Song Fa Bak Kut Teh at Centrepoint serves authentic Teochew-style bak kut teh, well known for its fragrant and peppery broth that comes with unlimited refills. The pork ribs are tender and fall effortlessly off the bone, making them the highlight of the meal. Service is efficient, and the central Orchard Road location adds to the convenience. For a complete experience, the side dishes—especially the dough fritters and ngo hiang—are highly recommended as perfect accompaniments to the Bak Kut Teh.

This was my very first trip to Singapore, visiting for work and taking the chance to explore this vibrant hub of business and tourism. And of course, food is an essential part of the experience! My colleague who had been here before, insisted that I must try the legendary Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, a Michelin-recommended restaurant that always has long queues. To be honest, I was skeptical at first—I’ve never been particularly interested in pork rib soup. But with his strong recommendation, I joined the line one weekday evening and waited about 30 minutes. And wow—after my very first sip of the broth, I realized how wrong I had been! The peppery, fragrant soup base paired with the tender pork ribs completely won me over. It was so flavorful and comforting that I finally understood why Song Fa has earned repeated Michelin recognition. Honestly, I barely remember the side dishes we ordered—because the soup itself stole the entire show! We spent around SGD 20–25 per person, including a few extras, which I found very reasonable given the quality. For me, just that bowl of bak kut teh alone was worth the wait. I left absolutely satisfied, and I’d happily line up again next time I’m in Singapore!

This restaurant is absolutely delicious! Although the place is often crowded, the restaurant has a great flow, ensuring that guests are seated efficiently and comfortably. Despite the busyness, the service remains exceptional, with attentive staff who make sure your experience is enjoyable from start to finish. It’s clear that this establishment maintains high standards in both food quality and customer service. The atmosphere is lively, yet the attention to detail in every aspect, from the food to the service, makes it a standout dining spot. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying meal.

This outlet is amazing!! The waiter with black specs was very attentive. He brought my a chair for my bag and then put a cover over it to protect it. The elderly waitress who served us our food was careful and no soup spilled. The other elderly waitress who refilled soup was very quick!! Got our soup refilled twice and w love the efficiency. The cashier was a guy who wore golden specs. He was friendly and introduced the membership. I had a pleasant dinner, highly recommended!!

I’ve been to Singapore several times but I’ve never had Bak Kuh Teh. I mean it looks kind of boring but it’s actually the most flavorful soup I’ve had in this country. It’s hearty, and tasty and perfect with rice. It’s a must try!

The stock can be a little bit salty if you would like to drink it straight, but just right for soaking rice with. The pork ribs are tender and flavourful as usual. The fried dough is extra crispy.

Great spot for desserts and catching up with friends, especially since it’s open till 10pm. I love their bingsu—if you’re in a big group, I’d recommend sharing the Mad for Bingsu

Good spot for bingsu deserts and assortment of Korean snacks. Service was pretty quick, and they managed to sort out seats when the outlet was pretty busy on a weekday night. Portion is great to share as a group. Will come again!

Binsu shavings almost tasteless. Tested the shavings without mixing. You have to depend on the separate serving of milk to add on favour to it. So, hope this improves.

China brands are taking over and others are losing out. This is the large portion. $3 more. It's all ice all the way to the bottom. Compared to other Chinese bingsu brands that fills the bottom with surprises, creating value and leaves the customer wanting more. This just leaves a cold, bitter taste in customers mouth. Avoid
