    We’ve been wanting to visit this famous Lao Hokkien BKT shop for a long time, and we finally made it. The menu looks impressive, but the food was just okay.

    Long waiting times are expected given the crowd, but not serving food on a first-come, first-served basis is a definite deal-breaker. When I raised this with the lady boss, her immediate and instinctive reaction was denial—she claimed the…

    I ordered takeout today: fragrant dried bak kut teh, and my favorite braised pig's feet in vinegar—so gelatinous and perfectly sweet and sour. The stir-fried stingray was slightly spicy and incredibly fragrant.

    The bak kut teh soup was a bit bland. The stir-fried fish was good, but the portion was a bit small. The braised pig's feet in vinegar was delicious. The place was spacious. There were plenty of parking spaces in the back.

    The broth of braised pork belly is rich and flavorful, while the broth of Klang Bak Kut Teh is relatively mild; everyone's taste is different. Some people may prefer a milder broth, while others may prefer a richer one.

    Looking for a delicious and affordable dinner? Lao Fujian (Sea Cucumber) Bak Kut Teh is a great place to go. Their braised pork knuckle and orange peel chicken feet are very popular and worth trying.

    Quite delicious for me although for BKT the taste is quite subjective. Different diners have differences for BKT. Service and parking ok. For lunch at noon, it's quite hot.

    The dishes were tasty, but the meat in the Bak Kut Teh was tough, like it had been leftover meat reheated. Overall, it was okay; the soup was good.

    This restaurant sells good Hokkien bak kut teh. We ordered the set. The portions were generous.

    Kong Bak (braised Pork nuckle) is GOOD, the wet BKT below average. Dry BKT and Fry shark fish is ok.
