Lai Choon Bah Kut Teh, Klang

Overall comment: The best bah kut teh that I've ever had so far :) I'm very pleased! The meat was tender, the soup was power-packed with herbs & spices (the way I like it!), & the dried bah kut teh's sauce was aromatic & tastes just-right. I'm gonna go there again!!
Halal: No

Bah Kut Teh (BKT) lovers shouldn't miss this! Strangely, I'm not a great explorer (by myself) when it comes to food. This place was introduced to me by my uncle, who lives in Klang. It was a totally rewarding meal for me! I'm looking forward to coming back here for both their dry & soup BKT although they're more well-known for their dry BKT.

A little more about this place: Lai Choon Bah Kut Teh is located off Jalan Meru, Klang. They started as a humble stall more than 10 years ago & have been operating their business in this shop lot since a few years back. They're well-known for the dry BKT as this 'style' of BKT is not as popular in Klang (compared to the established soup version) & good ones can only be found in certain coffeeshops/restaurants. You can't miss this coffeeshop as it's behind Klang Parade & is always packed; people will just willing to wait for a vacant table!

As per most BKT places, you'll find a good variety of pork (every other part!) & their intestines. I'm glad that the intestines here are clean & yummy!

Dry Bah Kut Teh (approx RM10.00/person - depending on the meat ordered)

Anticipate a sizzling hot claypot of fragrant dark sauce with bits of dried cuttlefish, dried chili, & the load of pork-of-your-choice! Some places have bits of lady's fingers as well, but I don't recall this one having that ;) The taste of the dish is just perfect. It's not too salty, slightly spicy to give it some "umph", & the tender, juicy pieces of pork just goes so well with the fragrant white rice. If you order the fat parts, you'll get some melt-in-your-mouth pieces from this pot! Oh my goodness...writing about it makes me crave for some porkilicious goodness...

A Guy's Dream-Come-True (approx RM10.00/person - depending on the meat ordered)

Can you see the FAT?? I told my uncle I want some fat on the meat as lean meat is usually rough & not so pleasant to my tastebuds :P He ended up ordering the pig's elbow, if I'm not mistaken, & it's shockingly FAT!! *geli!* I couldn't eat up all the fat...it was just too much :S But the meat was very good! Oh, I'm a BKT soup person as well, so I had to have approximately 3 medium claypots of soup per meal! This soup was power-packed with Chinese herbs, the way I love it :) My uncle was laughing in surprise when he saw me asking for more soup, bowl after bowl, pot after pot!

Intestines

You either love it or hate it...haha...I enjoyed this :D "More soup, please...."

'Sparkling Clean'!

Check it out....we're BKT monsters!!

Yours truly wiped this clean!

The sauce was just too good to be put to waste. I used my pork from the soup BKT to 'wipe' this claypot clean...oolala...moremoremore! My uncle asked me to 'sapu' as he was very thrilled to see me eat so happily...hahaha...I'm such a monster :S (oh, the weight gain....)
