Outram Park Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh @ Havelock Rd

 Singaporeans love our Bak Kut Teh and that possibly is no secret by now.


 

I was not aware that this outlet is similar to the one near PSA, not that it mattered anyway.



The place is packed – a gauge of how carnivorous the nation is. Expect no frills yet prompt service – a largely Chinese crowd and mostly, men. I could be wrong about men being more of a carnivore than women.

Bak Kut Teh ($6)

Black pepper soup is what this has, instead of the other personal favourite of herbal soup. Mildly peppery, the portion is small. The companion needed to have two bowls to even satisfy hunger, not even be full. The pork pieces were barely flavoured, a tad bland and tough. Miles off from Song Fa. What annoyed me most was the obviously watered down soy sauce and barely fiery sliced chilli.

Spinach

These were swimming in vegetable soup, tasty at least.

Tau Pok

Piping hot and decently so.

Seaweed and Mushroom Soup

This looked like an entire can of mushrooms was emptied into it – value for money I suppose.

Severely disappointed with the quality of food dished up – back to the hunt for best Bak Kut Teh!
