I have always spotted Ah Wang Bak Kut Teh to be crowded with people. Situated just under the flyover next to Tesco in Old Klang Road, it was only minutes from where we stay. Perfect!As usual, the place was packed to the brim again that night. We had to wait for about 10 minutes for a table to finish and be cleared. Thankfully, the ordering process was prompt and food was served in a jiffy.Since there were 3 of us, we ordered a serving of 3 portions BKT with primarily lean meat. We did the mistak

Since there were 3 of us, we ordered a serving of 3 portions BKT with primarily lean meat. We did the mistake by specifically asking for lean meat in our BKT, because the pot came with ONLY lean meat! But I guess we learnt from mistakes. Apparently, you have to specify clearly what you want in the soup. Luckily I asked for beancurd sheets (fu chuk) during the order or the pot would just be filled with lean pork.
Don’t forget to order the Chinese Crullers which go hand-in-hand with the savoury soup. Dip them in for a short while and give it a good bite to experience the burst of flavours, literally.
Apart from the BKT, we noticed almost every table ordered fish. Following suit, we asked for recommendation and decided to order the ‘Si Chap Fish’ or translated to soy sauce fish. It was steamed fish topped with a spicy concoction of soy sauce, garlic and chilli among some, so it was spicy and savoury. What was more notable was the freshness of the fish – the flesh was smooth, firm and flaky. This went very well with rice too.
The vegetables here were fresh and cheap, priced at only RM5 per plate.
The BKT here is flavourful but still lacked of flavour compared to the ones in Klang. Of course, given the big difference in distance, I wouldn’t mind trading off a little in quality for convenience sometimes, especially when it’s a rainy Friday night and traffic is a nightmare. If you love the light and clear version of BKT soup, do give this a try!
