The Old World Bak Kut Teh shop has shifted from Blk 747 pretty close to the MRT to the current premise at Blk 732 (732 Yishun Ave 5, #01-380, tel : +65 9388 5288) where the old Botak Jones in Yishun used to be. These were from a couple of visits.
Pork ribs are still pretty tender and easily slipped off the bone. So after having the broth a few times, I conclude that they're just not as intense or as peppery as I generally prefer some others. Like I've previously mentioned, not a deal breaker. Price was reasonable for 3 pretty meaty ribs.
If you're still reeling from the first picture on top, the pork ribs were also good with the garlicky/lime-y green chilli sauce which is also available at their pork soup outfit, Old Village.
Braised eggs. Nothing out of the ordinary.
What's different about their pickled mustard greens was that they're served chilled. I love these with the dark soya sauce/sliced chilli on rice.
Not bad tau kwa.
Crispy you tiao to dunk in the bak kut teh broth. These were a little hard/crunchy. Only good as a sponge but I prefer those airy/bread-y ones that I used to get at Old Street Bak Kut Teh.
One of the dishes I was looking forward to from Old World Bak Kut Teh was their seafood cheese bee hoon. There's a version with lobster which I didn't get. The creamy bee hoon was pretty rich tasting, cheesy and smoky at the same time. Also had a taste that reminded me of curry. Plenty of chopped up chunks of garlic in it as well. Nice this one.
Deep fried intestines (炸大肠) had different textures on both occasions we had them. The first time was harder and chewier. The second time had a good crisp and tender chewiness on the insides.
Braised sweet intestines (粉肠) were flavour infused from their braising broth, tender and lightly chewy. Not bad.
