Song Fa Bak Kut Teh (New Bridge Road)

Much has changed since Mr Yeo started selling bak kut teh from his pushcart in Johor Road back in the late ’60s – nowadays it’s the second generation of the family who are running the show. They are still selling their celebrated pork ribs and peppery broth but are now doing so from 10+ shops – and this one, the simplest, seems to be the best. Queue, order, pay, and then tuck into your soup – when you’ve finished they’ll top it up for you.
