"Qiu Zhao" Bah Kut Teh at Kelana Jaya

Fancy a bowl of transparent/whitish color of bah kut teh? (Unlike the conventional dark soup base) Then look no further, head down to Restoran Yi Xin at Kelana Jaya to try it out yourself.

The bah kut teh is served in bowls, not in claypot, but when it is presented to us, it is piping hot (so no worries of cold soup). The best part of this bah kut teh is the soup. The soup base is white/transparent but yet the aroma and taste of bah kut teh, especially the herbs are all there, making it very yummy, and not that oily. Besides bah kut teh, there is also vegetables, side dishes like pork trotters in vinegar, preserved vegetables ("mui choi"), and many others to complement the bah kut teh.

The white color bah kut teh soup base. YUMMY

What we ordered on that day

The fresh and crisp vegetable

They only serve normal white rice though, a bit to my little disappointment as Yam rice or oily rice will enhance the meal, in my humble opinion. Business here is very good and it is a well established setup in this area for many years already, so there are many regular and loyal patrons.

Price wise, it is a bit on the high side but not too much. We ordered a bah kut teh (for 3 person), a plate of vegetable, a side dish, a bowl of yao char kuay, a pot of chrysanthemum tea, extra mushrooms, and 3 bowl of rice and the bill came up to RM54.

How to get there? If you are travelling on LDP heading towards Puchong direction (U turn at taman Megah exit if you are coming from Puchong/sunway direction), slow down when you pass the Kelana Jaya LRT station, and turn left at the first left turn available to you after you pass the LRT station. There is a row of shop houses and Restoran Yi Xin is in the middle lot of this shop row.

This restaurant is open everyday from 10AM onwards. 


Overall verdict: 

Different type of soup base compare to conventional bah kut teh. Tasty food. Clean environment, good and friendly service. Highly recommended.
