I had been noticing this place everytime I use the Bukit Baru way to town in Melaka, finally last weekend I had a chance to check it out. I got there at 7.45pm and it was so crowded I had to wait about 10-15 mins to get a place to seat. They offered bak kut teh here in 2 choices, one is pork and the other is beef.

I ordered the beef and waited for about 25-30 mins as they shop is quite laid back… well it fact its not a shop but a house on the main road which had converted it’s porch into a makan place. I also noticed there’s 1 table that’s having a steamboat with peppery bak kut teh soup with beef, etc.

I ordered a can of beer for my wait at RM7.50 and the family that’s running the place was kind enough to offered me the day’s papers for the wait.

Finally my beef bak kut teh came, its a well portioned claypot of beef, beef internals, beef balls with foo chuk and cabbage served with a bowl of rice. The rice is a sticky, but the beef bak kut teh was good! Its not the usual bak kut teh soup as I expected. Its actually this thick and peppery soup with all the ingredents inside.

The soup is peppery hot but very very good and as I was eating, I was sweating hot and nose was running. The beef bak kut teh costed me RM10.50 and the final verdict is good, especially on a rainy day! Definately something unique to try, but try to avoid peak hours!

This BKT is clean and comfortable and most important of all, it is very good! Seems that its the number of BKT restaurant offering dry bak kuth teh is on the raise. Located in Sunwaymas Commercial Center (near Aman Suria) in Petaling Jaya, its located on PJU 1/3C.

Per pax for the dry portion is RM9.50 and the soup based is RM8.50 per pax. I got both to try and the bill adds up to RM24.10 with an additional of 1 yau char kawi, 3 rice and 2 chinese tea. Price wise is quite standard for BKT nowadays but what is good is their portion are generous that I like (last week in Klang, the portion is almost half less than here!).

The soup BKT here is good, not too heavy in herbs and very tasty. The meat are tender and soft (I asked for the small bone part). The dry one is a bit unique, its the usual dry BKT fare, cooking it in black sauce with lady fingers, dried cuttlefish, dried chili but this one is a bit sweet and a hint of sour taste, very nice!

A recommended go for me .

On the main road (Jalan Sg Jati) in Taman Sentosa Klang, there’s a corner shop with red signboard that is famous for its bak kut teh, they also have the dry version here. Its the cornershop on Lorong Bendehara 20B.

They serve the normal soup based bak kut teh as well as the dry bak kut teh (fried with dried chilies, dried cuttlefish and lady fingers in dark soya sauce). I ordered 1 portion of the dry one and 1 portion of the soup with a bowl of yau char kueh.

The soup one is quite good, the soup is thick but not too salty and tasty. They are also very generous with the soup where they will bring a big mug and fill until you tell them to stop.

I find the dry portion to be very small and not enough dried cuttlefish, so taste wise is a bit on the light side. I still prefer the dry bkt at soon seng behind Klang Parade instead .

I bumped into Ah Fai, my friend from Kelantan (he came all the way with his gf’s family in Kuchai Lama to eat here) at Yip Weng to my surpise and since I have not been able to meet up with him much, I belanja him as well. The total from my table of 2 and his table of 5 adds up to RM111.00.
