Makan @ Yu Kee Bak Kut Teh

Yu Kee is one of the bak kut teh place in Gaya street that is packed to the max during dinner. Now bak kut teh is one of my favourite food. So when I see a shop filled up with people queuing outside to wait for table, I knew I had to get a taste of what it's all about.

So on one fine night, we headed there with one thing in mind. BAK KUT TEH.

Upon arrival, there were a huge crowd already eating there. I can't help but to feel excited about what i was about to taste.

One thing about the bak kut teh there is that they DO NOT serve them in claypots. Different parts such as meat, intestine, meatballs, etc. are sold differently in small bowls. We ordered a bowl of tofu pok and a plate of vege to go with our main dish.

The truth is that when bak kut teh is served this way, there's no way it could taste any better than other stalls. All the dishes came warm instead of the usual boiling hot. If they can't get the basics right, then they just failed.The soup is the less herbal type which is fine.

There's nothing impressive about the dish and it goes pretty much below average flavour wise. I just don't think the idea of serving bak kut teh slightly warm is going to do the dish any good.

Tofu on the other hand tasted better. The vege was decent just like any other place.

The price is slightly pricier than their neighbour Sin Kee. So I reckon Sin Kee would offer a better deal. I mean, bad food at 30 bucks is a no-no.

I don't know about the people who goes there and queue, but I am definitely not going back to this place.

Sin Kee is located at the heart of Gaya Street. Here.
