Teochew Bak Kut Teh

This Teochew Bak Kut Teh (Pork Bone Tea - direct translation) is located at SS2, Petaling Jaya. My sis said that her friend told her that this shop was quite nice. Thus, family and I went for the try outs. Due to it was 2pm, not many people were in the restaurant. Only a few tables were occupied while others are empty.

First glance at the menu, there are a wide range of food to choose aside from the normal bak kut teh. They stir-fried vegetables, meat, chicken, tofu etc ... Since it's stated on the signboard is Teochew Bak Kut Teh, of course, the Bak kut teh is a must! You can choose to have with claypot or with bowl. Well, bak kut teh is not bak kut teh if there is not claypot.

Some side dishes that we ordered are:

#1: Fu pei

It's a deep fried tofu and we submerged them into the soup of the bak kut teh. Then, dip them with the dark soya sauce with slices of red chillies or bird chillies. It really goes well with it!

#2: Tau Pok
It's another type of tofu but, it's dried tofu. Way of eating is similar to Fu Pei.

#3: You char kwai (You tiao)

It's a deep fry flour (dough). This was to dip into hot boiling bak kut teh in the claypot. Don't soak it too long or else it will go soggy. Soggy "you char kwai" doesnt taste good. You much have the crispy plus chewy plus dripping wet with the bak kut teh soup.

The main characters are here. TAAAADAAAAAAA!!!

#1: BAK KUT TEH
I love the soup base very much. Unlike most bak kut teh that I have tasted, they either put a lot of msg or sugar to make the soup sweet. However, this the soup is really great. I dont feel thirsty after drinking the soup. Thumbs up!! Ingredients are a lot too. It's not like just bones and soup. The waitress will ask you which part of meat that you would like to have and what other stuff that you would like to put into. Here, we only have our pork ribs ... Hehehehe ... cos we dont really like a lot of meat ....

#2: Liver in Ginger and Wine

Mum's favourite is pork liver. Well, I like it though some times. Hmm.. .what's so special about this liver dish is not the liver but the soup. As the liver was overcooked. Should have told the waitress that we wanted 3/4 cook so that the liver will be softer in texture. I love the soup. I am a soup lover. Hehehehe watever it is as long as it's soupy, I just love it! The ginger aroma is really very strong. It combines well with the wine. However, it's a little "spicy" and burning though.

#3: Stir-fried vegetables

Just a normal stir-fried vegetables. However, it's not very oily.

Altogether, those 4 persons meal with yam rice cost only RM65 = SGD28. Cheap right?!! hahahahahha ... That's the only one thing that I like about Singapore. Hahahaha ... Things are just soo cheap!!!
