Like the taste of the soup here, as it's hokkien style. The meat is also tender and the serving size is quite decent. The owner is also friendly. This is one of the places I will go for BKT.

A Michelin-recognised stall serving robust, dark herbal Hokkien-style bak kut teh with fall-off-the-bone pork ribs.
Hokkien Bak Kut Teh is one of the rare stalls keeping the heritage of dark, herbal Hokkien-style bak kut teh alive in Singapore. Unlike the more common Teochew peppery version, this soup is rich and deeply savoury—its near-black broth infused with herbs and quality dark soy sauce, with pork ribs slow-cooked until fall-off-the-bone tender.Based on 31 Google reviews

Bak kut teh was pretty good. The meat was soft, but otherwise average. The soup was quite flavourful and the herbal taste was obvious. …
Ken Chan
The Herbal soup was very tasty and very balanced (not too sweet)! Very generous portions of meat. Pig trotter was also big with a lot of meat! Liver and Kidney was also thick cut, which gave it a good bite and rich in taste, not the paper …
Food lover
The pork trotter is tender and flavourful. I prefer the not so lean cut so the meat is not tough.
Chaos Foo
