Legendary Bak Kut Teh: A taste that’s definitely legendary!

Opened in just October 2016 is this bak kut teh outlet which is seemingly new but is associated with arguably the biggest name when it comes to bak kut teh in Singapore: Founder Bak Kut Teh.

Legendary Bak Kut Teh is located along South Bridge Road and is run by Chua Chui Chui, the daughter of the original owner of Founder.

They changed the name from Founder to Legendary to differentiate both brands as Founder is now focused on expansion and franchising. At Legendary, they are opting to keep the operations small and family-run with a strong focus on the quality. Only Sarawak peppercorns and fresh (not frozen) Indonesian pork is used for their combo ($9.50). You can tell when you bite into the prime rib: the texture has a soft and bouncy texture. The soup robust with a distinct peppery character.

In addition to the usual sides like pork liver ($8), braised tau pok ($5/8/10) and kiam chye ($5/8/10), their signature braised pig’s trotter ($10/16/20) and ngoh hiang ($10/15) are must-tries. They have also introduced steamed fish head dishes in Hong Kong and Teochew styles to cater to large dinner family gatherings.
