Nyonya and Dry Bak Kut Teh At Bak Kut Teh Yu Yi Restaurant Jalan Kuching KL by Best Restaurant To Eat

These days, there are many designers’ food in town, chef have become more creatively i.e speciality burger like Ramen Burger, Charcoal burgers and etc are some of it. It seems that Bak Kut Teh is also following on this trend, a decade ago, dry version of Bak Kut Teh came about. It becomes an instant hit for some.

Here at Yu Yi Restaurant which is located at 88, Jalan Kepayang, Off Jalan Kuching, Taman City, 52100 Segambut, they have develop a Nyonya version of the Bak Kut Teh. Bak Kut Teh Yu Yi had been established for more than 30 years with their founder shop in Old Klang Road which is opposite the market.

For this Nyonya version, the meat are cooked in the Bak Kut Teh broth and then it will be cooked again in a claypot with added chillies, spices and condiments to come out a new Nyonya version. They have also added ladies fingers to enhance the dish.

The chef uses mainly pork ribs and bony meats with minimum layer of fats. This ensures that it will not be too fatty. This version is aromatic and the meat still retains the smooth texture and the infused taste especially the pork ribs.

You have a choice of 3 types of rice to go with the Bak Kut Teh i.e. Plain white, Shallot oil rice or Long bean rice (first time trying this) - nice to eat as it is. I tried on the 3 types but my preference is on the white or shallot one. It goes better with the gravy.

Dry Bak Kut Teh

The other Bak Kut Teh we had for the night is the Dry Version. This version is similar to the one eaten in Klang but it is a wetter version as the one in Klang that I have eaten tend to be very dry and oily. The fragrance from the aromatic dry chillies just permeates through & the taste of the ingredients lingers in the meat.

Taste wise, it is a little bit sweeter and they also use the ladies finger and dry cuttlefish too. It comes with a bowl of Bak Kut Teh broth to give you the extra kick. Just like the Nyonya Bak Kut Teh, this dish is best eaten with plain white rice, as you can really savour the flavourful gravy and cuttlefish.

Yam Chicken

Not many food are cooked with Yam as one of the main ingredients. My first impression of this Yam Chicken was not that favourable from the looks of it. It looks very gooey and the thick yam gravy does not lend any support to make this Yam Chicken very appetising at all.

When I taste the first bite of the chicken and yam, it actually woke my senses in that the taste was very flavourful and nothing short of heavenly.

Looks can really be deceiving in this case. The gravy was infused with strong taste of curry leafs and silky smooth aromatic cooked yam. The first taste impression of this dish, in that it was quite similar in taste to the butter sauce chicken with the taste of Yam.

Pork Leg In Thick Soya Sauce Bak Kut Teh Yu Yi Jalan Kuching KL by Best Restaurant To Eat

Pork Leg In Thick Soya Sauce

The pork leg serves here is of a braised soya sauce version. The chef have painstaking taken the effort to braised until the pork leg to a smooth texture which you could easily slurp. I would have preferred the pork leg to be a little chewy type and will make me enjoy the pork leg better.

Here, the taste is not that flavourful and quite plain. It would have been better if the chef have used smoked garlic to bring out the best of the soya sauce.

Fried Abalone Mushroom Bak Kut Teh Yu Yi Jalan Kuching KL by Best Restaurant To Eat

Fried Abalone Mushroom

There are many version of Fried Mushroom in town. Here, the Fried Abalone Mushroom was very aromatic and savoury. These were served warm to bite, with crispy edges and just the right amount of batter (i.e. not too thick).

We were advice to try out dipping the deep fried mushroom in the Bak Kut Teh stew instead of using the famous Yau Cha Kwai (Chinese twisted crullers). It is a different experience and tasted quite nice and delicious.

  

Another new way to eat Deep Fried Mushroom. Yummy yummy
