Food Review: Soon Huat Bak Kut Teh (Kovan)
11:45:00
Soon Huat Bak Kut Teh is a business of second chances. It was started in April 2013 with staff mainly consisting of ex-offenders (90% of our staff strength are from ex-offenders), as Soon Huat embraces a vision to give ex-offenders and former drug-abusers a second chance to begin their lives anew with a meaningful career.
Many of the staff in Soon Huat were hard-core criminals. Some are homeless, some have been involved in robbery and theft, whilst others participated in drug trafficking. Yet they share the same goal; to break away from their past destructive lifestyles and to start over. In Soon Huat they discover their chance to achieve that goal.
The founder/main chef of Soon Huat is himself an ex-convict. He was inspired by the transformed lives of other ex-convicts, together with a strong determination to change his life after 13 years of regular prison sentences, due to drug related offences. Therefore, he gave himself a second chance during his last term in prison.
Having started as a kitchen porter in Changi prison with no former training of any kind, Soon Huat's founder soon became the main chef, due to his outstanding cooking skills.

Bak Kut Teh - $6
Pork Ribs, Enokitake, pork liver, pork stomach, beancurd skin, veggie.
The herbal broth wasn't that flavorful and aromatic. It was lacking of spices. But the portion of ingredients was quite generous.
Taste: 1.5/5
Braised Pork Trotter - $6
The braised pork trotter wasn't that fantastic. Although the meat was tender and the skin are smooth and chewy but the braised gravy was lacking of spices too as it was quite bland.
Taste: 1/5
Overall, The bak kut tee wasn't that fantastic but it worth a visit.
