Klang, Selangor, Malaysia｜Kedai Makanan Teck Teh - Bak Kut Teh

If you like the old taste of Klang authentic Bakuteh, here is the place, as it is the one of the oldest bakuteh store in Klang. The aroma of bakuteh is malt when compare with others Bakuteh in Klang, but it stills taste good, and they don’t provide soy sauce, chillies, or garlic, which other bakuteh stores did. If you like the kind of bakuteh with strong aroma and taste, it might not be able to satisfying you.

Teck Teh is still serving the finest and original Klang Bak Kut Teh (BKT). Authentic BKT means having meatbone and soup, period. No condiments (mushrooms, taupok etc that are commonly found in modern BKT). Teck Teh has been around for more than 50 years and is located in one of the oldest parts of Klang town, near to the train station. Those who are born and raised in Klang would remember the old Chartered Bank building nearby. The shop lot is still in its original conditions. It is impressive that the Teck Teh is still willing to maintain the tradition after all these years while its competitor, located just one street across, has already moved away from the origin and has been innovating their BKT in order to cater to the adrift and ephemeral post-modern taste buds, while still claiming that it is offering traditional BKT. To me, Teck Teh BKT is the benchmark although it does not appeal to the masses today, but only to those who are familiar with the Hokkien heritage and history of the Hokkien migrants and workers in Port Swettenham (now know as Port Klang) in the early 1900's. But again, anything historical and traditional is less likely to be appreciated today and mostly forgotten. Klang, too, has changed over the years - many locals are now conversing in Mandarin. Nevertheless, the old voices of Hokkien are still very much alive in Teck Teh, at least for now. Lastly, I would implore the owner to clean up the place so as to maintain the dignity of its history and tradition.
