Get to know u from Sin Chew today, actually i more prefer the dry version BKT @ PJ. Shun Heng BKT @ Sunway Mas Commercial Centre. The Soup not so thick compare with Yap Chuan. But the dry one is more fragrance then Yap Chuan. Anyway this is juz my personal view !! Thks

I think the idea of having a dry bak kut teh is the same like having dried prawn mee, dried curry mee, dried koay teow soup etc. If there’s a soup version of a dish, there ought to be a dry version of it. But for dry bak kut teh, it is not as simple as adding dark soy sauce and omitting the soup. It is actually quite a well thought dish because of the addition of okra, dried squid and dried chili makes it much more fragrant.

I didn’t think from the cost’s point of view though.

Firstly, i will pose two questions –

1)Have you ever notice that, for those shops that sell individual bowl of BKT, they normally will frawn whenever you request for top up of soup (unless you top up a bowl of rice)? Especially those who really have delicious and quality soup, right?

2) And have you ever notice that those stalls who are willing to generously top up your soup request also have dried BKT?

Let me share with you my insights (Being a BKT lover myself and staying in Klang for some many years). Dried BKT meat is derive from the ones cooked in the soup type. They will then place the meat in claypot and add in oil, some Cheong Chan caramel sauce, a lil bit of oyster sauce, dried chilli, slices of ladyfingers and bits of dried cuttlefish for the taste. Which is why they call it dried BKT, and they do serve a bowl of BKT soup to go with your order.

Now ……let me tell you a story about the reason people created or sell dried BKT at their shop. Believe it or not is entirely up to you la…..

You see, all of us BKT lovers love the soup and normally would want to top up the soup many many rounds right? In order for the BKT sellers to meet the customers requirements, they need to use more meat and bones to prepare the soup. But at the same time, if they continue to sell only soup base BKT, they will still face the same problem. Hence, they come up with an idea and serve you dried BKT. Some people people prefer dry BKT and would have taken less of the soup. This way, they have some “Savings” for those who soup lovers.

What do you think of this theory of mine?

Please share your views and comments.

Hi,

I went to this bkt last nite and the taste was the worst bkt i ever taste….

Normally bkt come with button mushroom, chinese mushroom… this 1 only come with rib, or any part that you order. (pork,taufu pok and etc)…

Klang bkt is the best… rite?

vk: Hi Ai Choo, did you order the dry or wet Bak Kut Teh? I hope you know Yap Chuan is famous for the dry Bak Kut Teh Of course I agree that Klang’s BKT is the best
