The place was simple and typically look like a Chinese style kopitiam, but well ventilated. The owner of the stall - Mr Kenny Wang is a nice friendly person. He told us that he use better quality pork and ingredients for his own creation of Bak Kut Teh, and strongly emphasized there will be without MSG serving in his Bak Kut Teh. What Mr Kenny believe that as long as he concern about his food quality and taste, it will bring more regular customers to his stall...anyway, I think it's absolutely correct!

Claypot soup pork ribs Bak Kut Teh - 排骨肉骨茶

The pork ribs was well cooked with melting tenderness yet still had sufficient firmness for a bouncy bite. The dark broth with rich herbal and spices taste together with some slight saltiness, and it goes great on rice! The herbal broth taste uniquely special which hardly find a replacement version in local Johor Bahru food market. We like it very much!

Claypot dry pork knuckles Bak Kut Teh - 猪脚干肉骨茶

The spongy pork knuckles was Aromatic and Delicious! The knuckles were well cooked to the perfect timing where easily fall off with a gender bite! The taste of the gravy was excellent! This was the 'First' time we taste A Delicious Dry type Bak Kut Teh within Johor Bahru area.
4 of us categorized it's A MUST TRY DISH in this Bak Kut Teh stall. Well, you can have few choices to choose any part of the pork and cook with the dry type (even soup type), said by Mr Kenny.

Sini Ada Bak Kut Teh (这里有肉骨茶) at Taman Austin Perdana, Johor Bahru

Sini Ada Bak Kut Teh / The Bak Kut Teh is Here (这里有肉骨茶) (N1.54523 E103.78964) became a popular spot before the restaurant start operation, all because of the Unique name! The restaurant is located at the entrance of Taman Mount Austin (Jalan Mutiara Emas 9/3). Everyone was curious about it before they start their business included me and my friends...

This Bak Kut Teh restaurant has a total different concept compare with others, it provide a better and clean environment for you and your family to enjoy the foods relax and comfortable. They even have a Air-Conditioning area which is also a Smoke Free area.
We chose to dined on the first floor...

Now the local Bal Kut Teh lovers have a choice to enjoy Bak Kut Teh in 2 type of environments, either you choose to dine in the traditional kopitiam environment or a better and clean environment like this but with the slightly higher price...

I was attracted by the latest technology of this tea pot refilling system. The water under the cabinet is boiling all time and you can refill your tea pot by just sit on the black knot. This is really convenience! This is the First Bak Kut Teh restaurant who implement the easy way to their customers.

1)  Bak Kut Teh - spare ribs (排骨)

6)  Tau-pok (Bean curd)

Bak Kut Teh - spare ribs (排骨)

Photobucket
It had a different Bak Kut Teh flavor from others in Johor Bahru, herbal taste was not as rich as those famous Bak Kut Teh...No MSG, the ribs were tender and drop from the bone easily. It was Special and very much base on individual taste bud...

Photobucket
The Streaky pork (五花肉)

The streaky pork with fat had the same broth as the spare ribs, it was soft and tender.

Photobucket
Stewed pork - 卤三味

This stewed pork was Delicious! The bowl of claypot served with the streaky pork with fat, skins and nerves which is not commonly available in Johor Bahru. It a Must try dish! Recommended!

Photobucket
Braised chicken feets - 焖鸡脚

The chicken feet was braised perfectly! Springy and nice! According to my wife, beacuse I don't take chicken feet...:)

Others dishes were just average, we were satisfied with the dinner!
Beside the dishes we had above, the do serve Pork Tribes (猪肚)and Yellow rice wine chicken (黄酒鸡).

Some of my friends told me that this restaurant price is rather higher comparing with other, I agree. But it provide a total different environment comparing from the traditional type, I'm willing to pay a little bit more... As I mentioned above, you have choices to choose to dine in a Typical Chinese kopitiam or Air-Conditional restauarant environment, I believe most of the 'families' will choose 这里有肉骨茶 just because it has a Smoke Free session, don't mind paying slightly higer for a 'Healthy Environment'. At least my family like it!
Well, the choice is yours...

The each claypot portion served above (for the 3 serves) was for 2 persons, and the price is between RM20-RM22. It's reasonable especially in this better environment.

According to the owner (Mr Andrew Chuah), the restaurant offering a package which include a bowl of Claypot Bak Kut Teh, salted vege, tau-pok and a glass of drink for RM15.00 per person. You can choose to dine in the well ventilated area or Air-Conditioning area...what do you think?! :)

Do try out if you happen to be around the area, you might like it!

*  Everyone taste bud is different...

THE RESTAURANT WAS CLOSED SINCE APRIL 2013.
