Kepong Bak Kut Teh shops recommended to try

Bak Kut Teh may have it roots in Klang, but Kepong also putting up a strong fight. Kepong is just another Bak Kut Teh haven apart from Klang and it is easily spotted just like that. Driving around Kepong, you will spot many Bak Kut Teh shops easily which the shops usually located nearby each other.

1. Restoran Lieong Kee Bae Good Teh

Besides being one of the oldest Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Kepong, Lieong Kee is also one of the earliest to open for breakfast as early as 6am. If you think having Bak Kut Teh for breakfast is too heavy, the morning crowd here will be glad to disagree with you.

For first timers, I think it’s important to note that the style of Bak Kut Teh here might not appeal to everyone – especially those who have a particular liking for Klang style BKT. The soup here is clear with a very faint herbal flavour, extremely garlicky and tastes quite sweet.

Pork tendon is a specialty here and I can’t recommend it enough to be included in your order. Bak Kut Teh aside they also serve a number of other pork related dishes such as vinegar pork trotter, braised pork, pork kidney in Chinese wine and also ‘Sang Kuat Bou’, which is a special version of BKT cooked with fresh meat that takes about 20-30 minutes to prepare.

Business hours: 6am – 2pm, 6.30pm – 10.30pm (closed on Mondays)

2. Heng Kee Bak Kut Teh

If you frequent Kepong, you would notice that there are many bak kut teh restaurants with the same Chinese name – 兴记. This is not a coincidence because they are opened by the disciples of the same master who taught them the recipe. That also explains why their bak kut teh and supplementary dishes are so similar to each other.

The braised pork here is a must try and the fattier parts such as the knuckle are recommended for the best experience. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as biting into soft and bouncy skin, followed by tender meat and fat that melts away in your mouth. The rich sauce was delicious too, the best stuff to mix into rice and enjoy.

3. Ka Ka Bak Kut Teh

If you are craving for Bak Kut Teh during midnight odd hours, this shop can satisfied your craving. Ka Ka Bat Kut Teh opens until late night 4.30am. During dinner time you will see that this shop will be full with customers. The place was packed, until the shop houses behind were used to accommodate the customers.

“Zhu Jiao Chu” – Pork Hind cooked with Vinegar(it’s a dish for pregnant women) is one of their speciality that I recommend to try.
