From Tuan Yuan BKT website:
ORIGINS
Our name Tuan Yuan unites “reunion” with “fate”, and this is what we are about — the ties that make every reunion with family, friends, colleagues, and business partners precious.
Tuan Yuan is a contemporary dining experience that cultivates togetherness around authentic Teochew Bak Kut Teh. Our family’s dedication to creating truly old – school Singaporean Bak Kut Teh goes way back to 1991.
True today as it was then, time – honoured preparation methods and skills are faithfully handed down from one generation to the next. Different eras, the same passion. Tuan Yuan is where it all comes together — two decades of invaluable experience preserving this much – loved local heritage dish for future generations.
Tuan Yuan is a reunion in every sense of the word. This address brings us full circle — back to the first home we shared as a family, the home where I had spent my childhood years. Here, the past meets the future and tradition mingles with modernity. Generations work side by side, familiar faces mix with new, bonds are continually made, honoured, and celebrated. In this neighbourhood that holds fond memories of many of our firsts and humble milestones, we look forward to many more with you.
Thank you for taking part in our family’s story. We hope that you will make Tuan Yuan part of yours too.
