Yip Weng Bak Kut Teh (叶荣肉骨茶)

Klang, the arguable birthplace of bak kut teh, is the only place where you can get amazingly seductive dried bak kut teh and soup based bak kut teh all served on one table. Ginger was spending some quality time with friends around Klang and was brought to dinner at this place, Yip Weng Bak Kut Teh.


Dried bak kut teh in its entire splendor served in a claypot

This is the first time Ginger tasted dried bak kut teh and it left a deep impression. A good one I must say. The taste is richier than the conventional soup based bak kut teh, suitable for some one who prefer strong aroma and taste like me. The pork slices were cooked with okra and dried chilies.


Soup based bak kut teh

Meanwhile, the soup based bak kut teh is flavourful. It has a reasonable strong hint of herbs though not overpowering. We had the "bean bubble" (豆卜) with bak kut teh soup. The bean bubble absorbs the soup, making it rich in herbal flavour



If you have yet to try dry bak kut teh, do remember to try one when you get to Klang next time.
