4 March 2011: Pao Xiang Bak Kut Teh (宝香绑线肉骨茶) specializes in string tied bak kut teh. In accordance with traditional culinary methods, the pork is tied with cotton string to keep its shape and texture, as well as to lock in the intricate flavour during the stewing process. Pao Xiang in Mid Valley Megamall is located at the end lot of boulevard area. I personally think that lot is not strategically located.

Anyway, here's the menu and price list:


I would like to emphasize on the price of various types of tea here. Normally a waiter will go around with a basket of different types of tea, asking which tea do you want. If you are having a budget conscious meal, kindly refuse any type of chinese tea there because they cost RM7 to RM12 per tea bag.

Put the tea topic aside, you can choose the type of pork you would like to have from the menu. There are various types of pork served in very small bowl. Here's what we had...

• Pan Fei Soul (半肥瘦/猪踝肉) (RM13++) -> Pork with partially thin and fat meat. Very tasty and tender. Worth a try.
• Go Hui (肉骨/五花) (RM13++) -> Pork with bones (non-fatty). Not bad. Not as tasty as "Pan Fei Soul".
• Vege (Yau Mark) (RM10++) -> Normal.

I personally do not really enjoy the bak kut teh in Pao Xiang. I prefer the type of bak kut teh with more soup. Bak kut teh in Pao Xiang is served with very small amount of soup, which actually looks more like sauce. Besides, I think the food and beverages there are overpriced, considering the ambience there is nothing worth paying for.
