getting ready, set, go....
Since it was a rainy day, I wanted something warm and comforting for my tummy to get me through the day. Hence, I turned to the nearest and best thing I can think of - claypot bak kut teh. Just a few minutes away from the office, through a small little road packed with cars and trailers heading towards Subang New Village, is bak kut teh heaven.
comfort in a pot (RM9.50 per person)
There's about 3 bak kut teh places around a small area - at the shophouses and this particular one housed in a wooden shack, right next to that busy road. Crossing the busy road (even with a car) can be quite a nightmare but put your signal and hope the traffic light up front quickly changes to red.
While this is the most popular outlet, there is very little choice here - only various cuts of meat in your bak kut teh (no spare parts, mushrooms and etc), served in a piping hot claypot. Even though the soup is not as fantastic compared to my favourite Teluk Pulai shop in Taman Rasau, it is still very warm and comforting. If you prefer, they do also serve vegetables, assam fish and vinegared pork trotters. Place gets packed for lunch and everyone will haphazardly double park around the wooden shack.

the close up of the FATTY portion looks scary .... *o*
ReplyDeletebut hey, it's comfort food rite? haha ...
i saw tat piece of fatty meat, u eat that too ? must be very good :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I don't think I've tried this before. Must intro to my parents since they love to travel in that direction for their BKT when dad's in search of obscure car parts (they still like Teck Kee in Subang Permai, though).
ReplyDeleteWas thinking of BKT yesterday as it was cold & rainy! Alas, there aint any around my office...sigh! The best BKT, for me, is still Ah Lek's in Teluk Pulai...
ReplyDeletehaha. I like the way u said "ready set go".
ReplyDeletei'm always ready for BKT!
How I love Malaysia bak-ku teh - full of herbal aroma and flavor.
ReplyDeletebakkut teh rocks the smoks....
ReplyDeleteI luv that 'comfort in the pot' line. Every trip overseas there will be the comfort from the claypot and banana leaf.
