Heritage stall for ba kut teh serving it on individual bowl so that the aromatic herbal pork taste does not dilute due to the mix of ingredients.

One of their specialty recommended is the braised mushroom which shouldn't be miss.

Apart from its local favourites, PJ Old Town also houses one of Yi Poh Lou Shi Fun's outposts outside of Seremban. The corner shoplot's marble table and wooden chairs make for a comfortable environment, capable of catering to groups of families, friends and colleagues. Tastemaker Kaelyn reports that their Yi Poh Lo C Fun (RM7.50) is as yummy as the one she had in Seremban, so whether or not you've tasted the original, try this. Each bowl renders long strands of rat-tail noodles, doused in minced pork and char siew. Elevating the experience is their specialty chilli sauce, a spicy sambal-like concoction that will have you breaking out in sweat, but also dying for more! We can only thank heavens that Yi Poh sells these in take-home jars. The Classic Red (RM13) is light red with moderate heat while the Special Red (RM16)'s chunkier outlook resembles chilli oil, handsomely seasoned with dried prawns.

If you crave bak kut teh but don't want to make the drive to Klang, this rustic location will do right by the rainy day comfort. Like in Klang, Heng Kee's Bak Kut Teh (from RM12) is served in individual bowls — perfect for diners in a group who find themselves at odds when ordering. Get a bowl of ribs and pork belly, and another with mixed innards. The broth here has a herbal base, but be warned, it's not as thick and concentrated as some might like. Instead, expect fragrant but mild flavours, which will please soup-drinkers who can go at it without feeling too thirsty after. Order also their Braised Mushrooms (from RM8) steeped in a tasty sweet sauce, as well as Blanched Vegetables (from RM6), a toss up between romaine or iceberg lettuce with oyster sauce.

Running the business out of their own home, the family behind Jalan 1/21's secluded pork noodle shopfront relies mostly on regulars to fill seats. If you're in the area, hit up the homely spot for a soupy fix. Their mainstay of Pork Noodles (from RM6) sees a straightforward bowl of clear soup noodles topped with a wobbly egg and minced pork. The more impressive lineup lies in their add-on options. The array includes soup dumplings, homemade fish paste, pork innards and, if it hasn't sold out yet, yong tau foo. For 80 cents a piece, the dumplings never fail to satisfy. Made of prawn and pork mince, these are soft and tender with an occasional crunch of turnip and carrots. Pro tip: Head towards the back of 99 Speedmart and look out for house number 27 to find this nameless nook.

The bak kut teh broth here isn’t as thick and herby as the ones you find in Klang, but if you’re in the area and looking for a soupy, meaty bowl of goodness served with a side of tofu pok, this will do. Drink it while it’s hot.

BKT price list:
RM12 (small)
RM24 (medium)
RM36 (x-big)

Located deep inside Jalan Pasar, after spending some time to research on the exact location (tip: use Google map instead of Waze, it's the house right next beside 99 Speedmart), we finally managed to find this pork noodle spot. Location wise is kinda tricky because this shop do not have any banner, it's run by a family that serves pork noodle for their customer with the convenience of their own house space (tip: the house number is 27).

Ordered soupy pork noodle, the broth is the bomb for cold rainy days.. satisfying and comforting at the same time. My favourite part is slurping the runny egg yolk with their broth. You can also choose whether or not to add taufupok and dumpling to your bowl of pork noodle. The dumpling is handmade, stuffed with cilantro, radish and more fish meat inside, do have a try ;)

Oh gosh, finally get to try the 姨婆老鼠粉 in KL..Taste as yummy as the one I had in Seremban. The sambal is so spicy but addictive.
🔹Everything is good, just that quite hard to get a parking there.
🔹Price range between RM7.50- RM8.50
