Balestier Road is known for bak kut teh shops, like Founder in particular. Out of sheer convenience though, I went to another one just one block down (365 Balestier Road). I regretted getting these meatballs, as they were not the super firm and bouncy kind that I thought I was getting. Instead, these had a soft homemade feel with bits of crunchy tendon in there. The soup was OK and was certainly much better than that Old Tiong Bahru place on Sixth Avenue. But next time I'll go to Founder, or at least better optimize my order by getting actual ribs rather than meatballs.
Epilogue: BTW, I just realized that I might have been to this shop twenty years ago, especially since I likewise noticed a very mild herbal tinge in the broth this morning.
