BAK KUT TEH AT JALAN IPOH

We were wondering what to eat for dinner while travelling along Jalan Ipoh and saw this shop selling Bak Kut Teh (BKT) located at 3rd Mile, facing HSCB bank. My friends wanted to try BKT which is situated next to Dynasty Hotel but I told them the quality has dropped with increased in price. Thus, they gave in to my idea to eat in the shop which I have earlier suggested to them.

For the four of us, we ordered a claypot BKT consists of spare ribs, pork stomach, 3 layer pork meat, a bowl of tofu pok, a bowl of yau char kuai and a plate of lettuce. We also had button mushroom and black mushroom added in the soup.

Upon recommendation by the lady owner, we also opted for a bowl of pig tails and a portion of braised chicken leg. A pot of chinese hot tea to digest our system was in the menu too.

Service was prompt as we were the first customer having early dinner. The staff was quite fast when refilling the soup too.

The soup was plain and light without any herbal flavour. All of us prefer our BKT infused with tong kwai and kei chee. However, the meat was well cooked which delight all of us.

Braised Pork Knuckle

pig tails (before cut)


after cut....i dislike it cos' there was too much layer of hard lard, chuncky bones and little meat



a plate of lettuce with fried onions and oyster sauce



braised chicken leg with dried red chillies - available on Sat & Sun only

no doubt, the chicken leg was not soft enough but the gravy was damn good...thick and aromatic

It was a satisfying meal and the total bill came to RM15 per person which is reasonable.

BAH KUT TEH RESTAURANT OFFER FREE WIFI AND ACCEPT VISA MASTERCARD???

IS THIS TRUE???

Usually, a chinese restaurant selling this delicacy only accept cash and don't provide free wifi. Let me unfold the truth......

I could not believe it till I step into Restoran Fong Keow (Pottery) Bah Kut Teh, Klang. I saw an A4 size poster on the wall (next to where I was sitted) mentioning Free wifi and Accept Visa Mastercard (min RM50). A picture tells a thousand words:-))

Actually, we did not plan to eat in this restaurant as we wanted to have BKT in another nearby shop which was closed on that day. The condition of this restaurant which was airy, neat and tidy really caught my eyes to give it a try.

Bah Kut Teh or literally means Pork Rib Tea, originated from Klang. This herbal soup are usually boiled with meaty pork ribs, pork bones and together with herbs and spices for hours. Usually, it is eaten with rice. You'll can easily spot shops/restaurant selling this delicacy everywhere in this small town.

For people who take bah kut teh, a pot of Chinese tea is a must as it is believed the tea will help to dilute the fats consumed from the pork. We opted for a packet of Lam Peng Chrysanthemum Flower Chinese Tea (to help relieve heat and aid digestion la) for RM3.00. While waiting for the food to arrive, we started to make a pot of chinese tea according to our liking…DIY la!

We ordered one claypot of bak kut teh and add in pork ribs/’pai kut’ (RM21) and a plate of Asam Stingray Fish (RM12) cos’ the picture in the menu looks tempting. To complete the meal, we each have a plate of ‘oil’ rice (RM1).....tasted like a plain rice!

I couldn't feel the presence of the herbs in the soup. But luckily, the pig stomach and pork ribs were soft and tender. CAN EAT LA!!!

This is the best dish I've ever tasted. Stingray meat was very fresh. The special home made sauce was also very fragrant which are made up of red chilies, 'bunga kantan' lime leaves and other secret ingredients. Crunchy ladies finger and slices of onions complement this superb dish. THUMBS UP!
