Established in 1969, Song Fa Bak Kut Teh started out as a pushcart stall along Johor Road and has grown to become a chain of restaurants.

Its founder, Yeo Eng Song, started out in the food scene when he was 19 and his first job was at a zichar stall. At 21, he opened his own stall selling pork rib soup and braised pig’s trotters, which eventually became the Song Fa Bak Kut we know and love today. In 1975, he moved to a permanent store within a coffeeshop along Victoria Street.

After years of helming the business, he finally passed down the store to his three children, Hart Pong, Zhi Yong and Diana, who have been helping him out since they were children. They have even expanded out of our little red dot, and asides from the 10 outlets in Singapore, they also have 7 outlets in Indonesia, 6 in China and 1 in Bangkok.

Their Michelin Bib Gourmand title is well-deserved and their bak kut teh has not failed me once.

While here, I got myself a bowl of pork ribs soup with a side of you tiao and rice. As it is a Teochew-style bak kut teh, one can expect the soup to be peppery, which it was. I like how the soup here was rich and concentrated without being too overwhelmingly peppery, and all the flavours were very nicely balanced. Most bak kut tehs i’ve eaten have pork ribs that are on the drier side, but the ones here at Song Fa have a good fat to meat ratio so each rib was tender with a good bite to it.

I also tried their braised pork belly. It was decent but do expect the braising sauce to be on the thicker end. I also was curious about the homemade seafood pancake and no regrets in order it, it was fantastic and crispy. Am already looking forward to my next trip back!
