Since we just gotten keys to our new place in Shah Alam, we’ve been making numerous trips to sort out the usual stuff associated with purchasing a new home. Not coincidentally, the place we bought is also just a stone’s throw away from Klang, which is quite convenient for a bak kut teh fan like me.

So we drove to Pandamaran, which is located closer to Port Klang and parked the car near Ah Her bak kut teh, a place we’ve been a few times prior. But instead of going to Ah Her again, we decided to check out one of the few other BKT stalls located along the hawker strip at the area.

This particular place is only known by the stall number – “Gerai 78”

Gerai 78 offers both wet and dry versions of bak kut teh, so for the two of us, we ordered a single portion of each, and both laden with “non lean meat”. We had initially asked for innards, but those good stuff already ran out even though it wasn’t even 7:30 pm yet.

The bkt comes in a clay pot with plenty of fuchok, a healthy dosage of well cooked pork, some vegetable, and mushroom. The soup is thick though not as “herbal” as I prefer. It’ll be top notch in PJ and KL but I guess rather average as far as Klang goes.

The dry version is pretty basic and unpretentious, there’s no okra nor any part of the pork charred. I thought overall it was more than decent but perhaps not one of my favorite interpretation of dried bak kut teh.

If I want more soup, I may still come here, otherwise I’m hoping over to Ah Her. But either way, you can’t go wrong.

It’s Klang yo!

    Seems like everyone is moving to Shah Alam, last year alone I visited 10 new homes in Shah Alam!

    I’d love a decent pot of bak kut teh anytime! I hardly have them nowadays, don’t really like Penang’s version, I think the soup here has a very mild taste compared to what we get in KL and better, Klang.

      CL: haha I guess Shah Alam offers a decent price point for properties vs location in Klang Valley.

    I am also interested to know how do you ‘cope’ with moving from PJ (where everywhere is relatively near) to Shah Alam where it will require some driving to most places…
    But I do agree that the new houses in SA are value for money given that the prices in Klang Valley are really expensive these days.
