Klang Bak Kut Teh and Fried Porridge Newish Bak Kut Teh stall in Kopitiam at 721 Clement West St 2. Offers Klang style Bak Kut Teh and Fried Porridge. In fact the stall reminds me of the Old World Bak Kut Teh stall at Blk 727 that closed around end 2021. But this stall is a lot more expensive.
At $7.50 for a small serving of Bak Kut Teh, it’s not the cheapest. Flavour wise, quite close to what you get in Klang, with strong herbal overtones, tender meat from pork ribs, pork belly, fried bean curd and bean skin. And true to Malaysia style Bak Kut Teh, they offer sliced red chilli, chopped garlic and thick dark soya sauce as condiments.
The fried porridge was $6.00. Portion is large enough, full of umami. The little bits of pork lard helps, as does the burnt bits at the bottom of the claypot.
Forget about the pickled vegetables. It tasted sweet and had a strange plastic tang in it. I did see the stall owner retrieving it from the fridge, contained in a ziplock bag.
The stall also offers drunken chicken, curry chicken and black vinegar pork trotters. Perhaps I’ll return to try these after I have gotten over the pickled vegetables experience.
