OUR REVIEW ON KOK SEN SINGAPORE
Dining at Kok Sen, tucked inside Amoy Street’s buzzing hawker centre, was a nostalgic journey back to old-school Singaporean bak kut teh. I arrived just after it opened, and already, the scent of simmering herbs and tender pork ribs pulled me in. I ordered the small bowl of Signature Bak Kut Teh with a side of chewy youtiao and rice, and it hit all the right notes: salty, peppery broth, fatty meat falling off the bone, and that signature garlic punch that warms you from the inside out. What surprised me most was the velvety clarity of the soup—it never felt greasy, just deeply savoury, with a subtle reminder of traditional home-cooked flavour.
The ambiance, while casual, felt welcoming. Wooden stools, communal tables, and the bustle of hawker life made the meal feel genuine and grounded. I had the bonus of chatting with a friendly auntie who topped up my soup and shared how the vendor ages their black pepper for a richer taste. It’s a simple touch—no fancy plating, just hearty bowls brimming with authenticity. Add in glass bottles of chilled Sarsi and dried chili bites, and you’ve got a comforting hawker meal that hits the spot any time. For anyone craving that classic bak kut teh experience in a no-nonsense yet heartwarming setting, Kok Sen delivers in spades—and I’ll definitely be heading back for seconds.
