Food Review: Go Local (Bak Kut Teh): Ya Hua x Song Fa x Founder
13:37:00
Hi my fellow readers. This week I am going to do something new. I will be doing a local food review . Will be targeting on "Bak Kut Teh" (肉骨茶).
There are three types of Bak Kut Teh in Singapore.
The Hokkien, who prefer saltier food, use more soy sauce resulting in a darker soup.
The Cantonese, with a soup-drinking culture, add medicinal herbs to create a stronger flavoured soup.
Let start off with this week first stop.
First Stop, Outram Park Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh.
Making a trip a down to Outram Park Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh with Eugene. We heard a lot of good reviews on ya hua bak Kut Teh, so we decided to make a trip down.
