Now open in Solaris Mont Kiara, En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh takes this beloved comfort dish and gives it a thoughtful, contemporary twist. Rooted in Klang-style heritage and elevated with Japanese influences, the restaurant offers a unique day-to-night concept that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh is born from a collaboration between Japanese dining specialist EN Group and Klang’s much-loved Yeoh’s Bah Kut Teh, a name that has been around for over 35 years and has even hosted international celebrities like Martin Yan.
The Heart of It All: That Bak Kut Teh Broth
At the centre of the menu is the signature Klang-style herbal broth. Brewed using a closely guarded recipe, the soup is aromatic, warming, and deeply nourishing. Think garlic, star anise, angelica root, wolfberry, and Chinese liquorice simmered to perfection.
When Bak Kut Teh Meets Japan
One of the highlights here is how seamlessly Japanese elements are woven into the menu.
Fans of dry bak kut teh will enjoy the Claypot Dry Bak Kut Teh, packed with assorted pork cuts, lady fingers, shredded cuttlefish, and chillies, all tossed in a reduced herbal sauce for that bold, punchy flavour.
There is even a Japanese-inspired comfort carb option. The Dry Pork Belly Bak Kut Teh Sanuki Udon, made with udon from Kagawa Prefecture, stir-fried with pork belly and chillies, is surprisingly addictive.
Side Dishes Worth Making Space For
Do not make the rookie mistake of ordering only one pot.
From the indulgent Signature Braised Pork Knuckle to classics like pork intestines, chicken feet, and meatballs, the sides here are proper bak kut teh companions.
There are also Japanese-inspired bar bites such as Nanban Tori Karaage, crispy prawn cake, fried baby white prawns, and even dough fritters to soak up every last drop of soup.
One standout is the Signature Edamame, infused with dried cuttlefish for that extra umami kick.
Desserts, Tea, and Cocktails That Might Surprise You
End your meal on a sweet note with Japanese-inspired desserts like Momo Sorbet, Goma Ice Cream, or for something more playful, Moutai or Haizhilan ice cream with a subtle boozy twist.
Tea lovers will appreciate the curated tea list, ranging from Genmaicha and Hojicha to classic Pu Er and Royal Red Robe.
And if you stay past sunset, this is where things get really interesting.
En Yeoh’s serves cocktails infused with bak kut teh broth. The Warm Your Heart and Stomach cocktail blends herbal broth with traditional Chinese spirits for a bold yet comforting drink to share. There is also Sino Miso, which mixes bai jiu with white miso and elderflower, and Oriental Osmanthus, a lighter whisky-based option with floral notes.
Why You Should Visit
En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh is not trying to replace your favourite kopitiam bak kut teh. Instead, it offers a new way to experience something deeply familiar.
Come for a slow, comforting lunch. Stay for drinks with friends. Bring visiting out-of-towners who think bak kut teh is just soup and pepper.
This is bak kut teh reimagined for how we dine today, without forgetting where it all began.
If you love heritage flavours with a creative twist, En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh in Solaris Mont Kiara deserves a spot on your must-try list.
By day, it operates as a warm, welcoming bak kut teh teahouse. By night, the space shifts into an intimate bar, where herbal broths meet bai jiu cocktails and Japanese whiskies, creating a dining experience that evolves with the day.
