Ba Jie Bah Kut Teh 八戒肉骨茶

If you have been to KSL City Mall, Ba Jie Bah Kut Teh is just a stone's throw away from the place. The stall name reminds me of the main character, "Zhu Bajie" in the novel journey to the west representing a pig.

The dining area was big and airy. Not only that, we had received friendly service from them.

Open Kitchen Area

Upon making orders with the staff, food items will be prepared on the spot over the fire. The aromatic herbal broth fragrance made us more hungry while with the air filled with the smell waiting for our food. 

What's Cooking?

We took a look into the kitchen and spotted their pot filled with pork and herbal soup.

Upon ordering, the kitchen helpers started to prepare our orders.

Preparing Order

Let's cut the portion

After some recommendations and discussion, we decided on these dishes.

Our Orders

Love the fact that the place was not overly commercialized. Knowing that we were there to try out the food, they suggest us to order a personal portion even though we are in a group. The Bah Kut Teh was flavourful and pack of herbal taste to my liking.

Salted Vegetables were topped with fried pork lard cubes, enhancing their flavour.

The Dry Bak Kut Teh was flavourful and topped with shredded cuttlefish and the dish was prepared with cut lady's fingers.

I don't usually take Pork Tendon but the braised sauce was too inviting and I had these smooth "gelatine" texture Sea Cucumber and Pork Tendon glide down my throat in a short time. The braised sauce was perfect for drenching on our bowl of white rice.

Pork Tendon and Sea Cucumber 猪脚筋，海参 - RM 20 + RM 30 

The sea cucumber was well-braised and smooth.

You Tiao with Bah Kut Teh Soup is quintessential for enjoying my meal and so to speak, I will find my meal complete with having them soaking up my hot bowl of herbal soup.

You Tiao 油条 - RM 2

Polite and friendly service from the lady. Love that the soup is filled with an herbal taste and strikes a good balance without being too bitter.

Impeccable Service

As a soup lover, I love that my empty bowl gets filled up from time to time. Really enjoy the kind of service received.

Refillable Herbal Soup

There are many Bah Kut Teh eateries in Malaysia and business is rather competitive. The food from Ba Jie Bah Kut Teh is decent, however, service was outstanding among the rest.
