Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut Teh

Ng Ah Sio is one of the most storied names in Singapore bak kut teh, tracing its roots to a 1950s pushcart and once famously visited by Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing. The Teochew-style soup is clear, garlicky and assertively peppery, built around tender loin ribs that come apart easily. It uses a premium cut and brews the broth fresh, so quality stays consistent even as the queues grow. Pair it with youtiao for dipping, braised peanuts, and bottomless soup refills. The Rangoon Road shop is the one to seek out for the full heritage experience.
