Lunch today was at Geyland Road’s Leong Kee Klang Bakut Teh.
We were apprehensive at first as we turned up before its opening hours (11am). Will the soup be too bland? Will the pork ribs be too chewy? Perhaps we should have turned up late afternoon so that the soup would have simmered long enough.
So what’s the verdict?
One of the best Bakut Teh we have tasted so far (“better than Sin Ming Drive’s”, snowy daddy scoffs). The soup has just the right herbal tones (not peppery, not too bitter from the herbs). Most importantly, it was served pipping hot! There were about 5 pieces of pork ribs, served with beancurd skin and lettuce. The ribs though small in servings, had meat that just slides off the bone effortlessly ($5.50). The Giam Chye ($1) was a bit spicy, but very appetizingly sweet-and-salty. You tiao ($1) was fresh, browned, crispy and sweetish. Tao Pok ($1) was cut to squares, served floating in a blander version of the soup.
For 2 persons (ordered small soup, 2 rice), the bill came up to $9.50.
It’s value for money and a must try!
Tip: Park in Geylang Lor 13, or along main street of Geylang Road.
