Amazing Bak Kuh Teh From ‘Restorant’ Loy Soon 顺发肉骨茶


‘Restorant’ Loy Soon is a Chinese restaurant in Taman Daya, Johor Bahru. This restaurant purely offers clay pot Bak Kuh Teh. For those who are looking for this kind of dish, this restaurant would be a good place for you to try it out.

The restaurant is an open-air eating place with big fans to make the place cool. I noticed that most of their customers are contractors, family, office workers, and seldom I see tourist trying their dishes. The Bak Kuh Teh is cooked on the spot just beside the entrance of the restaurant. 

Bak Kut Teh which literary means in English as “pork meat tea” is actually a pork rib dish cooked in broth popularly served in Malaysia and Singapore. This dish was believed to be from Hoklo and Teochew community during the olden times.

This dish is fantastic especially the pork broth.  Some restaurants are adding ingredients like “spare parts” (referring to the pig intestines), vegetables, and steamed dried or fried tofu to make it more interesting.

Anyway, let’s go back to this restaurant. By the time we sat down at their place, one of their crew came in and give us a set of spoons,  chopsticks, and “chilis” soaked in soy sauce. You just need to inform the lady (order taker) what you want to order and she will write down and give it to the person preparing the food.  

Sometimes, you may need to wait for about 15 minutes depending on the volume of their customers. At that point in time, the whole house was full so their team was very busy. It's noisy and their staff was really busy moving here and there to serve their customers.

The Food

We ordered their set and variety of Bah Kuh Teh, Heong Pneah, Salted Vegetable, and Soy Sauced Chicken.

The pork meat in their Bak Kuh Teh was tender and well cooked. The Bak Kuh Teh soup was fantastic. It blended well with both the mushrooms, ginger, lots of garlic, and onion leeks to add additional flavor to the whole set. If your soup is already finished, they can refill it for you for free.

For me, I like soaking that Heong Pneah into the Bak Kuh Teh soup. The taste is so nice. 

The chicken in soy sauce (I can’t recall the name in Mandarin) is also good and the sauce within is very thick. It’s not salty and it’s nice to mix with white rice.

The menu will be served to you while it’s at boiling temperature so you have to be careful when you touch the clay pot. If you have kids with you- please better be careful on it.

Overall, the dining experience was superb. We finished our meal happily while enjoying their hot Chinese tea.
