Hong Lim Bak Kut Teh

I was always a fan of Bak Kut Teh, be it the dark kind ( with soy sauce), the white kind ( Teochew style, white pepper) or the herbal 1..I am a big fan of Bak Kut Teh..Funny thing is I dun realli like pork but I eat Bak Kut Teh..

During our super early dating years, there was this once Mr Love's grandpa wanna eat Bak Kut Teh for breakie and the whole family met up at his favourite stall at Hong Lim market for breakie. I think I was onli with him for less than a yr and he told me to go along and meet his grandparents..Nearly fell of the chair when he asked me along..

丑媳妇总要见公婆, I decided to go along with his parents, bro n sis..It was the 1st time Mr Love formally introduce me to his extended family..His aunt and uncle aso came along..Faintz...Luckily for me, we sat at different table, so I onli need to smile and greet them and there goes our 1st meeting..whahha

But the Bak Kut Teh there, was realli good, I can understand y ah gong love it so much, and the boss is pretty generous with the serving and will keep topping up the soup...Over the years, on n off when we ran out of ideas of wat to eat for breakie, I would suggest to make a trip down to Chinatown juz to taste the Bak Kut Teh.. Going there means an hr of bus journey from either of our hse and thus we dun do this often..But I was disappointed when Hong Lim Market is closed for renovations last yr, worrying that the stall would not reopen following the renovations..

2 sundays back, a sudden craving came back again and we decided to make our way down to Chinatown to try our luck to find this stall, turns out that Hong Lim Market is reopen after the renovations..And guess what, the stall is still there at the original location!!whahaha

Sat down and had a hearty breakie, during which, it reminds me of the 1st meeting with this extended family..Years have passed, Ah ma is no longer with us, Ah Gong is having difficulty in walking, but still the taste of the Bak Kut Teh here remains the same..Told Mr Love that, we can try ta bao for Ah Gong to eat, but wonder will it taste good to travel frm there to Seng Kang where he is staying...

Nevertheless, this place holds a certain importance in my heart, for it is here, I formally met them for the 1st time ;)

The veri nice Bak Kut Teh tat we all loved.

I do not have the exact add but it is not diff to locate:
1st level of Hong Lim Market, corner stall nearest to Chinatown point.
Give it a try sometime...
