Good morning
Today we are in Klang with our friends. They picked us up at our Airbnb and then
we drove all the way to Klang to get Klang's most famous dish and it's our first time
having it here. We've had it in Thailand and yeah so we've had it in Kuala Lumpur
actually but for delivery but it's our first time having it here in Klang which is what
it's famous for. Oh I smell that aroma already and it looks so busy. All these spots are packed.
Love that they have the outdoor kitchen and
it's like open.
The next thing you do is put the cutleries and cups and plates into this tub of hot water
Thank you, guys! There is a trick to that. We usually ask for a fork and spoon
We have stir fry vegetables, chicken feet you know more vegetables to balance it out
Wow.
I love the aroma already.
So comforting warming. Not that heavy on spices but
it's like it just all blends well together nothing really like that
nothing too salty nothing too overwhelming.
Perfect. You get that little anise.
Dry bak kut teh is interesting. It doesn't taste like this it has more like fermented fish flavor
This one's more herby. Yeah and it's a little spicy this one too
Yeah I do get that bit of a fishy flavor. I love that. More condensed. Totally opposite of the soup bak kut teh. The dry is a must try too
Cheers guys! Thank you so much. Thank you. That was a phenomenal experience. Oh man so we had the
soup and the dry bak kut teh. Both delicious both very different. It's funny bak kut teh means
"meat bone tea" but there is no tea in the actual dish. It's because you drink the tea on the side
to cut through the richness of the meat. That's what we did. Yep special shout out to our friends Puri and Sue for making this experience amazing.
Now we're heading to get our pau.
I'm gonna get pau.
Our snacks. Although we just had bak kut teh, we have to have snacks.
At this point we counted what like five six shops on one block. Not
even a full block like on a corner and crazy also is like they have business.
It's the place to be. It's like pizzerias in New York like bak kut teh in Klang. That's a good comparison. Yeah that's
good that is a good one. I'm a New Yorker I gotta do it. Where are we going next? We are going to the pandan cake
This spot is called Regent Pandan Layer Cake. Famous spot here in Klang and our friends brought us here and
we're gonna try it now. Wow okay so the news is they don't have pandan layer
cake available as of the moment because it's pre-order only. Um we're all here. But the good
news but good news is... "my brother okay no worries okay we still gonna stand a chance. Oh great!
I'm so sorry. It's okay no it's okay. Busy that's good. all right thank you so much. Uncle told us
there's another spot and it's his brothers so we're gonna go there and try our luck yeah
I guess we got lucky we're lucky that we have our pandan cake.
The brother of Regent. Yes. Love the shop houses so that's the Regent, the original one.
So they slice it on the spot for you. Pandan aroma is hitting. Um that's very pandan-y.
That pandan hits you right away. It's light too. It really reminds me a lot of kuih, but more of like a spongy interior. It's not too sweet. I love it. I get why the
first shop is sold out pre-orders. I would want to pre-order this too for any festivity. yeah
I could crush the whole box. Sorry. Nope sorry. Sorry.
It's so pretty. It's very light too it's not like sweet at all very light
It's the perfect dessert after bak kut teh because it's very light, very aromatic. You
really get the pandan flavor. Not too sweet. I can crush a whole box of that
easily but I'm not going to. I would like to. It's a perfect way to balance the bak kut teh.
If you come to Klang, you gotta eat bak kut teh and you gotta eat pandan layer cake and you really get the full Klang experience.
Time for some refreshment. Coconut. Tapau.
It's the first coconut of the trip actually. Yeah first
coconut of the trip. First coconut of Southeast Asia on this trip
We tapau'd the coconut. Look at that look at that it's like tied. Just to make sure that it's not going to spill
or anything, Precious Cargo right here coconut water and meat coconut
