One of the Best Bak Kut Teh in Klang

Lets talk about food. How about Bak Kut Teh. Yup, when you come to Klang, of course one of the food you have to try is Bak Kut Teh. People in Klang will give you lots of places to eat bak kut teh and you will have a headache trying to choose. Today, I will talk about one of the famous shop to ease the headache.

The shop that I will be talking about is Restoran Tek Seong. It's situated in Taman Rashna Klang. Where is Taman Rashna? Well, it's actually right opposite the Bukit Raja Jusco, which is actually on your right after the Shah Alam Toll, if you are coming from Kuala Lumpur. Another landmark for the 'taman' is that you will see a tall building with Maybank signboard on your left, after the Shah Alam Toll, if you are coming from KL. Here's the map:


It's marked red.

What is so nice about this Bak Kut Teh, you might ask. Well, it's the original Bak Kut Teh. Original means they serve only meat. There will be no internals or claypot bak kut teh. There will also be no 'char kuey'. Just rice and a bowl of bak kut teh. Yup, this is what we call original bak kut teh.

Lets talk about the food. That is the main thing of this entry, isn't it? For start, the price is good. For RM 7.60 (as of this entry date) you will get a small bowl. But...yes I did say but, the small bowl is actually big. If you don't believe it, try looking at this:


Yup, this is the RM 7.60 small bowl. For Rm 9.10, you ca get a bigger bowl.

The taste of the bak kut teh was very good, from my opinion. Due to my healthy eating habit, I found that the soup, which is actually the main thing about bak kut teh, was lacked of oil. However, the taste was still magnificent. The herbs' taste were blended properly. There were no overpowering of each herbs. The soup was not too thick or diluted.

The meat was tender. Not too soft or too hard. The portion of fats were also reduced in the meat. The owner's son told me that the secret to reduce the fat of the meat is to cook them for 2 hours. It means that they will start cooking at 4.30 am before their shop open at 6.30 am. Another secret was their meticulous cutting of the meat during the preparation on the whole afternoon before the business day. Yup, they put so much effort into bringing such a nice dish to their customer.

Business starts at 6.30 am, as stated above. If you go on the weekends, you might encounter this by 7.00 am:


If you are late, you will have to wait. Business is good.

They don't do lunch or dinner. Therefore, to enjoy nice food, you will have to wake up early to eat. The bak kut teh will usually sells out before lunch time. One of the best dish of the shop is the pork ribs. It is usually in high demand but this particular dish is limited due to the time needed to prepare the dish.

By the way, this shop is so famous that Ah Hong, the famous TV chef, came to try the dish out.

After this review, I hope you guys would rather wake up early for this delicious meal.
