Revisiting Tuan Yuan Pork Ribs Soup (团缘肉骨茶)

Tuan Yuan Pork Ribs Soup (团缘肉骨茶), Kim Tian Road

It's been a while since the last time I ate at Tuan Yuan.

Tuan Yuan Pork Ribs Soup (团缘肉骨茶), spare ribs

Tried their spare ribs today. Meat was fall off the bone tender and yet with that bit of bite to it in a peppery broth where one could specify the level of pepperiness. Not bad. Would have preferred if the chilli they had for their dark soya sauce to be the spicy type than the large and not spicy ones they use though.

Tuan Yuan Pork Ribs Soup (团缘肉骨茶), dough fritters 油条

Dough fritters to soak the peppery bak kut teh broth with.

Tuan Yuan Pork Ribs Soup (团缘肉骨茶), cai por omelette

A proper cai por omelette with cai por, nothing like the sub standard rendition we recently had at Lao You Ji.

Tuan Yuan Pork Ribs Soup (团缘肉骨茶), eggs

Braised eggs.

Tuan Yuan Pork Ribs Soup (团缘肉骨茶), lu rou fan

That's their lu rou fan (卤肉饭). The lu rou is richer, sweeter and has a stronger star anise flavour. I prefer lu rou to be more savoury. 

Tuan Yuan Pork Ribs Soup (团缘肉骨茶), kuey

Kuey was delicious with a discernible rice-y flavour. Gotta get more of this the next time we're here.
