Situated at the oldest parts of Petaling Jaya is Heng Kee Bak Kut Teh, a Chinese Restaurant specialising in Bak Kut Teh. This restaurant has been a stalwart for Bak Kut Teh in the PJ Old Town area for more than 35 years and has attracted many people from other areas to come and be a part of the experience. Only open for dinner, it is very common to have trouble finding a place to have a seat in this restaurant because of how crowded it can get.
Like most Bak Kut Teh restaurants, customers can expect a similar package with the bowl of Bak Kut Teh here. So, customers can expect to find their favourites such as pork ribs, three layer pork, pork intestines, and much more. However, there are a few slight differences to be expected here at Heng Kee Bak Kut Teh. One of which is that the Bak Kut Teh is served in bowls as opposed to claypots, which helps with moving around the table and sharing with large groups of people.
Besides this, the other ingredients like the mushrooms and beancurd sheets are served separately from the main bowl. Long-time customers feel this helps get the purest flavour from the pork broth. Another thing worth mentioning is that the Bak Kut Teh served here is of a lighter variety than the Bak Kut Teh you will find in places like Klang and Subang Jaya, which is a welcome change for fans of this herbal porcine soup.
So if you're a fan of Bak Kut Teh, you should definitely make your trip to Heng Kee Bak Kut Teh a priority. With a name and reputation that has stood the test of time, and continues to grow with time, it's hard to go wrong with trying out the Bak Kut Teh here.
