Klang Bak Kut Teh in Miri

It is a corner shop in Permyjaya. It is not air-conditioned, but luckily it is airy at noon. The shop was packed with the lunch crowd, and so it was very noisy. My friend and I could hardly hear each other in the din.

The menu was quite extensive, in that besides Bak Kut Teh, there was rice, noodles, meat and seafood dishes as well. But my friend and I decided to stick to what we went there for - Bak Kut Teh. We ordered one with everything in it.

Everything included big chunks of knuckles, slices of pork belly, pork ribs, intestines, stomach, deep-fried beancurd, beancurd skin, and lettuce. My friend griped that there was no liver which she loved.

Anyway, the herbal broth was thick and flavoursome. I loved to drink it hot. We ordered some deep-fried crullers separately. The crullers weren't the best that I'd eaten, but I loved them all the same, especially when dunked into the broth.

At this shop, you can choose to have your Bak Kut Teh with white rice or Yam Rice. And the both of us opted for Yam Rice.

And we both liked the Yam Rice. There were chunks of yam in the rice, and was subtly flavoured with dried prawns.

The Midin did not look very appetising. My friend thought it was too oily. But in fact, it did taste alright.

Well, I am not sure whether the Bak Kut Teh is as authentic as they claim to be. But I do like it here, and I don't mind coming back for more!
