Tuan Yuan Pork Ribs Soup

Absolutely love this pork rib soup! The meat is premium quality… tender, flavourful, and melts in your mouth. The broth is rich and comforting, perfectly balance. What’s surprising is the fried dough. It might just be dough, but it’s crispyness and when the moment I dipped into the soup for few seconds, it soaks up all the flavours and becomes insanely delicious. Highly recommend if you want a comforting, hearty meal with top-notch ingredients!

I have not seen the owner in 18 years, but he looks familiar. And above all, the meat and bone tea is delicious. The restaurant was very popular among the locals and it took 45 minutes to wait for our order and 15 minutes for our food to arrive. The restaurant is very popular among the locals and the wait time was 45 minutes, and it took about 15 minutes for the food to arrive after ordering.

soups were thick and very peppery, comes in a rather small bowls (noted the unlimited refills) but the portions of the proteins were generous. ribs were a good mix of lean and fat, fall off the bone. pig stomach was well cleaned and chewy, lean meat slices were well marinated and tender too. on the pricier side of things, but reasonable for the quality of the soup and cook of the meat. however, sides were over priced considering the small servings, can give them a miss. would come back for the soups when in the area.

This place is superb!!!! Finally came to try this Bak Kut teh place for lunch. It’s really popular with famous celebrities and politicians. There is a reason why. It’s simply good food and an awesome place to have a meal. I love the premium pork rib bowl, the soup is flavourful and a must have is the oyster orh jian! Trust me!!!! Superb!!!!!

Service was great and the waiters were very attentive. However the portions were very small for the price and not much better than less famous stalls. The youtiao (fried dough fritters) were the exception as they were crispy and fresh. I wouldn't return and would instead visit other BKT shops. The biggest disappointment was the Kway Chap platter, $19++ for a few pieces of tofu, hard boiled eggs and meat is quite ridiculous.

Excellent bak kut teh. Just the right amount of peppery flavor. The soup was also very tasty while the pork ribs are soft but still retains a bite. It has an extensive menu so will need to come in a bigger group if you want to have other dishes apart from bak kut teh. The pig tails were also good. It can get a little noisy but its not a real issue as the food is good

First time dining here and the overall experience was ok. Food wise it was 3/5. Above average for sure but not wow or superb and quite expensive. Ordered the premium pork as I don’t really like lean meat and prefer it with some fat however it was a bit dry, lean and small considering the price. Definitely on an expensive side considering the portion. The you tiow was a bit soft for me. Prefer it fresh and crunchier. Soup wise it was ok, not too strong so doesn’t pack a punch.

Brunch at Tuan Yuan – A Comforting Teochew BKT Experience With the sun finally making an appearance, we seized the chance to head out before the school holidays ended. Our brunch destination? Tuan Yuan, a well-loved local brand known for its Teochew-style Bak Kut Teh (BKT). Just as our food arrived, the rain came down, adding to the cozy atmosphere. Luckily, it stopped just in time for us to move on to our next stop. Service was impressively quick, with minimal waiting even for freshly prepared dishes. The Highlights: Pai Gu Tang & Premium Pai Gu – We went with the standard version, choosing from three soup options: No Pepper, Standard, and Extra Pepper. The balance of pepperiness was just right—not overpowering but still delivering that signature warmth. We enjoyed multiple refills, making it extra comforting after the past few chilly days. You Tiao – A must-have when enjoying BKT! It arrived beautifully crunchy without being too hard. Soaking it in the broth? Absolute bliss for those who love it. For those who don’t… well, they might not get the hype! Kidney Soup – Generous portions of kidney, cooked perfectly without turning rubbery. Dry BKT – My first time trying the dry version, and I was eager to see how it compared. While it had a decent depth of flavor with a hint of cuttlefish, it didn’t quite pack the punch I was hoping for. Deep-Fried Hei Zoh – Served piping hot, these homemade prawn rolls were definitely worth the calories! Prawn Paste Chicken – If this were simply called crispy fried chicken, it would be among the best I’ve had. However, as a prawn paste chicken, it fell a little short—the prawn paste flavor was barely detectable. Sambal Kang Kong – Stir-fried with pork lard, this dish had a good amount of sambal and was cooked to perfection. La Mian Soup x2 – A comforting choice for the kids. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, made even better by the quick service and cozy ambiance. A perfect way to spend the day!

This place serves some of the best soup I've ever had! The Bak Kut Teh (pork ribs soup) was incredibly flavorful and paired perfectly with a side of deep-fried dough sticks to dip into the broth. We got a good variety of food, including some tasty veggies, and the braised Kway Chap set, which came with pork stomach, pork skin, pork belly, tofu skin, bean curd, egg, and kway teo soup. Everything was cooked perfectly and so satisfying. We ended the meal with a warm barley drink, which was a nice, comforting finish. The interior was clean, and the service was super fast. Overall, a fantastic meal!

Kindly and careful service, perfect and typical taste, Freshly made deep fried dough sticks! It's yummy

Very tasty bak kut teh. Service is quick and competent.

The best pork ribs soup in Singapore. I even bought their soup seasoning packages back to California for my family and they loved it.

moved to a nicer venue and also offering other dishes. the white peppery broth bak kut teh is complex and sophisticated here. very nice flavor and ribs. also had good chiuchow fish.

One of the best Bak Kut Teh you can find in Singapore. You can choose your soup to have more peppers too! The boss is also a very friendly guy that is always seen clearing up tables as well as serving up dishes and talking to the customers. Definitely recommend this place.
