Signature Dishes
Meat rice with egg
Thai fragrant rice has distinct grains and is topped with a slightly runny half-cooked egg; the meat sauce is on the salty side and balances better with the light bak kut teh.
Bak kut teh with lamb ribs
The broth is light with a mild herbal note; the lamb ribs are tender and well-seasoned with little gaminess, but the overall flavor is not the rich, traditional bak kut teh style.
Mixed bak kut teh
The cabbage is sweet and the broth is refreshing rather than oily; the meat is tender and the portion is generous, with an overall profile closer to a light herbal rib soup.
