peppery but the pepper taste was overwhelming. The pork belly also tasted pretty average. I got a stomachache after eating here which makes me think that their soup was filled with MSG.

Bak Kut Teh = rich pork rib soup Everything at Song Fa is pretty delicious, but their infamous bak kut teh is a must! I kid you not, but since coming back to the states, I still salivate over this peppery pork soup. mMm...it's simple, yet complexly delicious...and who can resist unlimited broth refills (yes, unlimited!) added to your bowl. Granted, when I was in SIN, it was super crazy hot and hard to put down hot liquids in my system, but I can only imagine how much more delicious this "meat bone tea" would taste during the cold winter months. The rich peppery taste can easily warm your stomach. In fact, with Winter fast approaching, it prompted me to write this review. I'm determined to find something comparable here in the states. The meat from the pork ribs fell right off the bone and is best eaten with either a little bit of soy or a nice bowl of mee sua. I prefer noodles over rice, but I see others easily make rice soup with the brother and a nice bowl of rice. Craving something on the lighter side? There's also plenty of veggie options (beancurd skin, chinese broccoli, salted veggies) to complement the meat palate. Keep in mind that Song Fa does get pretty crowded, no matter what time of the day and you are often asked to share a table if you come alone. With the constant amount of people, it can get pretty stuffy from time to time. However, service is super quick and they make every effort to get their patrons in and seated as quick as possible.

The waitress was very good at selling and convincing customers (especially newbies/tourists) to order and try more dishes from the menu. I like that Song Fa's Bak Kut Teh has no soy or black sauce added to their soup/broth. Strong and mostly white pepper flavor with subtle herbal essence. Not cheap eats. Small bowl with small portion. Very little soup. When asked for soup refill, we didn't get it until the 3rd request. Soon after food was served, server asked for payment. And soon after payment was made, service disappeared along with condiments. Tactics to get people to leave? And not linger around?

Per recommendations and reviews, this was my first Bak Kut Teh here in Singapore. First off, It's nice that there is the corner restaurant and the one a few doors down. The corner one was busy so I went to the one that was indoors and was greeted by the person working the queue. It was still busy but lucky me it was less than 5 minutes wait since it was toward the end of lunch. Also, there was AC which was a nice break from the heat and while eating. I ordered while I was waiting so the service was extra quick! I had a bowl of Bak Kut Teh and Kai Lan. The soup was good but I found it was quite peppery. The meat was flavorful, tender, and fell off the bone. I initially thought there wasn't enough soup but they come around and top up your bowl with hot soup after you've eaten a rib so there's more room; definitely a plus. Also, give it a try and taste the meat with the condiments provided. Overall the service and people were nice, food came quickly, and it was flavorful and tender. Also the conscientious location is also a plus. Tip1: Try to go during off peak hours so you have a shorter queue Tip2: I believe it is cash only so be sure you have some on you. You pay once you get your food at your table

Very cozy feeling when you walk into the store. Definitely recommend trying their items on the menu with the stars. I got the traditional Pork Bak Kuh Teh and I absolutely loved it. I'm usually not the type to order soup when I go out to eat because I'm scared it won't be flavorable. However, Song FA definitely is a Michelin Star worthy restaurant. It was so delicious that we bought their packed soup base to bring back home to make.

