Yong Bak Kut Teh 荣肉骨茶

Was shopping at Liang Court today, decided to pop by here to check out the bak kut teh, as my friend working nearby recommended this place.

As I was there around 6+, the place was pretty empty. However, I believe the place probably is crowded during at night or on weekends, as there's actually quite a number of tables laid out outside.

Ordered a bak kut teh, pig intestine, a bean curd skin. Total bill including rice and you tiao was $10.80. Price wise is pretty reasonable. For a start, the bak kut teh itself is different from what you typically find. It is neither the clear peppery soup based we are familiar with, or the herbal ones of klang style. The soup is dark in colored, but actually has a peppery taste. The peppery taste isn't very strong, and seems to have the soya sauce taste from the pig intestine as well. In fact, it tasted a bit like a diluted version of the gravvy from the pig intestine, with the addition of pepper? Can't say I really love this version though. The pork itself is those drier type as well. Not sure can request for ribs though (I preferred ribs actually). The pig intestine was not too bad, and the portion is quite a lot actually, though the bean curd skin portion was just so so. I believe they seem to use thicker version of the bean curd skin, which is quite tasty. The bean curd skin does not come with any chicken feet though.

Overall, the bak kut teh here is average. If I happen to be around the area, I might go there again, but probably not going there specially it.
