Bak Kut Teh (Pork Rib Soup)

After a movie at Shaw cinema, hubby and me decided to eat Bak Kut Teh along Balestier
Road. We chose 2 shops: Founder and Kai Juan for comparison.
Kai Jun:
(1) Smaller, less meaty ribs that cost $5.50 per bowl
(2) Tasty, peppery and hot soup that we like
(3) Open coffee shop environment
(4) Quicker service
(5) Will not return to the shop again as shop replenished my hubby's bowl with diluted soup when he asked for more of the soup

Founder:
(1) Big, meaty ribs for $6 a bowl (more value for money)
(2) Less tasty soup (quite salty and less peppery)
(3) Slower speed of service due to many customers
(4) Be prepared to queue during peak time (e.g. evening)
(5) Air-conditioned environment
(6) Friendly service
