You Kee Bak Kut Teh is on Gaya Street. We went there around 6 or 7 pm and it was already full. We had to wait for a table! Bak Kut Teh is a bit like our Chinese brine, but the taste is lighter and it has medicinal herbs added!

When hearing about Bak Kut Teh for the first time, many people will mistakenly think it is a kind of tea. Although Bak Kut Teh is called "tea", it is a medicinal soup, and the soup does not contain any tea ingredients. According to legend, when the Chinese first arrived in Nanyang to start a business, many people suffered from rheumatism because they were not adapted to the hot and humid climate. In order to cure the disease and remove dampness, various medicinal materials, including angelica, wolfberry, and Codonopsis, were used to cook medicine, but because of taboos, the medicine was called "tea". You Ji Tea House has been operating in Kota Kinabalu for more than 30 years. The business hours are from 14:30-22:00. Local Bak Kut Teh shops are open later, and there is no Bak Kut Teh in the morning. From the opening, the store was full of diners. Unlike other tea houses, You Ji's Bak Kut Teh is a small dish for a small dish. You can order whatever meat you like. Bak Kut Teh is usually eaten with white rice or fried dough sticks dipped in soup. Bak Kut Teh does not have a bright color, but only a refreshing fragrance, and the freshness is accompanied by the refreshing power of medicinal materials. It is said that Bak Kut Teh has a nourishing and beauty-enhancing effect on women, and a kidney-tonifying effect on men.
This You Kee Tea House is located at the intersection of GAYA Street. It is very easy to find and very popular. The seats inside are full, and you often have to sit outside. It is very lively and the service is a bit rough. The best specialty is the coconut pudding. At first I thought it was just a small pudding made of coconut, but when I got it, I found out that it was a pudding made from a whole coconut. It is very smooth and the quantity is large. One person cannot eat it all, so it can be shared by many people. This Malay tea house is really good. It is misplaced with the Chinese-run restaurant and has achieved good results.
【Kota Kinabalu】Yoo Kee Bak Kut Teh It is said that when the Chinese first came to Nanyang to start a business, their living conditions were very poor and they were not adapted to the hot and humid climate. Many people suffered from rheumatism. In order to cure the disease and dispel the cold, one of them accidentally put pork bones into the tea soup. Unexpectedly, the tea soup tasted very fragrant and delicious with a unique flavor. Later, people specially adjusted the ingredients for making tea, and it became a famous local delicacy.
How can you not eat Bak Kut Teh when you come to Malaysia? I stayed in Kota Kinabalu for three days. I had Salak on the first day and came to eat Bak Kut Teh on the second day. I originally went to Xin Ji, but it was not open, and You Ji was not open yet. So I found a KFC nearby and stayed there for two hours. Their Bak Kut Teh is served in small bowls. I didn't pay attention to the price and ordered a few at random, including pig's feet, ribs, mushrooms, and tofu soaked rice. The Zongzi was recommended by the store. It was very big at 10 Malaysian ringgits. The key is that it was cold, cold, and there were fat pork belly and other things in it. It was a bit greasy after a few bites. However, their Bak Kut Teh has the strongest and most medicinal taste among the few I have had, and it is relatively bitter. When I ordered the dishes before, I didn't notice that the mushrooms and meat were the same price, and there were only a few lumps of mushrooms, with a head of garlic, which I felt was not cost-effective. The pig's feet and ribs were still quite delicious, and the taste penetrated into the meat. The rice in Malaysia is super hard. It looks almost the same as the rice in Thailand, but it is not tasty at all. Youji is relatively inexpensive. If you come to Kota Kinabalu, you can try it.
You Kee Bak Kut Teh is a well-known old shop in Kota Kinabalu. There are food awards certificates hanging in a prominent place in the shop. I ordered pig tail bak kut teh and pork belly bak kut teh. The price is about 7 or 8 Malaysian ringgit. It is served in a small bowl, the soup base is salty, and the medicinal taste is stronger than Xinji Bak Kut Teh, but the price is lower. It tastes good and is very popular. After nightfall, the entrance of You Kee is crowded with people, and the seats are full of locals and many diners who come here for the reputation.
