The Famous Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh (强记肉骨茶) at Kota Tinggi, Johor.
Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh at Kota Tinggi, Johor.
Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh is located along the main road from Kota Tinggi town to Mersing. It's just about 1.6KM before the junction to Sedili Besar. It's a wooden restaurant with a Attap (Nypa Palm) roof, like most of the wooden house back on the 60s with the reminiscent setting...
The dining area...
Despite the hot weather, the environment was quite cooling maybe because of the attap roof...:)
We were there about 10.30am, and the restaurant was packed with customers which patronize with locals and Singaporeans! That's the reason the pork ribs will finish normally almost noon time...
I do noticed most of the Nice Bak Kut Teh is cook by charcoal and same as this restaurant...
All claypots synchonize at same times...
The frame of charcoal
There had many staffs working in the restaurant, the foods served on table fast! Don't worry!
Less than 15 minutes, our Bak Kut Teh served...
As usual, we had a the Bak Kut Teh for 1 person with salted vege, yau-char-kuai (Chinese fritter) and a bowl of pork tripes soup (my favorite)!
The claypot Bak Kut Teh from Kiang Kee served with still bubbling broth
Satled vege
Yau-char-kuai
Pork tripes soup
The pork ribs were traditionally cooked to melting tenderness with my favorite strong herbal savory soup! It's difficult to taste this type of soup nowadays! The tripes was just nice with the pepper broth, soft, with chewy texture! It was one Delicate tripes I ever had! The others just normal...
We were satisfied with the meal especially with the reasonable price! Worth the drive from JB to Kota Tinggi 'just' for the Bak Kut Teh!
I will defintely come back again for the braised pork knuckles and others!
If you are a Bak Kut Teh lover, you cannot miss this one! Do drop by!
