Bak Kut Teh

Bak Kut Teh is one of my most favourite dishes of all time!
Place to go to for it is KLANG!

People say that this soup based dish originated from chinese migrant workers working at the port and construction sites, so they needed a high calorie diet. Bak Kut Teh is the perfect dish because it is healthy chinese herbs mixed with high fat food. Haha

Puchong is like a 45 minute drive to Klang, but I found a place in Bandar Puteri that is from Klang!

The shop is called Yip Weng Klang Bak Kut Teh






The owner says that he is from the Pasang area, hokkien guy, proves he is a Klang-nite. Is his food as good as his origin?

The restaurant is very clean and quite ordinary, perfect place for bak kut teh!



Lets check out the menu first.


It comes all in a set. 2 choices of bak kut teh (dry or soupy) , 1 mushroom , rice and tea.

Quite reasonable.

Here is what the actual bak kut teh looks like:




The soup really taste good, strong taste and lots of "liu" ( generous portions ). The dry one is cooked very nicely and it is not burnt at all. Very well done.





Btw, I want to introduce something new for those who don't know about this. It is something that the boss recommended to me and I never seen this in any other bak kut teh place.

This part of the pig is called the "sai kuat" or the "drumstick"
Why is it so special??
Well the meat surrounding it is very lean and tender. It is sort of like chicken drumstick meat taste better than breast meat and comes off the bone easier because it is leaner.
Try it, and you gotta be early cause it goes quite fast.



That is after devouring it.

Conclusion

The taste of this bak kut teh restaurant is so far one of the best I have tasted in the area. And for the price you also get a very generous portion of food. Totally worth your while.

I ate with both my parents, it came up to RM30 because we had nice tea ( char wong ) and had yau char kuey
