Singaporean Food - Amazing BAK KUT TEH in Singapore at Outram Park Yahua Rou Gu Cha!

[@scottmacwatters]

You could probably make a review system based on two things: * The tilt of Mark's head (in degrees) * the amount of time he's speechless after The noodles get maybe a 3/10 The broth and pork get a 7/10.

[@mohammadlone]

and that surprised face he sometimes makes, when you get the feeling he's happy but slightly disappointed by what he's eating!

[@peteT269]

+Scott MacWatters Nah, I'd say the pork gets a 6

[@MarkWiens]

+Scott MacWatters Hey Scott, I think you nailed it on the ratios, perfect!

[@ohsnapiffa]

Very true. haha. Mark, you need to be on TV doing street food shows! :D

[@TheMightsparrow]

:D Ha Ha Ha Ha

[@hlee2]

Studying in the States now and Bak Kut Teh is one of the food I sorely miss from Singapore. Just made a whole pot of Bak Kut Teh soup in my dorm! Thanks for the video Mark! :)

[@Jordantzd]

How to tell if mark enjoyed the dish: he closes his eyes slightly and droops to the side haha. Really satisfying to watch!

[@smutpow]

How is it that nobody told Mark to order the dough fritters and braised pork leg? Including the bak kut teh, its like the holy trinity of Singapore bak kut teh meal.

[@ashishxx]

No bad Mark Wiens video. Truly inspiring people to travel and eat.

[@MarkWiens]

+Ashish Kumar Jena Thank you Ashish

[@andrewr8364]

that facial expression, When you go big, genuine the flavour.. makes me smile every time.

[@Wahyunulikhwan]

7.19 "let me take another bite of the soup" 😂😂

[@araceligalolo2651]

Really miss singapore food.esp chicken rice and fried kwayteow.

[@seijoscha]

Hallo Mark and Ying!Grate Video agin !Simgle but satisfying dishes !

[@afminmuyan81]

One of my fav dish in Singapore.. Missing sg so much most especially their food❤️👍

[@le0nlah]

Hi mark! I'm from Singapore and I really enjoy your videos. You're being too kind with your feedbacks but I'm really happy you're enjoying yourself in Singapore! Have fun!

[@TC-lp8jx]

The light peppery type of Bak Kut Teh is the Teochew version of Bak Kut Teh. While the heavily spiced type of Bak Kut Teh is the Hokkien version of Bak Kut Teh.

[@lalnunlne]

I worked there for like 2 years. Bah kut teh is one of my favorites

[@Kenandgrat]

so pure!

[@achintha21]

i used to eat bak kut tej from here ,awasome chinese food .best place for bak kut teh in singapore !!

[@aaron11lee]

Mark, I like how you are always pronouncing names of Singaporean places and food with a thai accent haha!

[@MarkWiens]

+Aaron Lee Hey Aaron, haha, I know I do that, even in English I think!

[@22Dorothea]

Inspiring! That's what I thought while watching almost all of your videos. One request if I may: would really love to see a video on Ying, what food she picks and how she thinks about it, what her favorite kind of dish and so on. Just like yours. That would make a special edition I guess, since I know through the comments that I'm not the only one who wants to see her (and knows her a bit closer). Above all, you two are amazing! Best luck from Indonesia (and its Nasi Padang) 🙏😊

[@TrevorParkJones]

Looks like a simple yet very satisfying couple of dishes there! Very nice!!

[@MarkWiens]

+Trevor Jones Thanks Trevor.

[@ronnieleechinheng5882]

you should come here to Singapore

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

+Trevor Park Jones i think it's a dish that is friendly to the western palette , its a strong peppery soup ...niceeee

[@tonyapedraza180]

your videos make me smile because you love your food and surroundings so much. thank you

[@annecorey607]

It very good what you eating is very famous staple foods lots of Chinese herbs to cook in it l have eat there with my family in the pass when ever I go back to see my family, thank you. Mark very good video .

[@alexxvll1287]

Mark, come to Klang Malaysia and try another version of Bak kut teh here. I sure you will like it!

