8 Places To Enjoy Dry Bak Kut Teh In Klang Valley

8 Places To Enjoy Dry Bak Kut Teh In Klang Valley

Mention the word “bak kut teh” or BKT, and most patrons would prefer the classic herbs-infused soup version packed with assorted ingredients, namely pork meat and yau char kwai (Chinese fried crullers). But the dry version of bak kut teh deserves a mention too, even though it might not be as popular as the former. They typically serve it in a claypot and has a robust and spicy flavour by comparison with a mix of dark soy-sauce blend, pork meat and dried chillies. Below are the 8 Places To Enjoy Dry Bak Kut Teh in Klang Valley.


1) Restoran Yap Beng

Located at Equine Park, Seri Kembangan, the corner-lot Restoran Yap Beng specialises in claypot bak kut teh. They offer soup and dry versions, both of which are among the best I’ve ever tasted so far. But let’s talk about the latter. Their dry bak kut teh is flavourful, with all the ingredients such as pork meat and okra nicely coated with thick dark soy sauce. The meat itself is tender while the added dried chillies not only give the dish a nice, spicy kick but also tastes more appetising. Do note that Restoran Yap Beng is originally from Port Klang (Jalan Mesra at Taman Chi Leong, to be exact) and the one found in Seri Kembangan happens to be a branch.

Address: 26, Jalan Equine 9D, Taman Equine, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor.

2) Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh

My friend used to bring me here a few years ago and I remember it was the first time I get to try the dry version of bak kut teh. Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh turns out to be a crowd favourite, often packed to the brim during lunch hours. Even for a restaurant that stretches across 3 shop lots. Their dry bak kut teh has a nice balance of savoury and spicy flavours to it, thanks to the caramelisation of the thick dark soy sauce and dried chillies. It certainly goes well with the tender and juicy cuts of pork occupying the claypot. If possible, do order their herbal-licious soup version of bak kut teh as well.

Then, there’s the dry bak kut teh, which has a savoury-spicy blend of dark soy sauce and dried chillies mixed together with the succulent cuts of pork and other ingredients.
