Song Fa Bak Kut Teh

I've mentioned that work's been absolutely crazy, so I was really annoyed when I had to take time out to pop by the society to cast my vote for something that I honestly couldn't care any less about. If not for the $500(!) penalty liable to people who fail to vote without a valid reason, I wouldn't have taken the trouble to go down. I guess that's why they made voting compulsory, very few would vote otherwise. Honestly, I didn't know who was in the running and didn't quite care to know. Even if the society wanted greater participation of members in the vote, I felt they could have held the election over a couple of days. Not everyone was THAT free on THAT ONE particular day to go down to vote. Or else, allow the use of proxies.

Anyway, Mr J and I went down to Song Fa, a bak kut teh place nearby the society. Apparently, The Professor likes to patronise this shop. We each got the Pork Ribs Soup ($6 for small). I liked that they used the long ribs for all of their soups (some places only give you the long ribs if you pay the premium price). The ribs were tender enough, and the soup was sufficiently peppery and rich in pork bone essence, but it didn't exactly blow me away. Still, in comparison to some other bak kut teh places, this was relatively cheap and value-for-money.


Mr J got a portion of the Salted Vegetables ($1.20) which were crunchy and tart. It cut through the richness of the pork rib soup.


I liked the tasty Braised Beancurd Skin ($3.50 for small), with the soy braising sauce seeped well into the slightly chewy and soft skin.

I stumbled upon your blog wile searching for Ba Ku teh. Do you happen to have any idea where to get good dry Ba Ku Teh. Most of the places I go the Ba ku teh is very dry.

Hi Mutusamy, I'm not sure what you mean by "dry bak kut teh". Bak kut teh is usually stewed over a long period of time and served in a soup, so it's best that the pork ribs are moist and tender. I haven't encountered bak kut teh that's not served in a soup.