I have never had such a bad experience at any place except for this one ! First of all, my 70-odd mother and eight-year-old son waited at the door for a long time. Finally, the shop boy asked us if we had ordered it. Do you have a number? We said we'd just given the menu, no number, and no one asked us to order, and he didn't care. He said, 'You can't do this! And then he just skip us and take the people in the back.' I hurried to ask another shop assistant in the queue, explaining the situation, we have a small family of three people will not be stuttering, cut in line / cheating! that the man was reasonable, after arranging the group of guests in his hands, we got to order food, and order number. When the food is ready, we'll order a small serving of bone tea and premium bone soup. The soup is too little, the shop originally has the service of free refill the soup, however we have to call three times, and to wait for a long time, and the attitude of the service staff is particularly unfriendly! I also asked the waiter if he had any tissue paper. A waiter replied in a very bad tone: The wipes are already on your desk! I said I was asking for dry tissues, and she answered impatiently for three dollars a pack! I wonder why the staff here are all on gunpowder, I just asked the most common questions and asked the most basic questions. Why should they treat their customers this way? Even if it is well established restaurant , and long line at the door, they should also do his job and should not be a big bully! Besides, Singapore has tons of choices for good food, this one is definitely not good enough for me to swallow it! That's it! I'm not coming back here anymore! 做为资深吃货的我，从来没有在网上给任何一个商家如此差评的！这次真的要开戒了！首先，我七十多的妈和八岁的孩子在门口排了许久，终于轮到了，店小二问我们点了没有？有没有号码？我们说刚刚只给了菜单，没有号码，也没有人让我们点菜，他一副不以为然的表情，说你们这样不可以，就直接跳过我们，带后面的人进店。我忙去问在排队区的另外一个店小二，解释说明情况，这个人还算通情达理，看我们有老有小的一家三口也不会为口吃的，插队/骗人，在安排完他手上的那组客人后，总算是给我们点了菜，有了号码。等菜上了，我们叫一客小份的肉骨茶和premium 龙骨汤，老少三个分了一下，汤太少了，本店原本就有加汤的服务，可是我们三叫五叫等了很久，而且服务人员的态度特别不友好！吃饭中间我问服务员有没有纸巾，一个服务生也是口气很差地回我说：湿巾早就给你们放桌上了！我说我是在问干的纸巾，她又是不耐烦地回答要三块钱一包！我就纳闷儿了，这里的工作人员都是吃了枪药似的，开始没有给我们号码完全是他们的工作疏忽，而且做为顾客，我只是问了一下最普通的问题，提出最基本的要求，他们这些服务行业的凭什么要如此对待客人？就算是他老字号，名声大，门口大排长龙，也该本本份份做生意，不应该店大欺客吗！再说了，新加坡遍地都是美食，松发肉骨茶也就是还可以，但绝对没有好吃到我得忍气吞声受这份气！到此为止，我不会再来这里了！

If you like peppery (as opposed to herbal) bak kut teh, this is one of the best places in town. Popular with Asian tourists, who come by bus loads to savour this delicacy. In addition to the signature pork ribs, they also have pork kidney, large and small pork intestines, chicken feet, tofu skin, pork belly. The wait can be up to an hour, in spite of them having two outlets almost next door to each other. Occasionally, you see a hardcore Caucasian customer (more typically adventurous backpacker types rather than conservative bankers of lawyers), but rarely South Asian ones and almost never Middle Eastern ones.

Three things I love about this place: 1. Open early. I like to eat lunch early, like right at 11am sometimes. Some hawker stands are not even serving food at 11am, but his place is always open and ready for me 2. Fast service. Food is served in 5 minutes or less and you pay when the food is served - no need to chase done the waitstaff to pay after your meal. I wish more places did this. 3. Simple, delicious food. The food tastes fresh, with simple clean flavors. A lot of food in SE Asia includes tons of spice, which can be overwhelming meal after meal. The flavors here are much more subtle, providing a nice change. Furthermore this is one of the few places I've found in Singapore where it's easy to eat low-carb/slow-carb, just go sans rice! And the price is right! Large soup S$9, side of veggies S$4. Highly recommend!

Bak kut teh is nice and peppery, just right with the amount of pepper to not make it too bland or too spicy, delicious!

Bak Kut Teh is one of those dishes that inspire a sense of heritage and at the same time could be a hot topic to debate over the style and where is the best. Now, I am not claiming to be an expert by any means, but Song Fa is producing a pretty impressive teocheow version that I would go back for more. The flavors are simple: Pork ribs slowly cooked in a light pepper and garlic broth. Yet when you have the first sip of the broth, you realize you are having something far more complicated. The flavor is clean and to the point, yet the layers that develop make you keep sipping till you forget that there are pork ribs to enjoy. The pork was tender and at that point where it was still just about to fall of the bone, yet not quite pliable where it became difficult to eat. The side dish options are pretty respectable and give that nice balance of flavor that you end up craving. Service was quick and efficient. As you wait in the line, be prepared to order, because the your dishes will arrive as soon as your butt hits the chair/stool. There is an efficiency to their process and you will be quick to enjoy your dishes, while helping them keep their line moving. Definitely would go back! It's quick service, nice location, and pretty impressive dishes make me a fan.
