Klang and bak kut teh go together. The herbal pork rib soup is the town’s most famous dish, and people drive in from all over the Klang Valley for it. After a hot, peppery, herbal bowl, there’s one thing you need: something cold.
Klang and bak kut teh
Klang is widely regarded as one of the homes of Malaysian bak kut teh. The Klang style is known for a dark, herbal broth, often eaten for breakfast or lunch with rice, youtiao (fried dough) and Chinese tea.
Why dessert after BKT works
