Now let’s get down to business. Dad had been raving about this new restaurant, Hong Bee Bak Kut Teh that he claimed to serve the best Bak Kut Teh. For the benefit of those who doesn’t know what the hell Bak Kut Teh is, it’s actually a Chinese dish whereby pork ribs and other ingredients such as mushroom and beancurd skin are boiled for hours in herbal broth or soup. Anyways located at Jalan Ipoh (no it’s not the popular Ban Lee Bat Kut Teh), it’s a new restaurant that i admit have great tasting Bak Kut Teh. It’s been a while since i had some thick herbal aromatic broth since most of the Bak Kut Teh places nowadays serve the dish with diluted broth. The cook is actually a friend of my dad. He used to have his own Bak Kut Teh stall at Jinjang area which we would frequent but because of the un-strategic location, the stall was closed. Now he is working at Hong Bee as the cook. I can tell you that uncle really knows his stuff. I haven’t tasted any Bak Kut Teh as good as his since i had it as a child. The Bak Kut Teh broth is extremely aromatic and tasty. Served with my favorite Yao Char Kway (fried bread stick), i couldn’t have enough. Plus the pork is tender. What i loved most is that everything doesn’t taste as oily because there’s not so much pork fat compared to other Bak Kut Teh i had. Besides the great Bak Kut Teh, Hong Bee is also quite popular among patrons for its Sang Pou Pai Guat. The pork ribs here are boiled in rice wine from raw so that when the ribs are finally ready, the alcohol would have been absorbed by the ribs. Since this dish takes quite some time to prepare, patrons would have to order about 1/2 hour in advance and Hong Bee only will prepare this dish if there are more than 2 customers per table. Can you see how thick the soup is? Thumbs up! The roasted pork was equally delicious. We ordered another pot of these. Again the pork is very tender, not those hard to chew type. Sweet and aromatic. I should think that this is one of the best Bak Kut Teh places i’ve been too. The place is clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend it to friends. 1 x Sang Pou Pai Guat Total: RM120.00 (sorry there is no exact price for each dish because the lady boss didn’t provide receipt and i forgot to ask) ———————– Hong Bee Bak Kut Teh
