Beyond Bak Kut Teh: 4 Must-Try Foods in Klang
Because Klang is more than just soup and ribs
Klang may be famous for its bak kut teh, but locals know the town’s food scene goes far beyond herbal pork broth. Here are 5 other must-try dishes that showcase Klang’s bold, multicultural flavours.
1. Klang Fried Chicken & Yao Yao Bing
The Crunch-and-Cool Combo Only Locals Know
This fried chicken stall serves crispy, well-marinated chicken with golden skin and juicy meat. Locals line up early, so come by before 10am. Just a few steps away, the Yao Yao Bing cart offers sweet, icy drinks in flavours like lychee, asam boi, and sarsi — shaken in a plastic bag for that nostalgic texture.
