Lai Heng Bak Kut Teh

This locally home operated BKT restaurant has been around for a long time. They are not like the usual ones that operates within the Klang commercial areas. Definitely a hidden gem only for true BKT lovers! Most klang people won't or have not heard of them. They are not that easy to locate but if you are familiar with klang and have your GPS pin point the exact location then you have no issues. 

As they are unique to themselves, this joint does not operate the same way like the rest of their other rivals. They only serve claypot so it's not like your usual pig cuts by bowls for the klang-ons whom are used to.

The oil rice has a great balance and it didn't come out too oily. It has a good fragrance to it as well.

The claypot servings normally comes with your usual few pieces of lettuce, mushrooms and 'fu-chuk' = tofu skin which is great. Makes a difference for usual Klang BKT like me whom always just chomping on the meat most the time! :)

The meat itself was really tender and it doesn't have the porky taste like some of the other BKT joints. I ordered the 'Sei Kut' = small bone which was really good because it wasn't too fatty and you know when you have the meat close to bone it's guaranteed to be super tender! 

The broth was really smooth and clearer than the usual ones I had. Guaranteed to be unlimited soup refills upon request unlike most of Lai Heng's rivals whom skimp on their liquid gold.

Overall the bak kut teh here is really good. Probably one of the best few I had in klang. And they being a family owned running from their own home you can definitely be guaranteed consistency in their quality. Don't assume this place will be quite since is out of no where. Make sure come early to beat the lunch crowd as Lai Heng is very well known among the local BKT lovers in Klang.
