Jia Bin Klang Bak Kut Teh

It’s ok… nothing extra ordinary and a little too salty for me.

A lot of crowd here but we think it’s just ok. That as tasty as it looks but price is not bad.

Had both the Dry and Soul BKT and both really impressed - BKT herbal soup was delightful and comforting, with a right balance of flavours. The dry sauce was intensely savoury with robust sweetness and a tinge of spiciness.

One of the signature dishes, the dry BKT is a must have here at JBKBKT.

Meats were soft and tender and flavourful, sauce was thick and flavourful.

Served with a small bowl of their signature BKT soup as well, so best of both worlds.

Hailing from Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, this stall serves a robust herbal BKT made according to a decade-old family recipe.
.
Their soup takes after the Chinese Hokkien herbal bak kut teh (black) style popular in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. But there are several differences with their family recipe.
.
They use 10 herbs, omitting some which cause bitterness, resulting in a pronounced sweet savoury flavour to their soup / broth, followed by a light herbal salty taste. Less intense than elsewhere, very drinkable.
.
The claypot is filled with a medley of ingredients, all stewed till soft and tender, yielding easily when bit with a light chew, including pork belly, pig's stomach, pork ribs on the bone, tofu puffs, and pig's intestines.
.
Noticeably missing are the vegetables; button mushrooms are available as add-ons, lettuce and chye sim / Chinese flowering cabbage as sides.
.
The pickled salted mustard greens have a juicy crunch to texture, with a light salty vegetal sweet flavour, nicely balanced.
.
Overall, this is hearty, tasty, and comforting.
