I know that some or should I say most of you are bak kut teh lovers especially Chinese who loves herbal soup. Apparently, Klang is believed to have the best and original bak kut teh in the Klang Valley. I googled around to find out some of the popular restaurants that serves bak kut teh in Klang and then it came a decision for me to try out Restaurant Fong Keow (Pottery) Bak Kut Teh.

Finding your way here can be a little tricky especially if you have not been to Klang before. I quoted this short guide on getting here from this website to help most of you. If you are coming from Kuala Lumpur or Petaling Jaya, go to the Federal Highway and use the Batu Tiga and Taman Rashna toll plazas. Once you have passed by Taman Rashna toll, keep to the left and follow the signage to Jalan Batu Tiga Lama. Drive along this road and turn right at the traffic light. Go straight along the road and you will pass a small bridge and turn right immediately. You will see a school to your left along this road. Turn right at the junction and you will see the Fong Keow restaurant. The other two restaurants are located just behind it.

Basically the appearance of it when the claypot arrives on your table is somehow good in a sense that the claypot is big and it looks like there’s a lot of ingredients in it. Digging it up and you’ll find that there isn’t much of the ingredients there and the claypot above is after adding stuffs like ‘fu chuk’ and mushrooms. The price of it isn’t too expensive in which for one person it will cost RM10.00. Of course if you plan to add additional ingredients in it then it will cost you probably a couple of ringgits more.

Chinese tea is like a tradition to people who take bak kut teh. It is believed that the tea will help to dilute the fats consumed from the pork. You will have to self-service on this by putting the amount of tea leaves and then adding hot water into the mini pot from kettles stationed nearby your table. Purchasing a box of tea leaves should cost you about RM5.00.

The verdict, I believe that this restaurant is somehow overrated and the soup isn’t that fantastic like what most people say. There should be more restaurants out there in Klang that serves a better bak kut teh with a really strong herbal soup. Until then, I’ll keep all of you updated with the best bak kut teh in Klang when I have the chance to go there again.
