Bak Kut Teh ( Pork Meat and Bone with Tea soup)
Usually people would recommend you go to Klang for Bak Kut teh which is about an hour outside of the city. Unless you want to visit that area I really dont recommend go out that far out for Bak kut Teh. I recommend this street for Bak Kut Teh because there is more than 10 stores on this street so you will never be dissapointed and easier to find seats without waiting.
I recommend the traditional sit on the street style Ah Ping Bak Kut Teh
But I have been to this inside air cond seated also its good . Kee hiong Bak Kut Teh
