The Old Stall
Jalan Mangga

Jalan stesen satu west end of street next to the parking lot. this shop needs no signboard nor menu, and in fact people can't even agree on its name, but this doesn't stop it from packing in the crowds — piles of pork bones spill out into the adjacent parking lot! this has a respectable claim to being klang's oldest bak kut teh shop and their dark broth is smooth, strong and supremely tasty. open only from 5am to 11am daily, so get there early. rm5/7 for a small/large bowl, 50 sen for rice, rm2 for a pot of tea, and there's nothing else on the menu, so feel free to bring your own side dishes.

Seng Huat Bak Kut Teh

Jalan sultan half under the bridge. another very popular option which has now been franchised, but this is the original. the menu is a bit larger and the ambience is fractionally more upscale than the nearby old stall, but prices are actually a little cheaper - rm15 for two. tip: order your bak kut teh without the pig intestines if you consider pig intestines disgusting as pig intestines are not canon bak kut teh.however, they are actually quite delicious.

Klang is the original home of bak kut teh "pork rib tea", the Hokkien-style dish of pork ribs cooked in a strong, dark herbal stock, served with tea on the side. This is considered a breakfast dish here and family get-togethers on Sundays for bak kut teh are particularly popular. There are many famous shops in Klang, and if you ask two locals for the best you'll probably get three answers, but here's a sampling.

One of the best kept secrets of Klang, the seafood in Telok Gong, Klang is arguably the best in the Central region, if not the whole country. Tucked in the obscure vicinity within Pulau Indah, Telok Gong is only reachable by car or taxi as no other forms of public transportation make their way to this former coconut plantation. This does not deter customers who come from as far afield as Johor Bahru and Singapore to sample the fresh and tasty seafood delicacies.

Some of the signature dishes include Wong Kam Crab crab cooked with duck egg yolk and Marmite Crab. Singaporeans may disagree with this, but 'apart from that 'the next best Chilli Crab is available here. Bamboo, or razor clams and any dishes with prawns are generally very good as well.

Along with the seafood offerings, a must try is the toddy, or fermented coconut juice. It is an alcoholic drink with a slightly sweet flavor. Not everyone's cup of tea or beer. In certain instances, mixing a glass of toddy with a little bit of Guinness, seems to appeal to some. An acquired taste.

There are rows of seafood restaurants at this premier seafood destination, but most locals swear by:
