Klang Lek Bak Kut Teh @ Teluk Pulai
In Klang, Taman Intan is no doubt one of the popular places to hunt for Bak Kut Teh. Aside being near to the toll exit (easy to find) it is also a concentrated area of Bak Kut Teh shops with some pretty good ones too like Fong Keow and Hok Lai.
Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh is also a crowd favorite at Taman Intan. From what I observed I feel it is the most popular around with the most customers. But it’s amusing to me that the shop is actually located at Taman Intan. The same applies for the other shops that claim to sell ‘Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh’ but the shop is just no where around Teluk Pulai!
So to satisfy my own curiosity I went to Teluk Pulai in search of an authentic Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh. And I found one called Klang Lek Bak Kut Teh. Established back in the 70s, it is one of the oldest surviving Bak Kut Teh shop around. The shop looked modest and simple, and what delighted me the most was perhaps the lack of crowd, or should I say no crowd at all – hence a very peaceful meal.
The huge yet tender chunks of meat were greatly appreciated and the soup was tasty with a signature Klang Bak Kut Teh taste. You would know exactly what I am talking about if you have had experience with Klang’s Bak Kut Teh.
If I had this in Klang Valley I would have praised it sky-high. But the fact is I was having it in Klang, birth place of Bak Kut Teh so I had to set the bar much higher. Because when I compared Lek with Ah Her Bak Kut Teh that we had later that day at Pandamaran, there’s simply no fight. But at least you will not be disappointed, that’s for sure.

There’s just too many choices of BKT in Klang. So it’s kinda difficult to know which is original, which is good, which is so so and so on. I tried a few places but somehow still that there’s nothing special. Maybe I’m eating at some of the wrong places lar. But anyway, good review.

I have tried most of those shops and I like the Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh the most.

How do you tell the places that are crowded because it’s where everyone else is, vs the places that are crowded because that BKT is the best?

I think one of the best and most unique Bat Kut Teh in Klang that I have tried is the dry version.
From what I hear dry Bat Kut Teh is a Klang specialty. Great review!
Cheers!
