Backdated post. Actual event took place on 24 September 2006.
Right after our crazy shopping, we head home to rest a while and get ready for Bak Kut Teh.
Denise (my sister) recommended this place.
According to her, the Bak Kut Teh here is special and different from what we normally have.
So me and Nicole is dying to see how different it is.
We went to pick up Jason (my sister’s bf) and head straight to the dinner place.
We reach Restoran Se Hua Bak Kut Teh, that is the place I am going to but somehow I got lost since I wasn’t paying attention and was busy chatting.
Me and Nicole left the ordering task to Jason and my sis since they recommended the place.
It was a good place and trust me, come early or else we would have to wait for like hours before we get a seat.
My sister ordered their signature Pork Ribs Bak Kut Teh, which actually comes in a much clearer soup than the normal Bak Kut Teh.
It really tasted a little different from the normal ones we had.
Unlike the Bak Kut Teh that we normally have which are normally darker in colour and are thicker in consistency, this one is rather clear, not too thick and somehow I find this a little sweeter.
Since we ordered pork ribs, it has less fat, more meat.
The only downside to this dish was its preparation time. The dish needs around 30 mins to prepare, so if you are super hungry, do order other sides or food while waiting.
Besides ordering their signature Bak Kut Teh, we ordered other dishes like Pork Stomach in Black Pepper Soup, Steam Fish Head with Ginger Sauce and a plate of Lettuce with Oyster Sauce to balance our meaty meal.
The steam fish was rather disappointing for the day, but at least the owner own up to it and came apologizing before we even make a complain.
He noted that their fridge is having some problem which resulted in lowering the quality of the steam fish.
And because of that, he gave us a discount 😉. How sweet!
