Friends Wok & Bak Kut Teh (老朋友 炒锅|肉骨茶) is First Gourmet’s first Chinese concept, located at 100 AM mall showcasing two signature renditions of Bak Kut Teh – Herbal and Teochew style (peppery). The soup is slow-brewed with pork bones for two hours to extract the innate flavours of each ingredient – rendering a rich and flavoursome broth.

The menu also offers unique takes on the traditional option with Lamb-Kut-Teh, and local Zichar favourites such as, Braised Pork Leg, Thai-style Steamed Sea Bass, Prawn Paste Chicken, San Lor Hor Fun, Salted Egg Prawn, and Salted Egg Soft Shell Crab.
