Ya Hua Bah Kut Teh is located along Keppel Road (and Anson Road) and is definitely one of the better Bah Kut Teh around in Singapore. Its usually not crowded (due to its quick service, not because of the quality of the food) and tables can be easily found.

It was a party of four and we were pretty hungry so we added quite a bit of stuff. First up was obviously the Bah Kut Teh. This place serves free flow "peppery" soup, so do not be afraid to ask for more when your supply runs out. Its level of "pepperiness" is not very high (as compared to places like Founder's along Balestier Road) but its not so low that it becomes tasteless. This soup, to me, has just the right amount of pepper. The meat itself was tender and easily came off the bone. They usually give the ribs portion, so its easy to eat and has lots of meat for us to chew on.

Next up is a dish that I put equal importance as the meat in judging a Bah Kut Teh store - the salty vegetable. The "giam chai" here is fantastic. Although its a preserved vegetable, this store really makes the vegetable look "fresh". It does not have the feeling that it has been out there for days and we are just eating expired food. It was not too salty and was hot and nice when it came. Good stuff!

The other dishes we tried weren't too fabulous. The pig intestine wasn't worth the additional bucks and the pig organ soup had really little organs to rave about. The only positive was the soup from the pig organ soup.

Overall, this place is good for its Bah Kut Teh and Salty vegetable. Unless you are feeling really adventurous, these two dishes are enough for a tasty full meal. The downside of this place is its price. A bowl of Bah Kut Teh can set you back by $7and the entire meal costs us $16 (i.e. $64 total) each, including drinks - a pretty steep meal for hawker bah kut teh. But I feel its still worth at least one try and you can judge whether if its worth that much for yourself.
