Restoran Soon Soon Heng Bak Kut Teh (顺顺兴肉骨茶)

Original Herbal Bak Kut Teh (RM20)
I liked how we are able to customize and pick ingredients we like. Intestines were quite clean - minimal to no porky taste. Broth was flavorful, comforting and not too heavy

For people who like the herbal type of bkt as opposed to the more peppery ones we are used to in Singapore, this is a pretty decent option near KSL.

We ordered for 3pax, added pork knuckle, youtiao and salted veg+ shared only a bowl of rice among 4 of us and it was just right (LOL MY FRIENDS ARE TINY EATERS). I liked how we are able to customize and pick ingredients we like. Also happy to report that the intestines were quite clean - minimal to no porky taste. Broth was flavorful, comforting and not too heavy, wouldn’t mind being back if I’m in the area.

If you only had the peppery bak kut teh throughout your entire life, i think you are missing out. Right beside Johor Bahru’s KSL Mall, you can find a herbal bak kut teh store. Unlike the peppery versions of bak kut teh, this is much more savoury without the overpowering punch of pepper spices. Instead, this bowl of soup has a deep deep herbal-ish and pork bone taste. Every mouthful packs with flavour and deep pork bone soup fragrant that you will beg for more. Furthermore, the ingredients that come the soup is customisable (you can pick which ingredients you would like to be included into the soup), and very very fresh, the pig innards and meat are very well cleaned (no gamey-ness). To me, this is a fair alternative to the peppery bak kut teh that i absolutely love and still do, its definitely worth the try!

I love Sg version bkt, peppery and more flavorful. However as I cannot really take spicy.. this herbal version is much more “drinkable” for me haha. But because we get to add a lot of different ingredients (pacific clams!) in... the taste of Ba kut Teh has changed. Still, it’s cheap and comfy. 😋 #Malaysia #johor #travel

(Just right opposite KSL City Mall) It’s not an overstatement to say this is the BEST BAK KUT TEH! You get to pick n choose your own ingredients in the soup! I love it! All the fav in a Claypot! We love their small intestine, pork liver, fried beancurd skin, pork ribs, enoki mushroom, fish maw! The broth has a great balance of pepper and light herbal taste, it’s so unique that you get hooked to it! You only get to refill once so drink it sparely! So far, we hadn’t find the same feeling, taste in SG Bak Kut Teh... I’m so craving for it now!! #soonsoonheng #soonsoonhengbakkutteh #ksl #jbbakkutteh #bakkutteh

Herbal BKT place that’s usually crowded with reasonable waiting time. We get to customise our ingredients before being allocated to a table. Prices are slightly higher compared to other BKT stalls in JB but i’ll still be back for this! 😋
