Located in Taman Century, at a road junction barely 100 metres from KSL Resort Hotel / KSL City Mall, is one coffee shop that is called Ba Jie Bah Kut Teh (八戒肉骨茶) during the day and Da Cheng Lok Lok (大成渌渌) in the evening. It is a shared premise that is occupied by different stalls throughout the day — and night.
Everyday, before 3pm, Ba Jie Bah Kut Teh will manage the premise and sell its claypot bak kut teh. Another stall called Tien Tien Wan Tan Mee (天天好面) serves noodle dishes.
Ba Jie has several styles of claypot bak kut teh. Its Signature Bone Bah Kut Teh (招牌大骨/小骨) has option for either "big bone" or "small bone". Also available are the typical soup-based Bah Kut Teh (肉骨茶), dry-style Dry Bah Kut Teh (干肉骨茶) in dark sauce and Lala Bah Kut Teh (啦啦肉骨茶) with white clams added. Apart from pork ribs and other piggy parts, sea cucumber is also served as a dish in claypot.
The Signature Bone Bah Kut Teh with big bone (招牌大骨) comes with a rather chunky portion of pig belly meat that comprises bone, meat and gelatinous skin. The "big bone" meat, boiled in herbal soup with mushrooms and vegetables, is very tender. The soup has a pleasant herbal taste that is not too strong.
The other bak kut teh dishes are rather unusual and I will try them in subsequent visits — better to be in a group to go for the premium items.
