PJ Oldtown - Meng Kee Bak Kut Teh

When you say bak kut teh (bkt) in oldtown, most people will refer you to Heng Kee, but unknown to many, just opposite Ah Lek fish shop and just outside the Magnum shop across the road from Public Bank.

This place is almost the only bkt place in oldtown I know since I was a kid, mainly because its my family's favourite and even when we no longer stay in oldtown, my mum will go there quite often to pack the bkt for dinner for the family to enjoy.

The style here is unique, just like heng kee, no claypot, just bowl and everything comes in its own separated bowls, the meat, the tau foo pok, mushrooms, etc.

The bkt here have stronger herbal taste and smells, just as you are walking to your table, the fragrant of herbal is all over the place. Soup is not as thick as those in Klang but tasty and less fat. Taste wise is more salty rather than the sweet type of bkt.

I guess each place have its own unique taste for bkt, from klang to sg. buloh to oldtown to KL, but it all depends on personal preferences. Bkt for 4 persons, 2 bowls of tau foo pok, 2 bowl of yau char guai plus some drinks and rices set us back by RM46.00.

So far, this is still my favourite bkt in PJ, sorry la, bias a bit, this is the bkt i grow up eating you know. Unfortunately, my makan kaki in video below don't know how to eat la :P
