Xhin Fhong Claypot Bak Kut Teh Restaurant | 瓦煲肉骨茶 | Restoran Xhin Fhong Claypot Bak Kut Teh — Restaurant in Petaling Jaya

I'm from Klang, so I'm picky with my BKT. Of the comments that says this place is "traditional bak kut the," they are categorically incorrect! There are needle mushrooms and choy sam in their fantastic BKT, which to be completely accurate is considered a variation, not the tradition.

Nevertheless, I am raving about this place in several aspects. They ask if you eat intestines. I gladly do, but it's an option to those who don't.

Plus, they serve their medley of meats and veggies, which you can check out of my photo or other's posts. They don't specifically do variations, which takes the guesswork from novice BKT diners, and they benefit with a little of everything--ribs, belly, shoulder, pig ears, even small intestines! What gets better than serving every part of the pig!?

What I found special about their BKT soup is that the flavor is still clear and strong, despite having vegetables in the stew. When veggies are added, the soup flavor changes. Theirs don't, which means they cook the veggies separately, so the flavors are not adulterated. And it's not oily, which I think it's a great thing. Usually the garlic flavor is all in the oil, the soup is still nice and garlicky.

One last thing to have about this place is that it's a family business, and they treat you like family. They took care of my family and other young adults in my table well, which speaks volumes about how they treat their customers. Nobody who properly reviews any eating establishments should forget about the customer service of that establishment.

Walking into this house brings me back to the 80s when visiting my great grannys - a typical wooden chinese settler dwelling with concrete flooring, high ceilings, on a massive compound with a toilet detached at the rear. Bak kut teh is served by a friendly hokkien lady who is multi-lingual. She has been living on-prem for the last 35 odd years, after getting wed she tells me. A single portion had so much meat, balanced with a generous amount of straw mushrooms and green lettuce and taufu puffs. A loaded meal in a comfortable, homely setting. Parking is available at the temple front and a short walk is much needed after a heavy...

Good service, aunties were very friendly, and the uncle who manned the cooking station was shy, but accommodating. Though they were busy serving their customers , there was always a smile on their faces.
