Some may find the dish depicted above appetising, while others will shudder in disgust. But regardless of what you think about the concept of bak kut teh with cheese, there’s no denying that it is a novel concept. If you’re curious to try this dish yourself, be sure to drop by Restoran Ah Peng Bak Kut Teh at Johor Bahru.

This is quite the highly-rated bak kut teh stall—it frequently draws sizeable crowds to its premises and has a 4.5 star Google Maps rating at the time of writing. While most are there for, understandably, their bak kut teh, the zi char fare here is said to be pretty good, too.

The Soup Bak Kut Teh, which gets you a pot of soup tinged with herbal flavour, pork ribs, beancurd skin and more, starts from RM18/~S$5.20. Instead of pork ribs, you can also have the same soup with Pork Cartilage (RM20/~S$5.70), Pork Belly (RM18/~S$5.20), and even Pork Tail (RM20/~S$5.70).

But of course, the must-try dish here is the Dry Cheese Bak Kut Teh (RM22/~S$6.30), which is exactly what its name suggests. While this may seem like a strange combination to most, we are told that the pork ribs’ sweet dark soy sauce pairs really well with the cheese. You can even get an IG-worthy cheese pull with this dish, like in the picture above!
