He and his family often have BKT. He claims it is the best in town. The soup is different from the 'Klang' BKT. It is no heavy on herbal and that is good because the original taste of Ba kut is preserved. I would recommend this shop to anyone who likes BKT. Did someone forget to mention that the charges are reasonable? $50 was enough for my friend, his wife and daughter and me for a hearty dinner of BKT. <br /><br />Oh, prepare to wait for 20-30 minutes in queue during 'peak' period of a business day.<br /><br />LBJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-68213692193723171852009-10-30T22:37:27.631+08:002009-10-30T22:37:27.631+08:00Wow, that's fast.
