Bak Ku Teh with Steam Fish
You have no idea how much I was looking forward to try this store in the west as previously I see tables have both food that I love, bak ku teh and steam fish. It’s expensive lunch but it’s because of the fish, pomfret was big and fresh, bak ku teh is the peppery one. #bakkuteh #pomfret #fish #huaxingbakkutteh
If you love robust, peppery bak kut teh and fresh seafood, Hua Xing delivers both in one meal that’s a unique treat. What stood out was the choice to order either a fish tail or a whole fish, and opting for the pomfret made the meal feel truly special — the fish was fresh, clean, and soft with plenty of ginger slices, giving it a comforting aroma and flavor. My mom especially enjoyed the large ginger slices that complemented the steam fish perfectly. For those new to bak kut teh, the peppery style at Hua Xing is distinct from the herbal variety, packing a more spicy and warming punch that can almost catch you off guard but leaves you craving more. It's a great choice if you love pepper! The meal might be on the expensive side compared to typical lunches due to the quality fish, but the experience and taste make it a worthwhile indulgence. It’s also nice that the service allows ordering in English, making it accessible for non-Malay or Chinese speakers to enjoy this authentic taste. Overall, if you’re exploring recommendations like Kedai Bak Kut Teh Hin Hock or looking for authentic Bak Kut Teh flavors in Hong Kong style or Hua Xing style, this combination of bak kut teh plus steam fish is a delicious fusion worth trying.
