Chuan Chiew Restoran, SS14

Chuan Chiew is one of the oldest Bak Kut Teh shops in SS14, Subang Jaya. The shop looks old and tired, but don’t, just don’t judge a restaurant by its looks! It serves the best bak kut teh in this area.

We ordered just 3 dishes this time around to be shared amongst the two of us.

Pork trotters in vinegar – I love this dish as it wasn’t too sour. And the bonus was that the pork trotters were moist and tender. The gravy went so well with rice that I had to order an extra bowl of rice!

 

Bak kut teh – we chose the soupy version as I don’t really enjoy dry versions of bak kut teh. After all, the fun and joy of BKT has always lied in the soup! The soup was still bubbling when it was served. Yes, it was THAT hot! This aromatic soup was just perfect. It had sufficient amount of herbs yet the tong kwai wasn’t overpowering.

 

 

The yau mak was slightly oily by my standards but it was very tasty.

 

Well, for the record this meal came in about RM35 - that's with drinks and rice as well.

Wing Hiong, Jalan Yap Ah Shak

This is a Bak Kut Teh chain with quite a number of outlets located within the Klang Valley. We were famished and needed some really good energy booster to take us through yet another long day at work.

We opted to sit upstairs where the air conditioning was better and the place definitely looked much larger. 

This is dried bak kut teh (RM13 per pax), something which I don’t really fancy as I always prefer BKT to be with soup. However, I must say that the pork stomach was very palatable, In fact it was great!

The pig intestine in this bak kut teh (RM12 per pax), YES, in soup, was absolutely perfect. Unlike those I’ve eaten elsewhere, the intestine was well cleaned and the texture was just right. On top of that, the waiter & waitress too were very obliging each time we asked for additional soup.  And, how can I forget about the herbal aroma that tickled my senses!

This looked nowhere near the yau mak we ordered. It was actually kai lan (RM8), but we didn’t object as the young  kai lan  tasted really good as well.

Pork tendon (RM16)  – something I don’t really fancy. To me it was just like eating starch!

Steamed Lala (RM22 for a large portion)  –I love this dish a lot as it wasn’t too spicy nor was it tasteless. In fact it was absolutely heavenly that we polished it off within minutes of it being served.
