4. Subang Jaya, Subang

7. Taman Connaught, Cheras

Their BKT is different from most places as the meat is tied with strings and boiled in thick broth for hours to create the oomph flavours of herbs and spices and hence the birth of string tied meat method. Doing so, the fat in the meat will be squeezed out during the expanding of the meat, similar to the ‘massage’ process and the layer of oil can be taken out while boiling the soup, making it less oily. It also helps in retaining its juiciness and tender texture while keeping it intact in one piece.

All dishes are served

in one portion bowls (RM9.50 per bowl) with fire source beneath the bowls to keep them warm. You will be spoilt for choices with different parts of the meat in the menu. To add in to the original feel of bak kut teh, the cock symbol is stamped on every tea cups, bowls and plates.

The outlet that I went to was in Taman Connaught, Cheras. Went there for lunch with my two other friends. We orderd Pu Err tea which is to be served in cute little cups (different from the type used in most shops).