[@ProtonSega]

I know this comment is 2 years late, but this video only comes up as I'm searching for ideas on what to do with my bakkwa rotting in the fridge. Any ideas besides sandwiches. Anyway, talking about Bak Kut Teh, we've all heard about Malaysians' knee-jerk reaction from tasting Singaporean Bak Kut Teh for the first time. Let's just say, it's not a polite comment for the Singaporeans, and we'll leave it at that. Anyway, yes, Klang Bak Kut Teh is the definite way to go. As a matter of fact, if anyone can't brave the grueling road-raging drive to Klang, they can also visit their nearest Chinese herbs stores (in Malaysia, nowhere else) and ask for the magic mix. Or if you prefer, look for Klang Bak Kut Teh packets at your nearest convenience stores. Bak Kut Teh has become rich people's food these days, what with prices starting at 2X that of chicken rice. It makes sense to cook it at home.

[@KeoNz]

@@ProtonSega Nah, I would say Malaysian's herbal style is too strong and herbal in taste and not accepted by a large group of people. Most people would prefer Singapore's style of bak kut teh compared to Malaysia's.

[@ProtonSega]

@@KeoNz You should ask around. Look up: 福建 肉骨 茶 歷史 Read the top most Google result. Singaporean Bak Kut Teh is a somewhat bland dish, synonymous with Pig Stomach Soup with white pepper (胡椒豬肚湯). Evidently this version is Teochew style. Whereas the O.G. Klang (Hokkien) Style has all the good stuff. If you have something against herbs, then there are many Chinese dishes that you can't enjoy. And that's a pity.

[@KeoNz]

@protonsega1130 doesn't matter what you think. Fact is the Singaporean style BKT is world renowned and has opened up many branches overseas. This alone proves how popular it is compared to the Malaysia version which can't even get out of Malaysia.

[@luqmanharis6138]

the only thing mark loved at singapore

[@TrueArrow35]

I loved your reaction when the last bite of pork just slide right off the bone! Thank you for these videos Mark!

[@goodskill11]

Hello Mark :) This video makes me hungry as ever I remember :D I wish you and Ying do a cooking episode one of yours favourite dish! Greetings from Poland!

[@compal123]

Hi Mark , Welcome to Singapore !!!

[@eatersescapade8507]

Looks really delicious and tender! I miss Singapore..but hope to come there soon!!

[@sarahko1986]

Happy Valentines Day to you and Ming! 💌🎀❤️💟

[@MarkWiens]

+Sarah Ko Thank you Sarah, Happy Valentines Day to you as well!

[@PrasannaKumar03]

[@commot54]

+Prasanna Kumar Ming is Mark's Thai name I reckon lmao

[@chiaraippoliti]

Commo T Mark + Ying = Ming. LOL

[@Azusafied]

really loved that u visited us, ah hua used to be very popular, but over the ages they have changed hands and isn't as good as it used to be, though it is still not too bad. if you ever have a chance to come down to Singapore again, I would love to have the honour to bring you around town to try the best foods in singapore!

[@georgeloveseoul2362]

Mark.. awesome.. u tried more local Spore food than me.. a local Singaporean living here.. thks.. i will try them after u upload the video..

[@MarkWiens]

+george love seoul Thanks George

[@annecorey607]

I watch your videos every day. Thank you for posting them. Wish I could join you sampling all the great food.

[@foodie6043]

Looks delish as always! I bet bitter melon slices would enhance the pork soup. Bitter melon and pork compliment each other so well. Looking forward to more tasty food vlogs!

[@eatersescapade8507]

Really cool that you've mastered eating with chopsticks Mark Weins!

[@aplhx]

The bak kut teh at balestier is known to be one of the nicest ones in Singapore!! The pig trotter and the soup combine with the ingredients you can select is YUM + with all the side dishes definitely one of my favourite places to go!!:) this place has been visited by celebrities all over the world too!!

[@siempreamor5149]

Awesome video, all the dishes looked amazing and made me hungry. Thank you for the upload Mark & Ying. Happy Valentine's Day

[@MarkWiens]

+Siempre Milligan Thank you, Happy Valentines Day!

[@TomsBackwoods]

That was awesome Mark! I loved the joking around! I was smiling the hole video! I keep looking for authentic food near me!

[@guangmingchng]

Tried all bak kut teh i can find in SG. l still love the one open by the sibling over at havelock road. its also branded as Ya Hua, but without the outram.

