This place have been around for a long time in Klang, just at Jalan Pekan Baru off Jalan Meru (near Klang Parade). This is one of the many places that’s already serving dried bak kut teh when other places have not done so.

On a weekday morning, the crowd is quite ok but lunch time and weekend will be packed. I ordered the soup as well as the dried one. The dried one is not bad but not spicy enough and lack those dried “yau yee” that makes it yummy! I still prefer the soup version of the BKT here

Lok-lok actually means boiling, its a way to describe boiling food on a satay stick in hot boiling water similar to steamboat. My favourite lok-lok place in Klang is situated at a lane behind Jalan Nenas to Jalan Melayu. Its a row of make shift eateries.

The unique thing about the place is the lok-lok comes in a low price of 40 cents per stick but of course the portion are smaller, but still cheap to me. It used to be 30 cents when I first discover this place many years ago. The shop only have 6 tables equipped with the lok-lok pot, so there is usually a queue to wait.

Outside the shop, there are a row of 4-5 small waiting tables, you can sit on these tables and wait for the next table to be available and someone will direct you in the “queue process”. While waiting, they will take your drink order and you can order some other food from stalls around. The popular waiting food would be satay (pork or chicken) or some very yummy and unique lobak.

Unfortunately during my last visit on a Friday night, the lobak is closed, I hope they are just resting and still continue selling because their lobak is quite unique and different from the norm. So, we had some pork satay to wait and only a minimum order of 10 will be served, par pai betul :P. The pork satays are very lean served with a light peanut sauce, definately cannot compare to those in Malacca, but can do la at RM0.50 per stick.

At the lok-lok table, all the food available will be placed on the table, so there is not much space for other stuff. Whenever you finish a certain food type, you can ask the boss to replenish or he will usually do his round and fill up for you.

They provide 4 different types of sauce, the usual peanut sauce, a sweet sauce, the light orange chili sauce and a green bird chili type of sauce. Instead of the usual plate, you get a small sauce plate here for your sauce.

The lok-lok is still good here and I really hope the lobak is still around, will check it out on my next visit

What better to cool down a hot day than a cup of yo yo ice (yau yau ping). Comes in all sort of flavours such as red bean, lychee, assam boi, longan, etc.

I had mine at Restoran Yo Yo Ice. This place is located near the Giant hypermarket in Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Klang. They also sell some very good and crispy fried chickens.

The yo yo ice goes for RM1.50 per cup, you can mix 2 flavour or have the same kind in a cup. Its basically crushed ice flavoured with different taste.

The yummy fried chicken goes from RM2.00 to RM2.20 depending which part you take. Outside is crispy while inside are still soft and tender. Very nice and good for sitting down and chit chat the day away kind of place

My buddies, the rooster and the cicak whom are from port klang and klang have been telling me about this place a lot, so I decided to pop by last weekend to check it out. What was promoted to me about this place are mainly their curry chicken rice but I was glad when I found out they also serve hainan char siew (roast pork) which I had a chance to try many years ago.

So we got greedy and we start to order a whole lot of stuff, curry chicken, assam fish, pork popiah (lobak), hainan char siew, pineapple intestines, pork blood and intestines soup, etc. The key here is to eat the rice with their special curry gravy, its looks like a thick curry sauce with some dark sauce in it and not spicy at all, just very strong curry taste. The idea is to flood the rice with the curry and go with the dishes.

The chicken in the curry are cooked soft but my favourite here seems to be the hainan char siew which are lean pork roast cripsy with a layer of sweet caramel. The others are quite good too.

Pricing are so so, RM3 for a piece of curry chicken, RM3 for a piece of hainan char siew, etc. But they will cut all these up for you to be shared. Definately yummy and something to go back to BBT for

Boston Baru is the name, and its right in Klang town. Unfortunately I was only here for supper and didn’t have enough room for a full meal (after my dried bkt :P). Anyhow I only blame my klang local friend for not highlight enough about this place to me in the first place.

Ok, back to this place, every table you can see have Steam Lala, that is almost like a must here. The whole street are their tables and you have to wait on average 30-40mins for it. We only ordered the steam lala and a vege just to give it a try.

After more than 30 mins wait, our steam lala finally came, covered with fried garlics and ginger slices. The stock are tasty retaining juices from the lala and the first taste, wow, fantastic. As you suck the lala in, so does the stock which give it a good delicious and balance taste, top with ginger and crunchy fried garlic, marvelous! I can understand now why its such a popular dish here. The vege though is oily and lack taste.

I was told that the dried fry keow teow here is good, maybe I will try that next time. This place only opens at 7pm till late night.
