3. Hock Lai

Although many Bak Kut Teh restaurants offer both the soup and dry variations of Bak Kut Teh, the star of the restaurant is typically the soup Bak Kut Teh. However, this is not the case at Hock Lai.

With that said, the soup Bak Kut Teh at Hock Lai is worth a try too. Having a clear broth that is on the lighter side in terms of flavour intensity, it is sure to warm you up on a chilly day and is absolutely delectable when paired with Yar Char Kuai and a pot of Pu Er tea. In addition to its great flavour, the price of the Bak Kut Teh at Hock Lai is placed at an affordable rate, which makes it an excellent place to eat as a group.

4. Ah Her Bak Kut Teh

If you like your Bak Kut Teh broth on the more strong and intense side of the flavour spectrum, then Ah Her Bak Kut Teh would be your go-to. As Ah Her Bak Kut Teh prides themselves in serving rich broth, they only have a limited amount of broth, so, unfortunately, you wouldn’t get a lot of broth at this Bak Kut Teh restaurant. Though the owner could’ve easily diluted the soup with water to offer more servings of Bak Kut Teh soup, the owner refuses to do that, which goes to show their willingness in maintaining the quality of their broth. With that said, if you order an extra helping of rice, you may get lucky and get a refill of Bak Kut Teh broth! If you’re planning to visit this restaurant for dinner, do note that it is only open from 5.30 pm onwards for dinner.
