Miki 24

Ok another backlog entry, this time to Miki 24 at Joo Chiat. This place doesn't open till very late, think they close around midnight or so. Anyway, their bak kut teh and fish head is supposed to be pretty good. Had to give it a try before I left Singapore.

So went there with Terence, Krystal and her little sister. At first the plan was to eat the bak kut teh, but we realised they have a 4 person set meal so that made more sense. You get to choose 4 bowls of either bak kut teh or kidney soup, 1 ter kah, preserved vegetables and beancurd skin.

Bak kut teh was nice! The meat was tender and the soup was nice and peppery. And as with most places you get free top ups of soup! Yum!

Krystal and her sis had kidney soup but I managed to swipe a piece of kidney from Krystal. Tasted pretty fresh. Some how I like kidney more than liver. Less porky taste i guess. The texture is also nice. The soup tasted different from the bak kut teh one though. Not so nice, I reckon the lettuce in the soup kinda spoiled the taste.

Ter kah is fatty as usual in a rich and salty brown broth. The meat was pretty tender, some places tend to over cook their meat, resulting in it being tough or chewy. Certainly very unhealthy though.

Tau kee and mei cai also very standard items served with ter kah or bak kut teh. Nothing much to say about them actually, except that the mei cai wasn't very salty which is good.

Waiting time was quite fast and service was also pretty efficient, but it was pretty late and not many people at the stall that night. Heard they can get quite crowded during dinner time. I also like the fact we can keep adding soup, drank so much that night that I was just full of liquid! Haha. Should try their fish head next time, Terence said it's pretty good.
