Imperial Bak Kut Teh, Circular Road

Now, this bento styled serving from Imperial Bak Kut Teh (90 Circular Road) was certainly quite the unique thing, if not gimmicky in appearance. On the other hand, the bento boxes does serve to actually portion the sides that come with their meal sets. These guys apparently used to do delivery of their food and offer discounts for NTU students, but it seems that the delivery options are no longer available now. The rendition of the soup here contains a noticeable touch of herbal sweetness and a generous amount of pepper. There wasn't so much of the garlic flavor and in the end, it was quite acceptable, if not the preferred type that I like. The cost of one of these bento based sets was rather affordable and comes with what you see (salted vegetables, tau pok, tau kee and some cut up chewy dough fritters) and a bowl of the pork ribs with soup which is refillable.

I must say that the tender meat on the ribs were cooked well to the point where they slid of the bone quite easily though I would have preferred the size of them to be much bigger. The tau kee (dried bean curd sheets) was great in that dark sauce.

Unfortunately, they didn't seem to have the large boned prime rib that I like and were also out of those braised intestines which looked like they could have been pretty good as well.
