New and clean Bak Kut Teh place. Price is comparable with competitors but the portions are unparalleled. I'm a big eater and was really full from a 2 pax meal. The broth is thicker too.

The smell was tantalisingly good! Soup has a strong herbal taste & it was pretty thick. Meat portion also acceptable.

Best BKT in town ...excellent taste and bigger portion than most. Way better than those in Klang. Their original branch from Kepong Indah used to be from Sg Buloh long time ago. Superb!!! Finished to the last drop!

The bkt is really good. And the service was top notch. Possibly because the shop wasn't full. Anyway, worthy of a 2nd visit for sure.

Found another Bak Kut Teh Restaurant with its own style/signature. Broth are thicker, with stronger herbal taste & smell and on the sweeter side. Portion is bigger than our regular BKT restaurant near by. The 'oil rice' balance off the broth nicely. Price for dinner of 3 person (serving of 2 person - pot) is comparable to our regular place. Will come again especially on a cool and rainy evening.

New Klang style Bah Kut Teh in Kota Damansara Going to KD area often enough to know what's new in this notoriously congested area. 2-3 weeks ago I noticed that this new BKT shop underwent renovation. Fast forward last Sunday, I saw that they had opened for business. Haven't eaten bah kut teh for quite a long time, we took a punt and walked in. The premise was empty when we walked in which made me questioned my decision. But the sight of the friendly waiter who attended to us, plus the tidy & clean + well-spaced restaurant changed my mind. ◾They serve Klang style Bah Kut teh ie. In a bowl and not claypot. ◾Choose your tea from the basket packed with various types of tea - oolong, puer, cha Wang anyone? Hot water is self service ya ◾After that it's time to choose your pork cut - I picked nuan kut, kha wan & tua kut... which the lady boss would dig from the stainless steel pot and cut on the spot before serving in a porcelain bowl - just like Klang. Don't expect big claypot laden with ingredients. ◾They do serve yau char koay aka fried fritters.. to my daughter's delight as she love dunking those stuffs into the soup and eat. Note: 1) price per bowl of meat is RM24 inclusive of rice - at least that was what I'd read on the cardboard pasted on the wall - but I can't be 100% sure. 2) the bah kut teh broth has this strong herbal taste, similar to some of my fav BKT places in Klang. For me, it satiated my craving for Klang BKT which I seldom go nowadays.
