B+K+T


Restaurant Teluk Pulai.
Taman Rahsna, Klang.
No bookings. No queuing system either.
Engrish: They don't speak Engrish. BON: -3
TTDWW: Make 3 pots of tea.


Bah Kut Teh literally translates Meat Bone Tea. BKT to Klang is like golf to Scotland. We invented the damn thing. It's a gluttonous broth of different herbs and spices cooked with pork, mushroom, lettuce, bean curd etc. Often served with rice. Goes well with Chinese tea and fried dough, hence the name.

When it comes to BKT, there's no clear distinction between good and bad. Only the ones that you're used to. There're different versions of BKT. The old school style would have only the meat you've chosen being served on a small porcelain bowl with blue patterns. The more widely accepted version, would be the clay pot, which is our favourite in Restaurant TP.

Some like the broth thin, some thick and heavy. Teluk Pulai is somewhere in the middle. Plus it's next to the Federal Highway, which means convenience when we're on the way out of Klang. Ramen remembers waiting for hours just to get a table during weekends.
