For those who like a subtle bak kut teh broth, they will like Song Fa’s BKT, but I personally prefer a more richer and peppery taste. 😌
The meat of the Prime Spare Ribs was fork tender but pretty tasteless after being boiled for so long. The thick dark soy sauce provided was a bit weird to me for dipping sauce. 😓
They refill your soup which is a nice touch. Overall friendly staff and clean environment contributed a positive dining experience. 🙂

This is one of Singapore’s most famous bak kut teh spots, so I had to try it for myself.
Every outlet draws a crowd — I waited about 20–30 minutes in line alone. Luckily, I’d placed my order in advance, so the dishes came out quickly once I got a seat.
The soup was rich, fragrant, and packed with flavor. It had quite a peppery kick, but still within my comfort zone. The pork ribs were tender and tasty, and I loved that you could get unlimited soup refills.
It’s always busy, so I didn’t expect much in terms of ambience, but the service was friendly and efficient enough.

Venue: in a busy shopping mall. Very packed. Noisy. Air-conditioned. Causal setting. All utensils and seasonings are already available at each table. There is a tap for brewing tea at our table. No queue when we came at 6pm on Thursday night. --- 7.3/10
Service: to be seated, then servers provided wet tissue and menu for us soon. Order at the table (needed to flag them). Order v8a QR code in the queue at rush hours. Food served very fast together, but faster than beverages. Only gave us one disposable glove for 4 people and 2 bowls of big ribs soup. Asked to refill soup once, then refill 2 more times automatically. Pay at the cashier before you leave. --- 7.1/10
F&B: normal portion. Reasonable prices. Soup with pepper flavor but not too strong.

The food taste is consistent. I liked the service here. Waitress very courteous and proactive. Came here with 2 persons but only ordered 1 bowl of rice, the waitress gave us empty bowl without being asked. And they proactively refill the soup..
First class service..

To be honest this outlet serves better food than other songfa outlets. If you eat at songfa regularly like me you will notice a slight difference. The ngo hio is tastier and more tender and smaller in size which is easier to eat. There is a refreshing yuzu drink too which some outlets don’t have. The you tiao is more crispy than other outlets. There is a seafood youtiao which is outlet exclusive but sold out when I got there. Recommended. Long Q though so beware.
