BKK's Build-Your-Own Beef Offal Soup

Overview

Offal ain't as awful as you might think. In fact, these not-so-sexy meat cuts can be damn right delicious. 

Nonetheless, we get that they can make a lot of people feel uneasy. Many Aussies just aren't used to eating tripe and tendons. But if you are keen to expand your tastes — as any true Melburnian should — consider trying BKK's limited-edition beef offal soups.

Every weekend for lunch and dinner until Sunday, October 6, the BKK crew is offering a build-your-own soup special starting from just $13. The Thai boat noodle soup is made with rich beef broth, rice noodles, fresh herbs and house-made crispy chilli oil. It is a delicious blank canvas on which you can create your own masterpiece.

To this base, you can add tripe, beef tendons, duck blood jelly, gai lan greens, mushrooms and bean shoots. Start off with just one new protein or go all out by tossing them all into the bowl — baptism by fire. 

Alternatively, you can simply go for the beef brisket and meatballs. That's definitely allowed, but this Melbourne cheap eats deal is meant to hero offal. So, trust the BKK crew at HER, and dive into something a little different on the weekend.

That is unless you already love offal. If that's the case, go ham on all the wonderful protein additions and slurp away to your heart's content.
