Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Song Fa Bak Kut Teh at New Bridge Road is a consistently popular spot, known for its peppery Teochew-style bak kut teh.

We see many commendations for the tender pork ribs and the robust, comforting broth, which offers unlimited refills.

The Premium Loin Soup is a standout, praised for its rich flavor without being overly salty.

Beyond the bak kut teh, side dishes like the chicken feet and braised meats also receive positive mentions, as does the refreshing lychee drink.

While the restaurant is frequently crowded, leading to queues, the staff are often described as friendly and efficient in managing the flow.

We think this is a reliable choice for a satisfying bak kut teh experience, particularly if you appreciate a strong peppery kick.

Best for those who don't mind a wait, or can plan their visit strategically.

Skip the peak-hour rush by arriving before 11:15 AM.
