Klang, September 3 — Klang is known as the land of 'bak kut teh,' but a tip led Keertan and the reporter to a different culinary delight at Swee Xiang Restaurant in Taman Klang Utama. Hong bak, a braised pork dish, is served here, featuring every part of the pig, including gelatinous bits and bobs, in a thick, soy sauce-heavy sauce with warming spices.
Swee Xiang offers pork tendons, pig stomach, intestines, chicken feet, and hard-boiled eggs, all nestled with alkaline kuih and long bean rice. Keertan, unused to this meal, was initially hesitant but later enjoyed the tender tendons, saying, "I would never have tried these if you had told me what they were." The reporter agreed, finding the dish unique and memorable.
