It was my second trip to Klang in a very long time, and Kee Heong Bak Kut Teh was a good reason to visit.
We wanted comforting food after an emotional visit to Nirvana Memorial Park (Shah Alam), a classmate’s final resting place.
We craved something warm and soothing that felt like a hug from an old friend.
It wasn’t that far by KL standards, but little Penangite in the car felt like we drove all over Selangor!
Kee Heong Bak Kut Teh is a well-known establishment in Taman Eng Ann, Klang.
It’s a neighborhood brand serving authentic Klang-style bak kut teh for over twenty years and remains a favorite among locals.

Kee Heong offers the traditional soupy bak kut teh and the flavorful dry bak kut teh.
The soup has a well-balanced herbal, savory, and sweet taste.
It has a slightly thick, syrupy texture from the dissolved collagen.
It is brewed with 16 herbs, including Dang Gui, Dang Shen, Red Dates, Goji Berries, Licorice Roots, and Yu Zhu.
The meat is tender, juicy and plump from absorbing the broth’s herbal goodness while retaining its natural porky sweetness.
We also enjoyed a side of your tiao (dough fritters), though the texture could have been crispier.
Jeannie encouraged us to try the pig trotters, which were full of collagen, giving them a rich, gelatinous texture.
Fatty, tender, and full of gelatinous goodness—these braised pig trotters are pure comfort food.
Jeannie and Theresa enjoyed the fatty cuts of meat and the braised intestines.
Slow-braised to perfection, these intestines absorb every bit of the savory, spiced broth.
I amusingly stuck to my Yew Char Koay and bean curd.
Each dish brought its charm, catering to different palates.
Delicious Bak Kut Teh in Klang
If you want a more comfortable dining experience, Kee Heong Bak Kut Teh also has an air-conditioned dining room.
The wait staff started by offering a selection of Chinese teas in sealed packages, and we chose Pu Er to pair with our meal.
Jeannie and Theresa ordered.
We got jiggly, fatty pig trotters in a clay pot.
Some pig intestines are incredibly delicious and add a unique touch to the dish.
The bak kut teh was very aromatic and marvelous, and the service was fast.
We missed out on trying the Dry Bak Kut Teh, said to be fantastic—rich in flavor and loaded with tender meat.
It’s stir-fried with aromatic dried chilies, cuttlefish, and a thick, flavorful sauce that clings to every bite.
It’s a must-try for those who love a bolder, more intense version of this classic dish!
The bak kut teh taste is excellent, and the price is reasonable, about RM60 for three pax.
The generous portions at an affordable price make it a great value!
A Klang Staple
This flagship Kee Heong outlet has a nostalgic, kampung-style charm.
Most customers are regulars, and the friendly staff know everyone.
If you’re visiting Klang and want authentic herbal Bak Kut Teh Kee Heong, it is definitely worth a visit!
What we didn’t order was the Dry Bak Kut Teh.
