Chuan Chiew Bak Kut Teh @ SS 14

28/11/2012 No Comments

It has been a long long time since I last came back here and hunt for Chuan Chiew Bak Kut Teh in this area. Used to be one of my hang out spots when I was studying, till I have a few disappointed bak kut teh hunting around my housing area till have to come back here for a decent one.

SS14 is already quite well know with a street filled with Bak Kut Teh with many offerings. Every shop have their very own customer base and down till which stall you prefer. As too many years back and little did I remember which one was the best and start off with 2nd outlet on the street which is Chuan Chiew.

Early dinner it is as the uncle already busy preparing all his ingredient and cutting it off for waiting customer.

To dine Bak Kut Teh of course the ambiance must be in Kopitiam Style ..

2 types of soup base, one which is all the ingredient being boil along and another one is to mix it around.

After mixture or order, and putting it into claypot, its left on this stove to boil till pippin hot.

I quite like the Dry Bak Kut Teh here as its cook along with dry shrimp, taste of squid that make the slight saltiness and thick soy sauce to make it thick, along with chili padi to make it slightly spicy. Just perfect.

My pippin hot claypot bak kut teh ..

I have a mixture of meat, variety of parts, meat is not too tough yet cook till soft as i prefer. The sad part is always remember to order your needle mushroom to be separated if not the taste of it will over power the taste of the soup. As I order another portion without it. Soup base here is mild not so herbal which most of the locals prefer. Soup definitely can be refillable. I prefer mine to be strong in herbal taste but this is good enough to satisfy.

Overall came up to RM61.20 for soup with portion of 4 and dry bak kut teh with 2 portion and 3 of us just whack it.

Klang Bak Kut Teh – Restaurant Qe Xiang @ Bandar Baru Klang

06/09/2012 No Comments

Last long weekend over Raya, had nothing much to do and decided to drive to Klang met my friend for a simple meal hunting. Of course when you are in Klang, one of the thing to hunt is definitely Bak Kut Teh. As my arrival around that area for lunch time, to get the best Bak Kut Teh is surely out of topic, as far as I know those famous one usually have to go early morning and even sold out before 8am, was introduce to Restaurant Qe Xiang.

Well, my friend brought me to one of her favourite outlet, Restaurant Qe Xiang that is located in Bandar Baru Klang that is actually not that far off from Federal Highway. She told me that, last time this outlet operate in small outlet at the same spot as recent years, they only expended with build up of front portion.

Its one of the place to get Bak Kut Teh during lunch hours as this outlet operate from 8am-3pm

Just only 2 of us we order 2 pot with dry and soup version.

As the dry Bak Kut Teh we order the soft bone part and the meat is braised till soft and gravy is thick with dark soy sauce. A bit spicy at the end as they added chili padi, and I think I had better ones in Puchong.

Here comes the soup Bak Kut Teh as I am surprise by the generosity of ingredient that the serve along as I ordered mixture. Soup is less herbal as I always prefer mine to be thick in Herbal taste but taste for people around here, they prefer less herbal. Soup is a bit thick with sign of boiling quite a while with all the meat being in there and its sweet.

Multi layered pork intestine. Good!

Bak Kut Teh here is surely not one of the best, yet I do not mind to come back here again for another round as the price are pretty reasonable with 2 big pot for 2 of us with 2 rice, and drink is about RM38. Soup is refillable upon request.

Wong Ji Bak Kut Teh @ Bukit Mertajam, Penang

03/05/2012 5 Comments

[Updated] 22/5/2016 after a reader inform me, this stall is called Wong Ji Bak Kut Teh and have moved with updated address as below.

Quite sometime ago, my best friend brought me to try out a bak kut teh stall that she find very good. Its quite a hidden one as travel all the way to mainland to try it out. One of the reason that she always told me that, have to be there early, cuz its often sold out if we arrive late. So this round we arrive at 6pm. I called it BM Pasar Bak Kut Teh.

To locate this stall, its not hard nor easy, as its located along Bukit Mertajam wet market, nearby Pos Office. What you can do is either double park if you have the chance or park further behind or front and walk there. I was lucky that day to park by the road side next to the stall. One of the problem is that, the coffee shop doesnt have a name and you just have to drive pass slowly to locate it.

Mostly they are doing neighborhood business which they do not cook it alot ..

They have a few pots for you to choose if you do not know what you want, best of all is always go for a mixture of everything.

One of the trick that make it so good is because they using charcoal to heat up the claypot that makes the taste extra umph. . not like those normal ones using gas stove to make it warm. . .

