Song Fa Bak Kut Teh 松发肉骨茶

We had this bak kut teh 2 weeks ago but did not post until now because we lost some of the photos in between last post and this one. We wanted to post in a chronological way that's why we delayed this. Unfortunately, we still cannot find them. =(

Initially L and I wanted to revisit the "Fisherman" fish and chips restaurant in the building across the street, but after we crossed over from Central (legally via traffic lights), this bak kut teh shop just appeared suddenly on our right and changed our mind.

This building opposite Central @ Clark Quay is where a handful of food shops and restaurants reside inconspicuously. The promising Song Fa Bak Kut Teh is located at the better corner of the building which I would think is a prime location, or we would not have patronised it.



I was particularly impressed by the enthusiasism of the staff there who were all young people. The concept of having young adults serving up a traditional and Ah-Pek (old uncle) gave new life to the place (intentionally or not).

The Bak Kut Teh here is the average nice-to-eat, and the average good-value-for-price. It's more like a furnished kopitiam than a restaurant but it was cool enough to enjoy without sweating all over. You also get the usual "free flow" of Teh. Nothing special, but at least it's an enjoyable experience. We actually sat there and chit chatted away.



More and more people came as the time passes and soon the place is filled with office workers coming after work and foreigners trying out the "exotic" delicacy. So we can tell it's a popular place afterall.
