Ah San Bah Kut Teh, Sunway Mas
Over the weekend, we decided to take my grandparents who are down from Malacca to have some good ol’ bah kut teh. We didn’t want to drive all the way to Klang so we decided to go to one of our usual bah kut teh place in PJ. This place, Ah San Bah Kut Teh, opened a few years back in Sunway Mas. It is frequented by most of the people who live in Damansara , Bandar Utama and Aman Suria area.
Direct translation ' Meat Bone Tea'
We are such usual patrons, that the uncle can even remember our usual orders. The uncle always greets us with a big smile on his face. Very friendly guy. Our orders for that day were
2 bowls of golden and button mushrooms
2 bowls of yau char kuai
2 plates of poh li sang choi ( Lettuce)
1 bowl of tau fu pok
1 bowl of yat ji guat (1 bone meat)
1 bowl of sam cham yuk (3 layered meat)
1 bowl of pig tail
Total Bill = RM107 (8pax)
All sounds abit weird putting it in english, I don’t think there are english names for calling dishes for bah kut teh. Its all done in cantonese here. Not long after ordering, the uncle went to his little ‘kitchen’ to prepare our meals.

The reason why we like coming to this place is because its like eating in your own neighbourhood, everyone knows everybody else. Plus the friendly service we get and the great food keeps us coming back for more. Another things is that the bah kut teh here is slightly different from the usual ones. The broth for this one is very light, its not the thick heavy broth that you normally find, so it has that very lite feel.
'One bone meat' so tender..Mmmm
Our favourite cuts of meat are ‘yat ji guat’ or roughly translated, one bone meat. You can see from the picture what we mean. I think its the upper arm of the pig (sounds so un-refined when said in english).We like this cause the meat is exceptionally tender, almost falling off the bone.
'Three layered meat' all in one
Another cut we always order is the ’sam cham yuk’ or Three layer meat. I think this is the cut where people use to make siew yuk (Roast pork). It has 3 layers of meat (Skin, Fat, Meat) all found in a single piece. So you get to enjoy the best of 3 worlds. We specifically asked for less fat cause alot of us has high cholesterol, so we had meaty sam cham yuk.
Mushrooms and yau char kuai to complete it all
Not to forget the usual order of yau char kuai and mushrooms, it won’t be bah kut teh without them. They complete the meal. We always order the mushrooms here because they are really generous with it. Me and my sister can finish one bowl each..we are so greedy.
Tea pouring 'ceremony' to close the meal
Lastly, to wash everything down, or rather wash away all the ‘fats’ , we must always end with a few cups of steaming hot chinese tea. Perfecto. You can also bring your own tea like many of the regular patrons. A delicious meal, especially when you get to share it with family. If you are ever in the area, do pay them a visit. You will definitely enjoy it.
