Bak Kut Teh lovers… I’ve got a question just for you! Are you loyal to Singapore and prefer the clear white pepper version? Or are you a traitor like me and prefer the dark herbal rendition from across the causeway? Well, if you’re torn between the 2, you should visit Black & White Bak Kut Teh at Sembawang— you can kill 2 birds with 1 stone!
The kopitiam stall officially opened to the public on 1 May 2023. It’s jointly opened by Peng Liang, a chef who hails from Johor Bahru, together with his 2 Singaporean friends, Darren and Mr Loh.
Peng Liang creates aromatic claypots of herbal bak kut teh using an age-old ancestral recipe which has existed for more than 40 years. With the help of Darren and Mr Loh, they have formulated and made tweaks to it to make it palatable for the Singaporean taste buds.
Before I proceed, the stall is offering a S$1 off promotion for all main dishes for all Sethlui.com readers till 31 May 2023; simply flash this article to be eligible.
The Claypot Herbal Bak Kut Teh has 2 sizes: S$6.90 for Small which is good enough for a single person and S$12.50 for Medium which is ideal for 2 to 3 pax.
If you prefer the spiciness of white pepper together with the fragrant notes of garlic, the Claypot Hog Maw & Pork Rib with White Pepper Soup (S$6.50) will do just the trick. If you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy innards, you can always replace the hog maw (pig’s stomach) with more pork ribs at no additional charge.
What better way to accompany your piping-hot claypots of bak kut teh than a side of crunchy and yummy You Tiao (S$0.60), Braised Fried Beancurd (S$1.50), and Classic Salted Vegetables (S$1.50)?
Not really a fan of bak kut teh? Not to worry, as you can also get other dishes such as Claypot Ancestral Braised Pig’s Trotters (S$6.50), Claypot Herbal Pork Belly Soup (S$6.90) and Claypot Savoury Chicken Drumstick (S$6.50) and order a steaming bowl of White Rice (S$0.80) to enjoy it with.
If you’re around the Sembawang area, be sure to drop by Black & White Bak Kut Teh and have a taste.
