Motormouth From Ipoh – A Malaysian Food Blog

Hainanese Chicken Chop – At RM7.50/USD2.30 per portion; this is a throwback to the glory days; the colonial times when our ancestors were great cooks, whipping up lip-smacking dishes in the kitchens in the British residences.

Sin Kok Thye, or New Cathay could possibly pass off as another run-of-the-mill coffee shop in a part of Klang town that has obviously seen better days. Port Klang on a Sunday is deserted; you don’t even see the ‘foreign army‘ scrambling around, making ends meet at the main gateway by sea into Malaysia. Just before you reach the port, you will bear witness to rows of slightly dilapidated shophouses; in no way a haven for food hunters.

But wait, then there’s the almost century old Sin Kok Thye on Jalan Kem in Port Klang. A corner lot at the end of a row of double-storey shops facing a flyover (still operational?); a pork-free establishment reminiscence of the other Hainanese coffee shops like Yut Sun of Taiping and Yut Loy of Kuala Kangsar. Read on to find out more about the Hainanese cuisine served at this charming coffee shop ….. CONTINUE READING THE REST OF THIS ENTRY »

In my last post, I compared Telok Pulai Bak Kut Teh on Jalan Teluk Pulai, and a spinoff  (?) in Taman Intan, which is easily accessible from the Federal Highway. But along the row of old, somewhat dilapidated shophouses on Jalan Teluk Pulai in Klang, lies ANOTHER gem of a Bak Kut Teh outlet, simply named; Klang Lek.

Klang Lek Bak Kut Teh -A rather spacious restaurant that’s shady and cooling, with less attitude to boot

Bubbling hot cauldron of porky goodness @ Telok Pulai Bak Kut Teh

I’ve successfully earned the ire of Bak Kut Teh aficionados with my post on Klang’s Famous Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh, especially those staying in Klang, or born/bred/raised in the royal town of Selangor. Much like how we Ipohans quarrel, fight and swear by his/her own favourite Tauge Ayam (Nga Choy Kai/Bean Sprout Chicken – the undisputed champ of Ipoh street food), and the constant tirade against Lou Wong and/or Onn Kee being over-rated, commercialized and so forth.

Peng Heong Hakka Paikut Restaurant in Klang takes pride in its impressive 16 years run in the gourmet scene, previously operating at a stall on Lorong Gudang Nanas in Klang. The humble stall has since into its own premise, a corner lot on the same road off Jalan Pasar in Klang.

The exceptionally tender, almost melts-in-mouth texture of the spare ribs marinated and served with a sweetish gravy – Spare Ribs King, no doubt.

“Paikut” refers to spare ribs, and at Peng Heong, their signature Spare Ribs King is a boneless fillet of tender pork served in a variety of portions. Priced from RM6, onwards for a serving, one can opt for the bigger portions at RM8, RM10 and RM20 respectively, proportional to the chunks of meat served with their traditionally-concocted sweet and savoury sauce.

Still reeling from that hangover? Long weekends, peppered with so many offdays = FUN. If only we have summer/winter holidays as well. Wouldn’t that be ideal?

Felt bad to have snapped the uncle while riding a bike … but no flash, no worries.

One of the oldest Bak Kut Teh (BKT) in Klang, the town seemingly synonymous with BKT, traffic jams and erm, the Indian street, Seng Huat is commonly referred to by the locals as THE Bak Kut Teh under the bridge, in the older part of Klang town.

The 2nd or 3rd generation of the legacy that is, Seng Huat

The paper cuttings dated some 10 yrs ago … testament to its popularity transcending generations?

Single portion for RM6.50

Mixed Pig’s Innards (RM6.50)
