My friends and I heard about another popular dish in Singapore called the Bak Ku Teh. It is a pork rib soup filled with strong and delicious herbs and spices. One Saturday afternoon, we headed to Rangoon Road to test this dish. We chose one of the most popular Bak Ku Teh branch in Singapore. The locals say if you want to try Bak Kuh The, go to Founder. Bak Ku Teh is usually a breakfast meal but we decided to have some in a late Saturday afternoon anyway.
After a few directions given by our google map app, we found Founder Bak Kuh Teh in Rangoon.
The place was packed with people. We were given a table outside. The restaurant wall is filled with pictures of (I assume) famous people together with Mr. Founder himself.
With the help of a very nice waitress in the restaurant, we ordered 3 Bak Kuh Teh, 1 Pig Trotter and Sautéed Vegetables.

Don't let this simple looking soup fool you. This soup packs a mean yummy punch! We all love it! It has a strong delicious taste but not too herbally to put us off. It has a bit of a sourish to mild spicy taste in it. It reminds us of our own Kansi in Iloilo but with thicker soup. The ribs was tender and tasty too.If you have slurp up most of your soup, the waitresses would be willing to serve you more (free) soup. Yes, kaldo, hehe. We ate the Bak Kuh The with rice, of course. It also comes with you tiao, a fried dough, to dip in your Bak Kuh Teh.

We also love the pig trotter. It reminds us of the patatim in Iloilo. It is perfect when dipped in their spicy soy sauce.

The meat was so tender. We are sure they might have the meat boiled for very long hours. We didn't even have to wrestled with out spoons and forks to shred the meat. It has a mildly sweet sauce and a serving enough for a group of five, even six.
We got sautéed vegetables to counteract the flavors of the Bak Kuh Teh and Pig Trotter. It was surprisingly good. And it perfectly neutralized the strong taste of the two dishes.

We were very satisfied with the Bak Kuh Teh at Founder. I will definitely take my husband and sister there again.
Any other Bak Kuh Teh in Singapore you can recommend for me?