Here is my pot of Bak Kut Teh Mixture. . everything also masuk of all the pig spare part. .

Quite like the taste of it, which is a bit strong on the herbs taste, yet not too thick and well prepared. Taste of the soup is much better I think its because using Charcoal to boil on it or its just my mind always have the impression using charcoal to cook stuff is always better. Price is pretty decent as for 2 pax is around RM18 with such generous amount of ingredient.

Well, I have visited this place a few times yet often forgot to ask the auntie what is their name of the stall. . .:d

Xingang Bak Kut Teh @ Taman Segar, Cheras

10/10/2011 No Comments

Sometimes, when you crave for Bak Kut Teh, you need not drive all the way to Klang for your favorite stall, sometimes, some where nearby or some where in a commercial area will have a nice BKT shop that was until recently, we found new love for our BKT outing stall which is this Xingang Bak Kut Teh, that located a street away from Leisure Mall, Cheras.

We were told that this restaurant serve authentic Klang homecook recipe Bak Kut Teh and immediately we arrange to drop by.

It was Sunday late lunch, and there are quite a number of crowds here too. As we sat down, the crowd start pouring in till near full house.

Normal menu they have here, and one thing that caught our eyes was their pricing. I would say a bit cheaper compare to those places like Jalan Ipoh or KL area.

One unique thing in this shop is that, you can choose how your Bak Kut Teh to be served, can be either in Claypot or in glass bowl like those in Klang, pricing definitely will be slightly different as for me, I always prefer mine in Claypot.

We ordered, Dry Pork Ribs mix with Trotter pot to start off with and its quite a surprise to me that they add in ladies finger in it. It was cook till quite dry, that the think soy sauce able to coat with the meat, and you have to stir it fast to prevent the meat from sticking at the side or base of the pot. Will be a very good companion to eat along with rice, as it is not too salty that just nice.

Claypot Ribs @ RM 9 that served, just enough for me, if I am eating by myself, and by this time, I just cant wait to taste on their soup. The soup that definately comes to my liking, its a bit more strong in herbs taste that I have always like, and the soup is not too watery. Can just taste out that they use alot of pork ribs to cook along as the soup taste sweet too.

Best of all, the soup can be refill, and I had 4 bowls of the soup~

One of my favourite that I would not really miss is pig’s spare part. ‘Intestine and Stomach’ @ RM 8 as I find it cheaply price with the generous amount of spare part that they gave me. I love the intestine, as its been stuff into multi layer style, just nice to chew and its wash till clean that do not have those weird taste.

Claypot Big Bone @ RM 18, cook till the meat is soft and dip into my garlic chili with thick soy sauce is just perfect.

Vegetable in Garlic Sauce @ RM 7

Besides serving Bak Kut teh, they do have something special in da house with some of their dish are own creation and we try out their Apple Chicken which is something that I have never tried out before, deep fried first then shower with their own homemade apple sauce. Taste pretty unique, that have the sweetness of apple and crispy on the outer layer. I would say, worth to try~

I am just so jealous of you that work nearby the area, as they do have set lunch for their Bak Kut Teh just for RM 9 that served along with Rice + Bak Kut Teh + Vege + Chinese Tea. Where to find this kind of promo wor, where usually I eat myself also easily cost RM13-RM16.

Well, this shop also do have steam fish, that I accidentally deleted that picture in my camera, which comes in 4 flavours, I did try out their garlic ginger steam fish, that I like how they did their own mixture and strong in garlic taste and ginger taste.

This place had add into my list of bak kut teh hunting place, and I would say, worth recommending to try out if you love those kind of soup base, a bit stronger in herbal taste, soup is also a bit thicker. Recommended place~

Remark: The dish have 3 sizes to choose from, pricing above is base on our order as some is medium, some is small.

Fang Xiang Bak Kut Teh @ Setia Avenue, Setia Alam

26/01/2011 No Comments

All of us we know that when we crave for Bak Kut Teh, the first location that pop into our mind is Klang or some where in Kuala Lumpur, never did it ever cross my mind that a new township that build by SP Setia at Shah Alam which is the new upcoming area that had attracted some restaurant to be operated around the area. Fang Xiang Bak Kut Teh

Restaurant Fang Xiang Bak Kut Teh is one of the new restaurant that had been operate in the area for just less than 2 weeks yet had attracted quite a number of crowd to the place, one great thing at this restaurant is that they operate long hours from early morning till night. The place is fairly easy to be sighted as you travel along NKVE highway towards Klang and will see Tesco Setia Alam and with one of the big sign board, that would be the restaurant.

