Ah Sang Bak Kut Teh, Sungei Way
The other day I went for some wholesome bak kut teh for lunch with my parents in SS3. The place we usually go to is located right next to quite a large Indian temple in a small row of shop lots. Opposite the road is a block of blue colored low cost apartments.
That’s the best description of the location I can give, sorry… But if you can recognize the temple location based on the picture above, then you’ll know where I’m talking about.
The place is called ‘Ah Sang Bak Kut Teh’ and is usually quite full as we go there on Saturday lunch times. It’s so full that they usually run out of Yau Char Kuey (the fried dough thing) when we get there, so we actually bring our own (sounds cheap I know, but it’s a necessity). We even borrow some scissors from them and cut it for ourselves to eat. They don’t mind since they’re out of stock anyway.
I think the shop is run by a small family and most of the cooking goes on in front of the shop, where all the ba kut teh is cooked, the rice prepared and the soup is made. We ordered a pot of ‘just meat’ for 3, some tau hu pok (tofu puffs), a bowl of yau char kuey (we brought our own in case as well) and some vegetables.
This bak kut teh is the dark coloured soup base one that me and my family like, not the lighter based soups that other shops sell, and was extremely full of flavour. The best feeling has to be when you dip the little yau char kuey slices into the soup and eat it. It’s crunchy on the outside, but soft doughy goodness on the inside and it has soaked up all the flavor of the soup. Mmmmm…..
The pork was soft and tender and because they put so many bones into the soup base, the flavour was strong enough so that you could taste it all the way through the meat.
The board above our head said that it should cost RM10.50 per person including rice and Chinese tea, but we didn’t get any Chinese tea served to us. But it did end up costing RM45 for everything, including drinks, so I guess that was roughly correct.
Ask me again where it is if you want to go there and I could probably get you some better directions from my parents.
