Han's Bak Kut Teh



Established since 1963, it's one of the commanding food stalls here in East Coast Lagoon Food Village.


You can still see a steady queue at 韩家肉骨茶 stall during this late lunch hour of 2pm!

In spite of its name, its Bak Kut Teh (pork ribs soup) fares only average. The main attraction here is its Pork Leg (Pig's Trotters), 红焖猪脚 - A guaranteed item on every customer's order list here.


Braised Pork Leg, Pork Rib Soup, Braised Taupok & Vegetables, with 2 rice ($14.50)

The trotter exudes a lovely smoky sense and is well stewed to a delicious gooey tenderness in premium rich soy, garlic and spices.

With the juiciest stewed meat and softest skin, tendon, muscles and fat, this dish is certainly worth your occasional indulgence however health conscious you are.

You may request for a leaner portion but that defeat the purposes of eating trotters right? We are on a fatty quest :)
Oh, and for fats that simply melts in the mouth; i couldn't quit this. Couldn't resist mixing my rice with spoonfuls of the rich and oil-laden black soy gravy - helplessly sinful!
