There is much hype built around this Bak Kut Teh outlet so Makan Boy and I ventured down to this pretty ulu place and gosh.. it was so packed and busy even after dinner hours when we reached at about 9+!
 |
| Really good business |
 |
| Almost all are foreign workers |
 |
| Bowls stacked till like that.. hygienic mah..? |
The moment you are seated, the staff immediately serves you the fried dough stick and utensils. Quick service I must say.
 |
| Dough stick ($2) |
However, the dough stick was soggy and cold. Not nice leh.
 |
| Only if you've ordered tea |
 |
| The feast starts! |
Waiting time was really short since most of these items were cooked beforehand!
 |
| Mee Sua ($1.50) |
Their mee sua wasn't exceptionally tasty but at least it was a refreshing choice to eat with bak kut teh. Would have loved the mee sua more if it was stickier because their version tasted just like normal thin beehoon boiled with soup.
 |
| Braised Pig Trotter ($6) |
Their braised pig trotters are actually pretty nice but we ticked the fat option therefore the trotters came with almost ONLY fats which I didn't enjoy. LOL. Both of us were thinking the lean option would have definitely been a better choice.
 |
| Braised Pig Intestine ($6) |
I really enjoyed the pig intestines! Soft and very well braised but slightly overpriced.
 |
| Salted Vegetable ($2) |
Nothing spectacular about their salted vegetable but I like saltish food hehe..
 |
| Spare ribs soup ($7) |
 |
| Porb Ribs Soup ($6) |
At one glance, we immediately felt overcharged for such little spare ribs. Between the spare ribs and pork ribs, I could not taste any difference in terms of the meat texture thus pork ribs would be of more value since there's more flesh. Their soup is also very peppery but it gets quite shiok as you down one bowl after another.
 |
| Lotsa pepper in the soup's residue but very addictive for me! |
 |
| Non stop refills! |
Overall, Ya Hua is slightly overpriced as the quantity of pork/spare ribs wasn't fantastic. However, they have really good service here as the staff are attentive to make sure the delicious peppery soup is refilled constantly (which kinda makes up for the pricey items)!
Personally, Bak Kut Teh is best eaten when it's a rainy cold day. =D
