Pepper-heavy bak kut teh stall at KINEX serving simmered pork rib soup with a robust, peppery broth.
Soon Huat Bak Kut Teh at KINEX serves the Singapore-style bak kut teh featuring a clear, peppery broth simmered with pork ribs, garlic, and white pepper. Unlike the darker, herbal Teochew version, the stall's broth is sharp and warming, carrying that distinctive white pepper kick that Singapore bak kut teh lovers seek out. It is a comforting option for those looking for a hearty, soupy meal in the Tanjong Katong area. The menu includes pork rib soup in various cuts alongside additional pork items such as pig stomach, kidney, and liver for offal enthusiasts. Each set comes with rice, fried dough fritters, and dark soy sauce with cut chilli for dipping. The broth is refillable, a welcome touch for diners who like to linger over their soup, and the side dishes of braised peanuts and salted vegetables round out the meal nicely. For bak kut teh that warms you from the inside out with its peppery punch, Soon Huat is a solid choice. Order the pork ribs, ask for broth refills, and let the soup do its comforting work.Operating Hours
