This tropical-themed Bak Kut Teh spot is tucked away in a basement, got that mysterious hidden gem vibe. There's also a little photo corner for customers to snap some photos.

Read moreStumbled upon this hidden gem in Pudu – Tropical Bak Kut Teh – and I was honestly impressed! The moment you walk in, it feels like a tropical rainforest. The environment is spacious, relaxing, and super unique.

Read moreTruly delicious Bak Kut Teh! The herbal soup was rich and full-bodied, just the way it should be, with deep flavors that warmed the soul. The pork was braised till perfectly tender, absorbing all the goodness of the broth. I especially enjoyed dipping the crispy you tiao into the soup—it soaked up the flavors beautifully and added a nice crunch. Service was friendly and very efficient, with staff always smiling and attentive. The whole experience felt like a comforting home-cooked meal. Definitely a place I would return to and recommend to friends who love traditional...
