Dry-style Bak Kut Teh at Khoon Klang Bak Kut Teh

Khoon Klang Bak Kut Teh, Perak Road (19 March 2016)


When I asked the folks on my Penang Hawker Food Facebook Group to recommend a bak kut teh stall, many of them mentioned Khoon Klang Bak Kut Teh on Perak Road. Although I have seen the stall before, I have never eaten there yet.

So one evening my wife and I decided to go there for dinner. The stall occupies a shophouse off Perak Road. There are tables being set on the service road, and we took an empty spot.

Khoon Klang Bak Kut Teh offers two types of bak kut teh, the regular "wet" style and the less common "dry" style. As we haven't tried dry-style bak kut teh in Penang before, I ordered that. In addition, we ordered the springrolls, the eu cha koay, and two bowls of yam rice.

This is how the dry-style Bak Kut Teh looked like:

There is a lot of stuff in the bowl, though not much meat. I don't really remember any spare ribs or the namesake "bak kut" in the bak kut teh. The gravy is stick and salty. As this is the first time we had dry style bak kut teh in Penang (and the last time we had it was very long ago), I can't say whether a dry style bak kut teh is supposed to look like this. On the whole, I quite enjoyed it, though it was very salty.

Springrolls at Khoon Klang Bak Kut Teh (19 March 2016)


The springrolls were ice cold on the inside when it first got to our table. My wife was had the first bite. We had to send it back. They brought us a new set of springrolls, this time sizzling hot.

What I like about Khoon Klang Bak Kut Teh is that they provided us a bowl of soup, to go with our dry bak kut teh. And they topped up the soup without our asking for it.

The eu cha koay and the yam rice taste fine. There is copious amounts of chilli and garlic at the table, so you can eat as much as you want.

The bill came to thirty-something ringgit, inclusive of drinks. We felt it was a bit on the high side, considering that the amount of meat in the bowl was not that much. I am planning to return to Khoon Klang Bak Kut Teh again, to try out their regular, wet-style bak kut teh, which is more common and can help me make a better comparison with bak kut teh elsewhere.