With a cartoon girl on the signage, there is a reason behind it and there are ample of parking space.

As the restaurant is still new, future expension is under consideration as currently the whole restaurant, smoking is allow.

With many parts of pork to choose from, and they sure do have one of their signature pork is one part that must order!

This is our order, for da day . .. They served by bowl and limited soups is available as the owner had cook more than 100 times to get it right and also by trail and error, most important is the customer feedback given to them that had made her own style of bak kut teh out. The soup served here is very mild in taste, not too watery.

As some of the customer loves ‘Tau Pok’ and for this restaurant, they are giving it complimentary.

Yau Mak veggie with fried garlic.

Go Hui meat which lies in between spine bones and ribs. The meat in this part is soft with fork poking through it easily split out that is sitted by the side of the bone.

The pork belly meat (Sam Chan Bak) lives up to my expecation that cook till soft and thin layer of fats at the top of the meat.

As I mention one of their signature dish, which is the back part of the pig as mention by the owner, she said that there are only 4 pieces of it at each pig and not many places sell this part. The best part of this is the skin fats with a thin layer at the top, as this part is easily obtain by the owner is because the dad is a butcher and always reserved the best part of pork for the restaurant. Only limited pieces are available.

This is Yvonne the owner cum chef for the restaurant. You never be so suprise that its just a young chef as usually Bak Kut Teh in our mind is cook by more mature people with their great recepi had been pass down from generation by generation. Most of the people working in the restaurant are mostly family members and most of them are very young. I did ask her why she open the restaurant, she is a big fan of Bak Kut Teh that makes her own very first restaurant.

Price ranging from RM8-RM20 which is reasonable.

Heng Bak Kut Teh Delights @ Taman Kepong

06/01/2011 2 Comments

Food hunting is always in our list on-going where to go for nice food hunt, but sometimes when people tell me on the location my usual reply would be like ‘Hah! So far? Aiiii . .. . .’. as for this round I know that itu Eric very choosy in food should be okay in his taste then I got tag along into one of the area, Kepong dalam dalam to me. . .to hunt this Heng Bak Kut Teh Delights Place.

By reading some blog, I just got to know that this Heng Bak Kut Teh got some history itself. The story begins when the family started its Bak Kut Teh Recepi in Southern Malaysia, Johor by the Heng’s Family in 1960. Their choice was to create healthier range of Bak Kut Teh which they started to work on it, the aroma of the Bak Kut Teh had attracted many of the neighbor to try on their discovery… few years later 1963, there is where Heng’s Bak Kut Teh had establish and many students came by to learn from the Heng’s Bak Kut Teh Recipe.

What I found out that, there are a few Bak Kut Teh place with Heng’s wordings also but this place is the original place from the Heng’s Family.

With they way the preparing it, even when I take this pictures, the soup aroma is just so tempting.

I always love my pot of Bak Kut Teh with all spare parts in it, that would be a perfect bowl of BKT!

The Lou Keok Wan – or lou chu yoke. (Dark sauce pork knuckle), love the taste of it, which a bit strong in vinegar taste but then had perfectly cook till the skin its soft and go along with rice, just perfect!

Many people love this dish, Sheen Lat Choy (Sour Spicy Vegie), as alot people like to have it in different taste, some with more spicy less sour, some more sour less spicy, as I discover this bowl which had been cook evenly with sour and spicyness is just there, when you drink much of it, you will feel more spicy towards the end of it which comes to my liking.

I love Bak Kut Teh alot especially those taste with very heavy Herbal taste, in KL just cant find the taste I like. This claypot of Bak Kut Teh Soup is just nice that I think will suits every one, that it is quite clear in the soup, yet the taste of herbal is not that strong.

Next is the Chue Keok Chou (Pork Leg Vinegar) with the amount of fats and the gravy cook till a bit thick, fuh~ its too good to comment on it

Next is the Black Pepper Soup with some spare parts. I like this soup also, with a hint of mild black pepper taste.

Wong Chau Kai (Yellow rice wine chicken), some of you might find this soup strong in rice wine and heavy ginger taste, its definately very good for those who catch flu. We had this during it was raining heavily and it was just one of a good dish to be served that night.

The Special Rice is the rice that you must try, with their very own unique combination and style of cooking, the rice is very fragrant and rich in ingredient. It comes with daily special rice. So, try on your luck to get this.

This is definately one of my recommended place if you are looking for a nice and cheap Bak Kut Teh to eat. For so many dish on the table and it comes to less than RM70 for that night with 4 pax.
