Founder Bak Kut Teh @ Rangoon

Founder Bak Kut Teh at Rangoon road is opened by the 2nd generation, the 2nd daughter of the founder.  Personally I have not tried the shop at Balestier hence unable to advise if the standard is maintained here.  However I will give a comparison among the few which I frequent.

Their menu is quite comprehensive with a few choices of the Bak Kut Teh,
1) Bak Kut Teh (S$6.50) - This is the normal Bak Kut Teh which uses the smaller rib bones of the pig's backbone.
2) Founder Bak Kut Teh (S$8.00) - This comprises of a mix of the smaller rib bones as well as the prime rib bones (the more expensive and prized part of the backbone).
3) Found Bak Kut Teh (Prime rib bones) (S$9.00) - This is make up of all prime rib bones only.

Other dishes include: pig trotter, mixed pig organ soup, pig liver, pig kidney, pig stomach, pig intestine (small and big), salted vegetables, peanuts, tau pok, you tiao, braised eggs and the list goes on.

I ordered the founder bak kut teh, braised intestine and peanuts.  The soup is very peppery which gives the ommmp feel if you like peppery soup.  Although the meat has been cooked long enough to be easily separated from the bones but I find the meat a bit on the tough side, not sure if this is just a once off experience.  The intestine texture and taste also wasn't as good.  If you have tried this branch or the one at Balestier please give comments if it was better.

I still prefer Song Fa Bak Kut Teh and Han's Bak Kut Teh where the meat is more tender and the side dishes are more well done.
