Currently I am really hooked to Dry Bak Kut Teh. Ever since I tasted it in Yap Chuan, I have been craving it especially when I am really hungry. Thankfully there’s Yap Beng in Equine Park, Seri Kembangan. Yap Beng is a Bak Kut Teh restaurant that serves good Dry Bak Kut Teh, almost equaling the standards of Yap Chuan.
I have eaten here a couple of times and have always left as a happy and satisfied customer. Not only the food’s good, the price is quite reasonable for me too.

What I really like is the Dry Bak Kut Teh’s fragrance and the heavier taste compared to the normal Bak Kut Teh. The dried shredded squid plays the biggest role in this dish providing most of the flavor. They look like small broken noodles in the photo. I just love taking photos of Bak Kut Teh, they always look so damn delicious.

Their Bak Kut Teh is of course not as tasty as those in Klang, but is still quite good compared to others. And I find the herbal taste in the soup is quite strong. Although this serving looks big, it is actually a set meant for a person only @ RM8.

Secret Recipe recently launched a promotion of RM10 for a set meal, dine in only. I guess you have probably received it in your email or read it from forums. From what I saw it was very well received, especially among ladies. To be honest, the thought of eating at Secret Recipe never really crossed my mind because it’s not cheap. Anyway, yesterday I decided to give the promotion a try.

A slice of Chocolate Banana cake @ RM6.30 as appetizer before the meals arrive. This is one of my favorite cakes!

There are only 3 choices for the chicken main course: black pepper, BBQ and mushroom sauce. All of them cost RM13.50 each and comes with some salad and rice. The BBQ Chicken tastes like the Chinese sweet and sour chicken.. didn’t really had any BBQ flavor. ‘Gu lou yuk fan’ maybe also taste better

The set meal also includes a glass of iced lemon tea, which costs RM5 if ordered ala carte. Nothing special about the Mushroom Chicken, and the meat was dry.. The cake was the nicest throughout the whole meal lol. And keep in mind that RM10 is not the nett price for the promotion, as it does not include the 10% service and 5% government tax. My calculations concluded that it’s about 40% discount on the food, if all ordered ala carte.

I felt the service tax was kinda undeserving because the staff was a not as friendly and had this sour face when serving us. Just FYI I dined at Jusco’s Secret Recipe in Seri Kembangan. And from what I read in the forums, some outlets can even be out-of-stock for the promotion.. So, better ask first before you go in lol. Oh yeah, actually you don’t have to print this voucher out too.. They didn’t bother to see mine
