We haven't had Song Fa Bak Kut Teh for years. Not since the one near Clark Quay. Yes, it was that long ago. I remember not being impressed by their bak kut teh. But we have heard good things about them occasionally through the years and they did sound like a good idea in this recent cool weather. That and we wanted to find another go to after the last disappointing experience with the declining Old Street Bak Kut Teh. So we thought why not another chance?

These guys actually have a beer to their name now. That'll be Song Fa x The 1925 Brewing Co, the latter a local brewery, with the King's Garden Ale. What intrigued me about this brew was the chrysanthemum, oolong and green tea in it. Didn't taste very complex but I found myself liking the sweetish floral flavour.
We had slice pork tenderloin. These were really tender.
Not bad tasting fish in bak kut teh broth.
Pickled mustard which was a killer with their steamed rice.
Pretty decent braised chicken claw they did. Claws were fried well and braised to a slurp off the bone tenderness. Tau kee was also nice.
Tau pok wasn't bad too.
Not a fan of their dough fritters (油条) which were too crispy and hard.
That's braised pig intestines and pork belly. Not bad.
Needed some greens and kailan sounded good.
Gotta have rice with all those dishes. Like I said, those pickled mustard alone were good enough for me to inhale a bowl. The food was on the whole a lot more enjoyable than what I remembered of it from our last time. I guess it was a good idea that we gave it another chance.
