The world famous Klang Bah Kut Teh!

Sorry for all the readers that waited so long for new updates! Here I come again bringing you the best food on my way home last year during the Christmas and New Year time!

Today the main character is the world famous Klang bah kut teh and as a local in klang, I realised that there is much arguments about which one is the best in Klang, and by recent polling in Malaysia, 5 out of the top 10 bahkuteh are from Klang, that shows how good the BKT is in Klang! Bahkut teh is actually Pork cooked with chinese herbs and literally means pork ribs and tea , a great companion to drink along the meal!

I was hanging out with High School friends when we decided to have a lunch together one afternoon for the lovely BKT near Jalan Meru....

This shop was selected in 2003 as the top 10 BKT, not for their traditional claypot soup base BKT but the rather new dried bkt! Dried BKT to some people that had knowledge about it, is actually using the same meat which is pork, but stirfry it with blakcksoy sauce, some with oyster sauce and dried chilies, and with lots of dried squids, to bring out the aroma!

The best way to eat BKT is to eat with yujiakueh, which is a kind of chinese pastries basically made from flour, and eating and drinking the tea during the meal is said to clear the oil from the pork, (I wondered how true is that!)

BKT is originated from Klang by some sources as the food for the port labours from China, port labours require large amount of energies to carry out their daily works, so the labourers will cooked the pork with healthy herbs and eat with large portions of rice in the morning before going to work to provide them enough energy for the work! I think the tradition still being kept because most of the people in klang went for BKT in the morning!




The traditional soup based BKT, and you can see the yuciakueh from at the right side of the picture!

Food 7/10, not my favourite BKT place but it's worth a try and the dried BKT is good!
Services 6/10, it is a general rule that crowded restaurant provide less friendly service, but they are comparatively good!
Overall 7/10
