MIRI: Cravings for a bowl of delicious Klang Bak Kut Teh will no longer go unfulfilled, as Superstar Bak Kut Teh is here to offer the best ‘bak kut teh’ in town.
“People may say that there are already a lot of similar dishes in town; however, one of the reasons that our dishes are the best are the ingredients we use,” said co-founder Chris Mok during the premises’ grand opening yesterday.
Smoked garlic is a vital ingredient in their Klang Bak Kut Teh recipe and specially brought in from Peninsular Malaysia; hence, Mok said, the locals should give it a try, and let their taste buds judge.
Operating from 10am to 11pm daily, Superstar Bak Kut Teh prepares its ‘bak kut teh’ broth from as early as 7am, taking three hours to slow cook the dish and by 10am, it is ready to serve to the earliest customer.
Variations of ‘bak kut teh’ available include Prime Rib, Soft Bone, Big Bone, Spare Rib, Pork Belly, Layered Pork Belly, Pig Trotter, Pork Knuckle and Pig Tail, selling for RM11 per bowl.
Another highlight is the crispy golden ‘you char kway’ or Chinese cruller that is cooked to order to maintain its crunchiness which is the best way to eat it with the ‘bak kut teh’ broth.
Other dishes available to whet the appetite include Sambal Fried Rice (Chicken/Pork), Spicy Fried Noodles (Chicken/Pork), Fried Mee Hoon, Maggie Curry Claypot Noodle Soup, Top Shell with Special Thai Chilli Sauce, Midin with Special Thai Chilli Sauce, Superstar Deep Fried Trotter, Deep Fried Abalone Mushroom, Black Fungus with Bamboo Shoot Sacha Konyaku, Sesame Burdock, Signature
BBQ Stick, Cold Dish Platter, Fried Noodles, Fried Kueh Tiaw, Fried Chicken, Fried Rice, and Fried Maggie Mee (Chicken/ Pork).
Those who would like to add on a dish can choose to order Bak Kut Teh Dry Noodle, Fried Chicken Wing, Fried Chicken Feet and French Fries from the menu.
Meanwhile, Mok who established the business with his partner, Tai Beng Seng under Ho Heng Entertainment Group Sdn Bhd is also offering a place to chill and relax just next door – The Red Lantern Bistro, a new place for people from all walks of life to chill out during happy hours.
“Our best attraction in this place is the deejay performance and KTV session for those who like to serenade their companions and audiences with various songs and they can do so on the mini stage we have at the corner.”
For those looking for a unique party option, Red Lantern Bistro may be what they are looking for.
