Song Fa Bak Kut Teh (11 New Bridge Road)

This famous restaurant in Singapore is unique. The restaurant has two branches and is located close to each other, which provides diners with more choices. However, its popularity also leads to frequent queues, which shows how popular it is. I came a little late this time, and unfortunately many dishes were sold out, but fortunately the most distinctive Bak Kut Teh was still available. Bak Kut Teh is indeed very distinctive, with delicious soup and rich tea flavor, which makes people linger. The meat pieces are particularly large, and the crispy bones are even more fragrant. It is highly recommended to have a bowl per person and enjoy this unique delicacy. In addition, the braised pork trotters in the restaurant are similar to the Guangxi Long Pork Trotter Rice in China, with a soft and glutinous texture and full of fragrance. The casserole meat slices also have a unique flavor. In general, the Bak Kut Teh in this restaurant is worth a try. Although you may need to queue up and there may be a situation where the dishes are sold out, the unique taste will definitely make you feel that the trip is worthwhile.

Songfa is worth queuing for, and since it is a fast food, the queue is not long. It suits our taste very well, without the smell of Chinese medicine, and the soup can be refilled for free. The two children each had two bowls of rice and ate several pieces of ribs, saying that it was delicious.

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh is the Michelin Bib Gourmand listed eatery since 2014, located in New Bridge Road, Singapore. Most of the time crowds line up at this cozy eatery, known for its Bak Kut Teh with pork ribs & braised meats. Their Teochew style broth with pepper is above average.

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh is indeed a time-honored brand. There was still a queue at the door at 2 pm. There were quite a few of us and we waited for a big table for more than half an hour. We were so tired. But when we ate, everyone agreed that it was worth it! Credit cards and Alipay are accepted in the store. The ribs are stewed in broth, the soup is fresh and the meat is tender, fresh and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless. Especially the broth pork ribs, which cost 13.9 SGD per serving and are limited every day. When we arrived, there was only one left. But the regular version is also amazing, 9.9 SGD per serving. Unlike the Bak Kut Teh set meal at the food stalls, Song Fa’s braised food, fried dough sticks, side dishes, and rice are all ordered separately, and a 10[%] service charge and 7[%] tax are charged at the end [covering face]. Vegetables and meat are about the same price in Singapore. It is said that all vegetables are imported organically. A medium-sized vegetable costs 6.9 SGD. The five-spice meat roll is deep-fried bean curd wrapped with pork and shrimp, which is rich and fragrant but not greasy. The barbecued pork tastes just right, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry. The braised food platter is the standard of Bak Kut Teh. The tofu is delicious, but a foodie in my group likes the Bak Kut Teh broth the most, which tastes like pork tripe pepper soup. The soup is free and unlimited, and the foodie drank five bowls of soup in one go after finishing it.
