Expert Pig Boiling


I am off to Pulau Ketam with Keith today, and we arrange to meet at 1-Utama at about 10 for breakfast (I can think of better places to go, but its easiest to get there, I suppose.

We forego the breakfast in the (virtually derelict and closed for renovation) shopping centre and head to Klang for bak kut teh in Pao Xiang Bak Kut Teh, which was delicious. I'd heard that 'pork bone tea' was best in this area, and there's no denying that... The Klang-ons certainly know how to boil a pig. 

For those that don't know, bak kut teh is basically a chopped up pig boiled in a herby soup until the meat falls off the bone.

Was slightly disgusted by the amount of fat on the pork belly in one of the soups (we have three mini-soups), but not as much as the toilets that were on the same floor – they were flooded with yellow piss stinking water – absolutely disgusting!
