Let’s get back on the project of trying as many bak kut teh as possible in the birth land of this amazing dish – Klang. Today we take a look at one of the small guys – an unassuming small corner restaurant near Klang Parade by the name of Restoran Xin Lai Hing.
Xin Lai Hing bak kut teh, near Klang Parade
We chanced upon this relative newcomer to the bkt scene in Klang while visiting one of our regular Vietnamese kopitiam at the area and thought to give it a try. Interestingly, in addition to bak kut teh, they actually also serve a small selection of Vietnamese dishes here, though we did not have an opportunity to sample those.
kahwan and intestine for 1.5 portion
For the two of us, we ordered a 1.5 portion of clay pot bak kut teh with a mixture of kahwan (around the ankle) and intestine. The dish comes with piping hot soup that is pretty strong in herbal aroma with a slight bitter note which I find quite pleasing. There isn’t much peppery note which may or may not suit individual taste but I do find it pretty good.
The meat is probably softer and more tender than most I had, and you can definitely cut it with a spoon, quite delightful as the fatty bit melts in your mouth. I also like the fact that the small intestine is stuffed with even more intestine, perfect for offal lovers.
There’s some tofu skin and a bit of tofu pok as well as few leaves of fresh vege in the soup, enough to give it a false sense of balanced meal, who cares?
stuffed intestine is good, the meat super tender as well
If you’re up to some really soft and tender pork, this is one that won’t disappoint.

Actually having BKT and Vietnamese pho in the same meal would be quite a nice pairing rite ;)))
Sean: haha yeah that would be interesting, tho they don’t really have pho I believe.
I’d like to follow you one day on a bak kut teh exhibition – learn from the expert. 🙂
The Yum List: haha can only try maximum of two places per day.
KY, planing to try this Malaysian restaurant in Chinatown San Francisco for Yelp has good rating. Not sure if it have youtous
Vickie: Give it a try and tell us! 😀
they serve Mykuali Laksa from the packet, no wonder so dang good, hiak hiak ROFL
Is it a norm for most BKT in Klang to have a very strong herbal taste in their soup? If so, then I probably won’t like them as much (I’ve only had BKT in Klang like 2 or 3 times in the past and they were so long ago I can’t remember the taste…haha!). I had one recently (that just opened in my neighbourhood) and the herbal taste was so strong….the shop advertised it as Klang BKT! >_<
eatwhateatwhere: yes, usually they’re strong but the note maybe different, some are slightly more bitter while others are more peppery. Pick your poison 😀
eh…. uncle…. no more kundasang meh? i want to see fried crystal vege dishes pwease, hiak hiak
immature: sooooon!
TQ

Hi, I am a staff of University of Nigeria and I think this is a good place to collaborate with.
