It’s very cosy and relaxing here – time, blood pressure and heart rate all slow down like the lazy, almost still water in the snaking Mengkibol River. The soul of any curry mee is, of course, the curry. Botak’s curry is a nice balance of mild savoury-spicy-sweet. The coconut milk which held the spices and chili together was neither too thick nor overly greasy. The ingredients like house made char siew, taukwa, taupok etc are pretty nice too. Botak’s curry tastes different from curry in other places like JB or Singapore. You must to try it to know what Kluang style curry mee tastes like.

Kluang is not particularly famous for their Bak Kut Teh, but it will be a good choice.

The meat is comparable to any other bak kut teh experience out there, but the main attraction here will be the soup. If you’re not a fan of intestines and liver, do tell them beforehand in order for them to remove it before service. Here got two choice which is yam rice and white rice. The taste of the yam rice is actually tangible and is actually pretty fragrant despite looking like white rice! This is at a fairly reasonable price point about RM10. They also serve You Tiao that I recommend that you always order whenever you have Bak Kut Teh!
