Man Shan Bak Kut Teh Penang — Restaurant in George Town

I recently dined at this restaurant, which boasts a fully air-conditioned environment, offering a refreshing contrast to the sweltering heat outside. The Bak Kut Teh served here presents a distinct departure from the traditional roadside version. The soup is notably rich and infused with a robust pork flavour, creating a hearty and satisfying dish. If you appreciate a deep, meaty taste in your soup, this version is definitely worth trying.However, the dining experience wasn't without its drawbacks. The service left much to be desired; I had to request a refill of the soup on three separate occasions before I finally finished it. This recurring issue somewhat detracted from the overall enjoyment of the meal. Despite these service shortcomings, the quality of the food was commendable. The rice was well-prepared, and the vegetables were fresh and flavourful, complementing the main dish effectively.In summary, while the restaurant’s service could use improvement, the quality of the Bak Kut Teh and the other offerings make it worth a visit. If you’re looking for a different take on this classic dish, along with a comfortable dining atmosphere, it’s worth stopping by to try it...

Lets discuss about the food first: We order 4 main dish ( Bak Kut Te Soup, Pork Belly Salted Fish Sauce, Mala Trotter, and Sautee Cabbage) and 1 drink (Wu Long Tea). My fav. Are 1. Bak Kut Te Soup, 2. Pork Belly Salted Fish Sauce, 3. Sautee Cabbage. Btw the Mala Trotter also good but i cant eat chicken leg so i put the leg on the side hehehe but overall its amazing!

The shop is now in perak Road facing padang brown. . Bakuteh soup was still good as last time. Meat was tender, and they served exactly as our request of half soft bone and half pitk rib. The service level was improved. Attentive service and even proactively asked us wanted to refill soup or not. 4 stars

We ordered pineapple side dishes and vegetable side dishes, but all below my expectation. 2 stars

Pu er tea was good in quality. 3 stars

Bakuteh was delicious. The soup was outstanding. Similar to klang Valley style. Meat was tender and soft. 4 stars

The vege just so so. But it is great to eat along the bakuteh. 2 stars

Unfortunately, the service was way below par. (1) I asked for refill soup but ended up never refill for us, although I reminded few times. (2) send me my order with some ingredients missing. If I was not alert, I may be paying same amount for 50% of lesser...
