It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that I am a huge Bak Kut Teh (肉骨茶) fan. It all started when I was a young boy when our family used to have bak kut teh almost every Sunday. The pork, the soup, the “yau char gwai”, it is simply the best Chinese food invented from this land. The last post on this category appeared some 3 months ago, so the time is right to have another one!
my personal pot of bak kut teh
Most of the bak kut teh at food courts and kopitiams that I have tried over the years have not been particularly rewarding, but that has never stop me from trying new stalls once in a while. My luck came when I found myself at Ming Tien some months ago without knowing what to order, so I fall back to my default feel-good food, the Bak Kut Teh.
ahh, the strong herbal taste of the soup
When the steamy pot of goodness arrived, I was utterly surprised by the aroma and flavor of the soup. Strong with herbal taste, the soup is pretty sweet and not over powering. On top of that, they serve old school oily rice that goes very well with the meat. No wonder there are comments on my ming tien dumpling post recommending me to this stall.
Ming Tien food court is located at Taman Megah, PJ
For a single portion, the price is in line with other bak kut teh places at around RM 8 or so. Try it out if especially if you frequent this food court. I reckon this stall sells the best bak kut teh in any food court that I’ve tried so far.

Seriously this BKT is not that great! It has loads of MSG laced in it and it really sucks!

Dangerous Variable,
I guess you might have some super sensitive tongue to MSG, so far I’ve had no such problem with that stall.

Just ask for the pork stomach soup BKT only. It does taste good but pricey. For the original one, try BKT Ban Lee at Jln Ipoh (next to Dynasty Hotel). That one is really good.
Do checkout my flog (tastybananas.blogspot.com) Link me too!

After read your blog,I go to Ming Tien and try what you so call the best BKT you ever had.Dissapointing ler…before I start to put into my mouth,I feel strange smell.You know pork have strong smell if you don’t really wash and cook well.I smell “Chu Yuk So” ler…,firstly I thought only me sensitive but my gf also smell it,YUCKS….
I don’t know,maybe this Ming Tien is the worse BKT I ever had.The soup consider so so only,taste abit like Klang style but still not that good as others.
Luckly they put some “kei chi” to cover the smell but still consider so so for me.
Hope you don’t mind,ok…

Kepong guy,
Ah, sorry to hear about your misfortune. I do think that it is one of the best BKT in food court, but certainly still a long way from many of the dedicated BKT shops. Maybe you went on one of their off days.
