Did a sunday rounding trip last weekend, first Dan and me head to Kg Subang for BKT again. This are just the bunch of shops opposite Monterez near the supermarket. Its not too bad but I still prefer the chew chow one by the road side.

After that we head over to Dan’s new place (yes again) to check out his unit. Good thing is that, the day is not as hot as expected as it was in the previous week.

From Dan’s place, we follow the GPS map and head up along the road heading to Puncak Alam, just before reaching Puncak Alam, we found some stalls by the road side selling pineapples and tapioca roots. We stopped for a pineapple drink and bought some pineapples. The pineapples prices are ok, RM1 each, quite sweet too. Later on the GPS, we found a road leading to Meru just near where we are.

So we made a quick u-turn and cut through Kg. Budiman and end up in Jalan Meru, Klang, from there we met up with Cicak at Setia Alam. From there we head to food court in Klang Parade (its a hot day, we wanted to somewhere with aircond and easy to park… so food court also ok la) and tried the Curry Laksa there. This curry noodles is huge! It’s RM4.50 per bowl, the serving is as good as 2 person’s and its filled with chicken, potato, egg, foochuk, fish ball and fish cake!!! Taste is not bad and its really value for money

This is one of my favourite Seafood places, been going here for like 10 years or more now. Its located right next to Langat river which flows into the Malacca Straits. It used to take ages to get here through small town road heading from Klang to Banting. Now we can just access it via Kesas, then turn to Banting direction and passing Teluk Panglima Garang.

Parking is plenty and you can even bring along a fishing rod and try your luck if you fancy . They don’t serve pork here as a lot of malay folks dine here too. I happened to went there on a public holiday and its packed with people, the wait is long and most of the good stuff are out!

The food quality have also changed over the years, used to love their mango fish which is deep fried fish top with sweet sour sauce and mango. Now I usually go for Assam fish or teow chew steam. This round I ordered the assam fish, wanted the red snapper but they are out so I opted for siakap instead. The fish is steamed then top with sour and spicy assam fish, which the overall comment is good.

Next on is Tow Foo Kang which is tauhu soup which is cooked starchy added with crab meats. Usually such soup the tauhu are chopped up and mix with the soup but there they use fried japanese tauhu. Something different for a change .

There are no crabs that fine day because the fishermen which supply crabs and lala to them are on break. So we order prawns fried with oats, quite big in size and the oats are salty and sweet. Quite fresh and not bad. We also ordered chok tan which are shell bamboo like shellfish but most of the plate are actually the shell and very little meat

The sweet potato leaves fried with garlic is good and young. Next is fried mantis prawn paste with dried chili. Its rather sweet and the paste are fried to crisped.

Lastly we have the deep fried sotong but its quite dissapointing because there seems to be more batter than squid. Plus because of the large crowd, they fried it in a strong fire all the way which causes some of the squid to be over fried. Hopefully normal days they can do this properly but too much batter, not recommended.

So how do you get to this place? Finally I can say this now, hehe… the GPS coordinate to get here is N2′ 53.215 E101′ 27.129

According to the GPS map, if you go straight from Kang Guan to the other side of Carey Island there is actually a scenic view of the Malacca Straits, I think this place will be perfect for sunset

So yes, we all know that Klang is the “mothertown for all bak kut teh” (direct translation = pork bone soup) and we have tried so many style, some have more herbs, some are lighter, some are sweeter, but what about dry bak kut teh?

Meru in Klang is the place to go! Right behind Klang Parade are some new shoplots and one of them is Soon Seng, a new, clean and comfy place to have bkt.

Just like most modern bkt restaurant, its well ventilated with water thermos every corner for you to refill your tea pot with hot water, provides tissues, etc.

Environment is comfy and clean, but most important of all, the food is still good. 1 portion of normal bkt will cost RM8.50 while the dry one will cost RM9.00.

The dry bkt is cooked with thick dark soya sauce with dried squids and chilies plus lady fingers. The meat looks like those in the normal bkt. Its tasted amazingly good, great aroma and you just can’t stop. The normal bkt here is never the less quite good.

As per my makan buddy Jack’s comment “this is now the best bak kut teh I have eaten”
