Joining Good Taste Bak Kut Teh on the list of Malaysian BKT places opening in Singapore is Kota Zheng Zong. Operating since 1980, the joint currently has two outlets in Johor BahruโTaman Nusa Bestari and Taman Sentosa. This close proximity to our shores explains why itโs popular amongst Singaporeans, and why news of its impending arrival is making people excited.
Their new stall is slated to open at Holland Village some time in November 2019, right next to Tiger Sugar. Although the storeโs still being constructed, its Facebook page is already up, so you can keep tabs on the latest deets.

For those whoโve never heard of Kota Zheng Zong, letโs bring you up to speed. The family-run business is popular for their herbal claypot BKT that can be filled with various pork parts such as ribs, belly, and legs. A bowl of this costs RM16/~$5.20 in JB but you can prolly expect it to be more expensive here, given its prime location and all.
That being said, itโll be worth the price once you sink your teeth into the extremely tender meat that has soaked up the rich flavours of the broth. Each bowl also comes with crispy beancurd skin for a greater depth of textures.

For those who are ballinโ, opt for the Iberico Pork Bak Kut Teh (RM38/~$12.50) thatโs loaded with luxe pork with a rich, nutty flavour. Do note that the prep time for this takes around half an hour so you might wanna give โem a heads up before coming over.
If youโre looking to take a break from the usual Holland Village food gems such as ramen and BBQ, keep an eye out for Kota Zheng Zong once theyโre open. Hopefully, the prices wonโt be drastically high cause Iberico pork under $15 is a steal in any country.
