There a new Bak Kut Teh store recently opened at the basement of Clementi Mall.
New Manlee Bak Kut Teh is franchised from Kuala Lumper, Malaysia which was established over 40 years. "Bak Kut Teh" (肉骨茶) is an aromatic soup with a choice of pork spare ribs, lean meat, pork stomach or pork belly meat slow-cooked and flavoured with garlic and other spices. "New Manlee" serves two versions of this dish - Singapore style white peppery soup and Malaysia style black herbal soup. Other items on the menu include a dry bak kut teh dish and braised pork trotters. Side dishes include the ubiquitous dough fritters and salted vegetables.*

Left: Black Herbal Soup (Malaysia-Style)
Right: White Peppery Soup (Singapore-Style)
I prefer the white peppery soup. The black herbal soup's herbal smell is too strong for my liking. I didn't manage to talk a photo of the dough fritters. The dough fritters is very crispy and not too oily.
Dry Udon
The dry udon is sooo good! It is very fragrant as they fry the udon in onion oil and add some of the fried onion on top of the dish. The only downside is that the portion is so small!
Overall, I think I enjoy the dry udon more than then the bak kut teh. May go back for the dry udon hehe.
