​

STOMPer Meat Lover spotted this sign outside a West Coast coffee shop, promoting its ‘Bak Koot The’. The misspelling prompted him to have doubts about the food.

Says the STOMPer:

“This was spotted at Blk 501, West Coast Drive, near the wet market at a coffee shop front.

“The Bak Kut Teh stall has its signboard printed wrongly.

“It's printed as ‘Bak Koot The’.

“The common name should be ‘Bak Kut Teh’ which is a direct translation from dialect.

“I also noticed that the cook at the coffee shop is from China.

“I wonder if they know how to cook the traditional ‘local’ taste of the soup.”

The signboard also made by another PRC talent. Lots of badly trnaslated signboards in China which are outrageously funny.

Bak Kut Teh no need to learn one lah, I buy those Bak Kut Teh mix from the supermarket, just add water and Bak kut, taste better than the ones they sell outside!

They must have used MS Word spell check. "Teh" is always corrected to "The" is MS Word.

Really!