[@xiangys4585]

+Guang Ming Chng Hi my friend , if you have free time to travel Klang,Malaysia welcome you :) try out the real wonderful bah kut teh at here

[@AO-iv6yr]

Mark knows how to eat. I approve as a Singaporean 🤗

[@wendywendy646]

For a better dipping sause. Mix: Chopped small green chilli, raw chopped garlic, fried garlic, light soya sauce and dark soya sauce. Will produce a best dipping sauce.

[@TanuKart]

This is my fav dish in Singapore. Very delicious.

[@TheMightsparrow]

Mark please show the Nasi lamak or Black pepper crab! they look AMAZING on your site.....

[@Lunarchords]

You guys should eat this dish with 'YouTiao' (chinese donut), when that donut like 'YouTiao' dips into that Bak Kut Teh, that itself is in a totally different level of deliciousness. These is also a different type of Bak Kut Tek that has brown color soup, it has a herbal taste to it and it is very different from the white pepper soup.

[@Gamer257]

I've been watching you since you had the pony tail. Haha it just gets better and better every time I watch. I am wondering though, do you sell migrationology hoodies? Keep up the quality work! It's better than many travel channel shows in my opinion (especially the recipes).

[@JABn4e]

I sure could tell you really really enjoyed that meal. Well done yet again. Keep on doing what you do. Both of you.

[@MarkWiens]

+JANICE BALL Thanks Janice!

[@mikeychen8337]

Cheers Mark! I am somewhat surprised knowing that you can pronounce "kecap manis" smoothly.. That made me smile..

[@felicityyap738]

I always like yr eating video. Tell a lots from Yr facial expression. 👍🏼👍🏼 so natural ....

[@danielboy7176]

Bah kuh teh is delicious some places sell dried bah kuh teh which i know they sell at malaysia i think at ipoh.I never tried it before but i heard people say then soup bah kuh teh.Its rou gu cha.Cha means tea in chinese.Rou is meat and gu means bone.Its translated pork bone tea i think.

[@ngkb1]

I'm from Singapore and it makes me happy when I watched this :D

[@ruthypie552]

Thats a Satisfying Dish.

[@Alvinistic]

Ah! I work at the office complex in the area. Shame I didn't know you were there. Nice video, Mark!

[@callumnivaasa]

[@ann-kathrinh6337]

hehe that last bite was great!

[@julianviernes3986]

I love watching these videos. Keep it up, man. Lots of Food Love ... Philippines

[@chenghengtan2105]

Mark you should come to Klang in Malaysia to try out all the hundreds of bak kut teh shops and tell us which one is the best

[@ginadelrosariomaamo8052]

I love how he went back to his words...so honest comment...

[@mwswzy]

Love bak Kut teh for a leisurely weekend breakfast!

[@danielngct]

Hi mark, Is quite expensive for a 36SGD.... in malaysia you get for a bowl of bak kut teh and rice and is only cost about RM10-15... depends which place to go... the best places to go for bak kut teh in malaysia is definitely in Klang, Selangor

[@Mayusuuchan]

Your videos always makes me smile :)

[@miss_warning]

OMG, just looking at the thumbnail made me drool XD If you ever come to Sabah, Malaysia, make sure to visit a restaurant called Seri Keningau in Putatan. Their Beef Bone Soup (Soup Tulang) is the best! I promise you that you will feel like your in heaven after you tried it! I have test it at other restaurants but non of them can compare to theirs! X3

[@danielong9870]

Hahaha! Loved this video, build upon some natural "jokes" when you least expected it to be! Especially the last part that u have eagerly waited to slowly chew on the pork bone but it just all slide out! :D Awesome, Mark!

[@elizabethwoldemariyam2010]

I Wonder how you say in shape by eating all this wonderful food. what is your secret for staying in shape. you made me hungry seeing you eat every time you post. thanks .enjoy it.

[@MarkWiens]

+Elsa efrem Hey Elsa, lots of walking!

[@gazzadazza8341]

Mark you always make me feel hungry 😩

[@MasouShizuka]

Wow that's my go-to place to eat bak kut teh.

[@bennychew1902]

Should try Malaysia Bak Kut Teh next

[@mikeychen8337]

Cheers, Mark! Btw, I was somewhat surprised knowing that you can pronounce "kecap manis" smoothly.. I smiled. :)

[@erkan2237]

that boiled pork looks so good 😝, btw this was a very entertaining vlogg 😃

[@MarkWiens]

+Erik Emmoth Thank you Erik!

