Local Food Rated Part 2: Ba Kut Teh Gets a Perfect 10
29 October 2026
Ba kut teh gets a perfect 10 in part 2 of our honest local food ratings. Laksa gets 9, satay 8, and mee siam takes a 6 because mee soto simply exists.

The scores
- Ba kut teh: 10/10. BKT anytime, any day. Except at Clarke Quay Song Fa, says our slide.
- Laksa: 9/10. Love it when the noodles are cut so we do not have to use chopsticks.
- Satay: 8/10. Satay is nothing without the ketupat.
- Mee siam: 6/10. Mee soto better tho.
Yes, we took points off mee siam
Nothing is wrong with mee siam. It simply lost a fight it did not sign up for.
The laksa point is the most Singapore thing we have ever written. We have chopsticks. We just prefer a spoon and less effort.
Fight us about it after you read our prata guide.
Good to know
· Order extra ketupat with your satay. Our slide insists.
