Bakut Teh - A Farewell lunch

Our dear friend, colleague and fellow makan (Foodie) partner Eugene Lin is going back to Taiwan after 3 years in Singapore. So what is the best way to give this good guy a thing to remember from Singapore? What else ..... FOOD!!!

We have debated over lunch on what to eat to pay tribute on his years of contribution to the MSD business and of course to the Singapore hawker and coffee shop business. In the end all agree that a good local food Bakut Teh which he will not be able to find in Taiwan. Up north everybody vote for a Bakut Teh at Marsiling and we arrive at the place around 12:30pm where the place is running on full capacity luckily we quickly manage to secure a large table to sit 13 hungry people.

The place is what I would say a typical Singapore coffee shop with a nice acacia trees surrounding the place that makes it a bit cooler on the particular time of the day. I would say the weather is definitely on our side as we prepare to indulge on an overdose of Bakut Teh.
Our Food master Yong take the skillful ordering of three (3) big claypots of Bakut Teh plus all the veggies, condiments and another two (2) small pots of stew pork. Our order doesn't take that long and in a few minutes the auntie came with a steaming claypot of Bakut Teh ....Yummy!!!







Immediately all of us dig in to the hot pot of Bakut Teh on a bowl of white steam rice while the auntie continue to top up our Bakut Teh soup. The Bakut Teh consist of Pork Spare ribs, pork intestine, liver, mushroom top with a fresh local lettuce. Eugene is definitely enjoying his food and I would say what a good way to part with a friend and colleague who have given a thumbs up on Singapore local food !!!!



Literally this is not a farewell but a best wishes to Eugene and his family. We will definitely see each other again either in Singapore, Taiwan or in any other parts of the world as we continue our quest for the best food and place to eat...Goodluck and Take Care !!!
