Old Tiong Bahru Bah Kut Teh

After exhausting all places to eat on a particularly busy weekend lunchtime, our Singapore relatives finally got down to taking us here instead, in Old Tiong Bahru Bah Kut Teh

Location: Within the Tiong Bahru streets, in Chinatown district

Setting: Typical Chinese restaurant, with real China girls as workers there
Atmosphere: 8/10 (very hustle-bustle, good patronage, even though it's already late into lunch hour and people still go for here)
Design: 6.5/10 (standard design, could use a bit more wider space)

We're eating for four, so the bulk of the food here includes:

Cha koi (oily breadsticks)

Broiled tofu skins

Broiled tofu strips

Pickled veggies

...and pig trotters

We ordered two kinds of bah kut teh, one with the innards (spare parts) and one with just the meat. Both of them are pretty similar, the only difference is that this is the first time we've seen bah kut teh served in white soup, because most of the time, the bah kut teh we ate were dark and black in colour due to the herbs, but looks like they cut out the herbs part


A pretty delicious place, and I would rate it an overall 7/10 for this, but it might just be a little dear to the wallet because when our relatives paid for it, they got very little change back, so yeah, even eating in regular kopitiam would cost you an arm and a limb in Singapore... -_-;;
