The Famous Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh (强记肉骨茶) at Kota Tinggi, Johor.

Heard about this Famous Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh (强记肉骨茶) (N1.82772 E103.95845) many years ago, because of the business hour is too short...I got to drag it till now only had the chance to enjoy it!

Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh at Kota Tinggi, Johor.

Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh is located along the main road from Kota Tinggi town to Mersing. It's just about 1.6KM before the junction to Sedili Besar. It's a wooden restaurant with a Attap (Nypa Palm) roof, like most of the wooden house back on the 60s with the reminiscent setting...

The dining area...

Despite the hot weather, the environment was quite cooling maybe because of the attap roof...:)

We were there about 10.30am, and the restaurant was packed with customers which patronize with locals and Singaporeans! That's the reason the pork ribs will finish normally almost noon time...
I do noticed most of the Nice Bak Kut Teh is cook by charcoal and same as this restaurant...

All claypots synchonize at same times...

The frame of charcoal

There had many staffs working in the restaurant, the foods served on table fast! Don't worry!

Less than 15 minutes, our Bak Kut Teh served...

As usual, we had a the Bak Kut Teh for 1 person with salted vege, yau-char-kuai (Chinese fritter) and a bowl of pork tripes soup (my favorite)!

The claypot Bak Kut Teh from Kiang Kee served with still bubbling broth

Satled vege

Yau-char-kuai

Pork tripes soup

The pork ribs were traditionally cooked to melting tenderness with my favorite strong herbal savory soup! It's difficult to taste this type of soup nowadays! The tripes was just nice with the pepper broth, soft, with chewy texture! It was one Delicate tripes I ever had! The others just normal...

We were satisfied with the meal especially with the reasonable price! Worth the drive from JB to Kota Tinggi 'just' for the Bak Kut Teh!
I will defintely come back again for the braised pork knuckles and others!

If you are a Bak Kut Teh lover, you cannot miss this one! Do drop by!

The shop was pack with peoples on my visit. It was a Saturday morning. The foods serve in less than 10 minutes after we ordered. That's fast!

Frankly, the porks the serve were much big portion than the Franchise at Permas Jaya, but not as soft as Permas Jaya Shi Hua Bak Kut Teh.

The intestine was good!

We called it "Spare Part" locally

I still feel it's reasonable price, because of the portions of the fish and others.

Among all, the Stingray was the best! I never taste this before! It's really special....And it's good for those who don't take spicy grilled stingray.
About the Bak Kut Teh, nothing to shout about. It's just acceptable like others...

Leng Kee Bak Kut Teh, Muar, Johor

After we left Malacca, the journey continue to Muar town - another historical town. It's about 30 minutes drive from Malacca town.
I remember 2 of my friends from Singapore (Silverbeauty & Redstorm) told me there's a Bak Kut Teh they never miss on every trips to Kuala Lumpur. They definitely drop by Muar for it! I manage to get the GPS coordinates from them and want to try it too! :)

The navigation machine direct us to Jalan Khalidi, but we can't find any shop or stall after we reached the destination of the coordinates provided. So I decided to drive further to try our luck. Finally it's located about 700 meter away from the GPS coordinates been given!

The signage faded until I can't really read it! (N2°02.382' E102°33.837')

The shop is located actually opposite of a Car Showroom (It might be Toyota, cannot remember well....). We reached there around 3:30pm and it's time they gonna close, luckily we managed to convinced the boss to serve us as the 'last customers for the day!'

Our order :-
1) Claypot Bak Kut Teh.
2) Claypot Vinegar Pork Leg.
3) Assam fish.
4) Marinated salt & sweet vege.




The taste of the Bak Kut Teh was average if compare with the best in JB. The Claypot Vinegar Pork Leg good! Assam fish was above average, but the Double Lim is better!
The above meal cost us MYR27.00 for 2 adults & 1 kid included drink. Cheap?? I was really surprised!!

Overall, I rated : 3.5/5

Shi-Hua Bak Kut Teh, Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru

Shi Hua (Wah) Bak Kut Teh (N1°29.865' E103°49.182') at Taman Permas Jaya is one of our favorite!! It's located at the junction of Jalan Permas 9/3 and Jalan Permas 9/5, just next to the Jusco Shopping Center Permas Jaya.

We usually visit it on Sunday morning and always pack of peoples! The average time for the foods to serve is 15 minutes, for me.....it's still acceptable. :)

This is what we order normally, the pork is gentle, my family love it very much. And they maintain the standard of the food all the time!

Prices are reasonable. Less than MYR25.00 for the above meal.

* Shop name corrected from 'Shi Hua' to 'Shi Wah' Bak Kut Teh. (30th Nov 2008)
