Hua Mei Bak Kut Teh (華美)

Apparently one of the most popular and oldest BKT joints in Johor, having existed for 50 years! Sadly the bak kut teh broth was a disappointment - not as herbal or flavourful as I would’ve liked it to be. But the meat was juicy & tender, especially the pork belly. I think I’ll stick with my Klang BKT.

A chance encounter with this little bak kut teh shop that has retained all its old-school charm, serving herbal bak kut teh fired over charcoal. We were conservative with our orders at first, but we ended up ordering everything they had on their lean menu cos we loved it. Makes for a good quiet breakfast at this quaint corner of JB.

Tucked in a sleepy corner of the street in Johor, Hwa Mei gets excessively busy in the late morning. Everything really hits the mark at this charcoal-fired joint but make sure you don’t leave without ordering the pigs skin. That really is exceptional.

The Soup type is the teochew Version which is Clear. Now I Going to Recommend u all the Dark Version of Bak Kut Teh which is dark Sauce Hollie Version of Bak Kut Teh. As I Enter the Shop House it is kind of Antique. Initally was thinking the Soup will serve in Claypot I was wrong it serve in a Small Bowl. When the Bowl of Soup was served it is all 🍖 no vegetable added. I kinda feel Eating this feeling Jelak. The Owner also tell me adding Enoki 🍄 will destroy their soup base. Well since there is no vegetable I cannot predict how can the stall owner sell Alot ? Those who think KSL is travelling distance. This one is near the JB custom. 5 min Walking Distance From Custom.

It would be better had the meat off the ribs be more tender. The soup while savoury was lacking of the herbal soup taste which was characteristic for Malaysian version of Bak Kut Teh.

Cooked using the traditional method of charcoal, we couldn’t resist but to order almost everything on the menu. No regrets because they were so delicious I could easily finish 3 bowls by myself, maybe 4! You have to order the pig skin if you are a fan of nice soft supple ones - these are cooked to perfection and full of bite.

Again back to my main point, this is the reason why I really don’t have a ‘bak kut’ figure and will probably never be able to achieve one. But I don’t really care because I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
