The best bak kut teh is in Klang- roughly 30-45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur. It's also where bak kut teh was apparently originated. Teluk Pulai serves the dark dry-style bak kut teh, as opposed to the broth-style. Everything here is freshly made, fast, and smells amazing. I love eating organs, and the intestine and stomachs have a very nice herbal taste in the claypot. It's very old-school here, as there's no AC. Doesn't matter, lah. You come for famous local bak kut teh, so it's worth the discomfort.
We went at 11am, got lucky and found parking nearby immediately. The place wasn't packed, the service was great considering we had no idea how to order BKT. The bkt itself was soup-y but still herbal-y, so I enjoyed it very much. The meat was so tender, it fell off the bones without effort.
This is one of the more well known Bah Kut Teh restaurants in Klang that are known to people from KL, Subang, or Non-Klang residents. This restaurant is like the "McDonalds" of Bah Kut Teh as this place serves a high volume of customers on a daily basis and able to maintain their taste and quality. They are practically open everyday for business (apparently they only close for 5 days in a year and it's during CNY only) to ensure that they can serve their customers. My parents loved to order their Pork Tendons(It's always sold out due to limited availability). Due to the high amount of customer turnover, I sometimes find it quite stressful having to eat here as newly arrive customers will be standing around your table and kind of stare at you (Hurry Finish Up and Leave kind of expression). So my preference is to either arrive here very early (before the place gets packed up) or arrive late (like an hour before it closes) to avoid stressful situations. Do try this place first before you venture into Bah Kut Teh hopping in Klang, as this place is the "Gold" standard for Bah Kut Teh. Cheers!
This bah kut teh place is one of the most famous bah kut teh restaurant in Klang. It is well know to many that are not from Klang. Whenever I tell my friends about bah kut teh, most of them will tell me that they have been here. Someone have brought them here before and this is their to-go place whenever they come down to Klang for bah kut teh. In fact, it is also my favorite place to bring my friend to whenever they ask me to bring them to Klang for bah kut teh. This is because the taste of their bah kut teh is quite commercialize, people can get used to the taste easily. If you still don't know, Klang is a city famous for their bah kut teh, and there's bah kut teh restaurant everywhere. Each and every bah kut teh place have their own signature taste. Some, the soup may taste more herbal, some thicker. Some the meat is softer, some harder and some are very generous with their soup and some don't even serve extra soup! Telur Pulai serve a lot of out of towners, their meat are fairly soft and most importantly, they are not stingy with their soup. Although they're always packed with people, they're still very efficient (don't have to wait forever). That is why I like bringing my friend there to have their bah kut teh experience. Besides bringing people there, I like having my bah kut teh there too.
