This Bak Kut Teh spot comes highly recommended by a local hairdresser. While there is no signboard, it is commonly referred to as Channel U, as they were featured in a Singapore Channel U TV program in the past. You can spot a large Channel U poster inside the restaurant, located next to another BKT shop called Siang Hwa, and across from the Holiday Karimun Hotel. The staff, likely family members, are extremely friendly and provide excellent service. We tried both the soup and dry versions of the BKT, which included pig organs in addition to the pork ribs. Both versions were delicious, with the dry version a bit more flavorful. The total cost for two BKT dishes, one order of fried fritters (you tiao), one serving of rice, and one drink came to 108,000 rupiah, which is quite reasonable. While there are a few competing BKT spots nearby, this one was recommended for its minimal use of MSG. Highly recommended for a visit.

My order dried tea cake and butterflies, the dishes are served with a hot bowl to keep the dishes hot safely preserved so that it is not cold fast. I think this characteristic feature in this dining area. for my taste is quite tasty for his tea cake.

Very tasty bak kut teh, however bill for two was about 100k IDR- a little bit more than expected. Still, would recommend to visit.
