Leong Kee Bak Kut Teh Klang

I had such high hopes. But just not very good.
I’ll preface this review by saying:
A) I’m Malaysian and prefer the Klang-​style BKT over the peppery type, but
B) I really like the peppery Singaporean type too
The «Klang» BKT here just completely lacked any flavour or depth in the broth, and the flavour (whatever there was of it) didn’t penetrate into the pork either.
There was too much star anise and cloves, not enough seasoning, and not enough garlic.
The dry Claypot variety was better, and actually quite nice, but too sweet for my liking.
The yu char kway (crullers /​dough sticks) were soggy and had no texture, but soaked up the soup nicely and weren’t too greasy.
For one soup and one dry variety, two bowls of rice, a bowl of crullers and two drinks it came up to around $ 21 which is pretty good value still.
Maybe I’ll come to try again to see if they just had an off day.

Wow, Wow, Wow! I don’t want to ruffle my fellow Singaporean Unilocalers’ feathers as to who has the better version of Bak Kut Teh: Singapore or Malaysia, but can I say that Malaysia’s Herbal Bak Kut Teh trumps Singapore black peppery Bak Kut Teh?! …And there goes my Singapore Unilocaler fanbase, of which I have none. :D
I second my fellow Unilocaler, Lionel, that Leong Kee Bak Kut Teh is my favourite Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Singapore. The Bak Kut Teh is rich with herbal spices, has a thick consistency and served on a steaming hot clay pot. Brings me back to my experience of eating some of the great local Bak Kut Teh hotpots in KL.
The Dry Bak Kut Teh was equally as impressive, if not more, in my opinion. The Pork ribs were doused with black sauce and small red chilies and topped with Cilantro. The flavours of spicy and refreshing, all jammed into one dish. Simply, stunning…
Did I mention that all the Pork Ribs were juicy, tender and fell off the bone…
To conclude, you can’t really compare Singapore Bak Kut Teh with Malaysian herbal Bak Kut Teh, as they are two totally different dishes. However, if you are craving Malaysian style Hawker food, without having the need to cross the border, look no further than Geylang, but more specifically Leong Kee Bak Kut Teh. You won’t regret it.

If you’re looking for Malaysian-​style herbal bak kut teh in Singapore, this stall is a great place to start.
Admittedly, this is my first time trying this style of BKT (I’m partial to the peppery, Singapore style) but I will admit I was very impressed. We ordered one soup and one dry, ribs only because we’re not ready for pig trotters just yet! I could see the soup as a very comforting dish on a rainy day, and like Lionel O mentioned, the meat is very tender. Their dry recipe is… WOW. Lots of spices going on, great flavours, and who knows how long it’s been stewing because again, the meat was just so soft and tender.
If you’re in Geylang looking for bkt– this is your spot.

I’m not gonna write much because I reviewed the beach road outlet which has already closed. But this is the same brand. Only in geylang!
No matter what anyone says. This is absolutely my fav bak kut teh. The soup has so many levels of flavour and the bone comes out so easily! The meat is never dry and the herbal flavours are just right!