[@twinbeauty91]

mark! you need to try the original real buk ket teh! which is in my home town malaysia klang! thats where it was born. the broth is meant to be dark and dip your meat in chopped garlic/chilli with dark and light soya..dip your broth with yao char kueh(long chinese donuts) you would not be disappointed! come to malaysia i will be there in march-april :)

[@chanelrose1660]

looks amazing Mark!

[@andyzhang1032]

had dinner at Songfa at least five times. great experience. servers are super friendly

[@sixfiend]

you forgot the fried dough fritters! every bak kut teh meals has to have them! they soak up the soup and become super tasty!

[@donnacopas9621]

Love pork fixed anyway. Meal looked wonderful! Thanks!

[@DoiPinoyAdventures]

let me grab something to eat while watching this.... this makes me hungry....

[@gornnorg9790]

The original way is to have a small tea ceremony liked chinese tea with the BKT.But not many BKT stalls have it anymore.

[@lalenglazo5802]

HELLOOOOOOO MARK! oh i was soooo jealous to see you taste that food for the gods! it is my fave among all the foods there in singapore, the bah kuh teh. i was so excited to see if you eat at the balliester road but its not, coz for me balliester bah kuh teh is the best, but anywayz,...its still bah kuh teh and its freakin' delicious!!! i can totally relate on your expression when you already tasted the soup hahahaha seems like i tasted it on my mouth too! lolerz!!! pls try to feature more food from singapore. how about eating at SPIZE! thankz!

[@ericsjaunirsjoekoer8535]

Klang Bak Kut Teh has meat in a herbal soup. There's soup and dry version. Yummy.

[@vole12]

Great videos thank you Mark . I never thought Chicken Rice could be so good till I went to Penang . I need to check out how simple boiled pork can be so good now .

[@jonbit0419]

Great video and More vlogs!!!

[@fangcooks5643]

Mark you definitely have to go to Tiong Bahru Food Centre!!! The rice cakes (chwee kwei), oyster omelette, pigs organ soup, chendol, ondeh ondeh and Cantonese roast meat rice are all worth trying. hope you're still there!

[@crumphil]

Mark, i hope you are going to do like a "30 things to do in Singapor" anyways, great work and thank you

[@MarkWiens]

+Phil Hey Phil, wasn't able to do that this trip, but will try to make a video of 25 foods.

[@animemastergirl]

Mark every bak ku teh place refills your soup! Haha

[@jennyp1806]

+animemastergirl not all of them

[@Sherms57]

+Jenny P most of it

[@huisi9snsd]

Normally I drink the soup and don't really like the meat though. Some place their meat are tough. The soup is the bomb

[@steveyks8997]

HaHaHappyXD if it's tough they overcooked it or the meat isn't fresh

[@huisi9snsd]

+Free Game Hacks nah actually they are overcooked. ITS JUST ME. Just that I don't like the fibres grains texture of meat. I don't like to chew on these kind of stuff. It gets stuck between my teeth very often. I chew on the big bulb of garlic that sometimes comes with the soup. I know I'm weird.

[@claudineng]

Seriously, go tot Bak Kut Teh in Malaysia. KL is a good place to start!

[@parkhailey8205]

u should go for bak khu te at song fa bak khu te near clarckey!!

[@DesJuniorLee]

hey mark, happy lunar new year. just a heads up, i believe you'd find malaysian variation of bak kut teh and a few other singaporean food a little different. Story has it that bak kut teh was created by labourers working at the ports loading and unloading trade items and amongst it was chinese herbs. it was these scrap herbs that was picked and boiled with bones as they couldnt afford much meats at that time. as to the location, many stories point to klang in malaysia as the origin but they are fee variation. singapore'a bkt is the peppery one, klang has a braised/stewy one, and kuala lumpur is known for the soupy herbal one. all eaten with rice/oil rice/yam rice

[@MarkWiens]

+DesJunior Lee Thank you for all the background information. There's so much history just in single dishes. Would love to sample the different varieties.

[@TheRoamingJhola]

I too went there yesterday . Simply loved the food in there. Have made a small video as well :)

[@Christie1]

Mahai from Singapore again, Knn

[@victree1]
