If you need a hug, this cult-status eatery delivers with its bak kut teh. Literally 'meat bone tea', it's a soothing concoction of fleshy pork ribs simmered in a peppery broth of herbs, spices and whole garlic cloves. The ribs are sublimely soft, sweet and melt-in-the-mouth, and staff will happily refill your bowl with broth. Finish with a pot of Pek Sin Choon tea.
Be in by 11.45am at lunch or before 7pm at dinner or else head to the back of the queue.
