Claypot Bak Kut Teh in IPOH

Lunch was at Jalan Chung Thye Phin Road, along Ave Maria Convent School.... My colleagues and I were quite hungry today so we ended up eating Bak Kut Teh....

Frankly, I don't really fancy eating .... Bak Kut Teh..... its all meat, meat and meat....and the smell of the strong herbal soup, some people love the taste of it, for me, so-so only, I don't drink the soup .... (then why was I there?) But this shop (sorry, I forgotten the name)...it is famous for this "tubak" (claypot meat) and since we were hungry, we ordered these ....


this is the stew pork...


this is the soup based... herbal based...a bit bitter to me..


the vegetables was the much preferred...


side dish "yau chow kwai"....(deep fried flour) dipped into the soup..
and of course with 5 bowls of rice, cost us RM40.00 + drinks

  11. Hi Reanaclaire, my old days I practically lived on bak kut teh and dim sum till didn't want to see any for life.
    Almost everyday would meet my contractors and get a "yum cha"...and of course it's bak kut teh....at Fu Choo Choon street, or Singapore North Bridge road or Kota Bahru or Penang Ayer Hitam....
    I guess I have eaten bak kut teh all 6 corners of Malaysia...
    Its a wonder no cholesterol problems....I don't miss it now....ha ha.
    You stay easy and have a nice day, Lee.
