Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh

Klang | Selangor, Malaysia

Famous Claypot Bak Kut Teh in Klang, Malaysia.

This heartwarming dish known as Bak Kut Teh is popular in Malaysia and Singapore.

Bak Kut Teh (肉骨茶); literally means Pork Bone Tea. and it is one of Klang’s most famous dishes, which is why you can literally find hundreds of Bak Kut Teh Shops in Klang itself.

Having a wholesome breakfast on a weekend morning is probably one of our biggest motivations to waking up early. It is 7am in the morning and we’re in Klang, which is about 30 minutes drive from KL city center. We’re here at Teluk Pulai (Claypot) Bak Kut Teh, it is known to be one of the popular Bak Kut Teh restaurants in Klang. Just as the restaurant name suggests, we’re here for a delicious meal of Bak Kut Teh.

Klang is believed to be the birthplace of Bak Kut Teh in Malaysia. There are two variants of Bak Kut Teh which we have ordered, the original Soup Based Bak Kut Teh (肉骨茶) and the Dry Bak Kut Teh (干肉骨茶).

 

➡️What We Ordered:
1. Bak Kut Teh (Soup) 肉骨茶: RM15.00 (1 Portion)
2. Bak Kut Teh (Dry) 干肉骨茶: RM15.00 (1 Portion)
3. Add on Enoki Mushrooms: RM5.00
4. Oil Rice: RM1.30 (Per plate) x2
5. Yau Char Kway (Youtiou): RM1.50
6. Chinese Tea (Tie Guan Yin ) 鐵觀音/ 铁观音: RM4.00 (per pot)

The Soup Base Bak Kut Teh is the classic OG bak kut teh, It is basically a pork dish with a thick pork bone broth that has been boiled for hours with the pork bone , and in this restaurant, it is served in a claypot.

The main ingredient in the Bak Kut Teh dish is the Meat and the broth. You do get to choose the different parts of the pork such as the Pork Belly, Pork Ribs, Lean Meat, Pork Intestine, Stomach and so on. If you’re indecisive and do not mind eating everything like us, you could request for mix parts.

The Claypot Bak Kut teh has other ingredients as well, there is the chinese lettuce, fried tau pok (tofu puffs), fried fu chuk (fried tofu skins) and some sliced canned button mushrooms – you can totally customize to your preference. We have added the enoki mushrooms into the dish since we both love our mushrooms.

The Dry Bak Kut Teh was only discovered/invented later in the recent years, it is covered with thick dark gravy, the ingredients is different from the soup based, it has the pork meat, dried chillies and some cuttlefish.

Along with the main Bak Kut Teh dish, you have the oiled rice. Do ask for the fried shallots if you like some extra crispiness and fragrance to your rice.

 

Yao Char Kwai goes really well with the broth.

In every Bak Kut Teh that we eat, we always need our Yao Char Kwai or YouTiao 油条 (Chinese Fried dough). The Yao Char Kwai has been chopped into bite size pieces, and we love dipping it into the broth as it soaks up all those delicious flavour! Condiments such as chopped chillies and garlics commonly comes with the Bak Kut Teh as well.

 

Verdict, we have found our new favourite go-to Bak Kut Teh shop to satisfy our cravings!
