Kedai Good Taste Bak Kut Teh has more choices, besides prawn, pork rib and fish ball, you can also choose cuttlefish, fish fillet and fried tofu with Bak kut teh.
The taste of Chinese herbs in Bak kut teh is much stronger, some people may not accept it, except Choumeizai. The cuttlefish and fish fillet are not fresh, not so tasty.
Fried tofu is the most tasty since its texture is similar to sponge which absorbs the essence of the broth. The service of Kedai Good Taste Bak Kut Teh is better and the price of the food is also cheaper.
