To Jason it has an authentic taste, that transports you to Penang. The generous portion of egg and big prawns comes together very well for him, along with the bean sprouts and koo chye (garlic chives for extra flavour). Little golden jewels of crispy lard stud the dish and Jason always asks for extra chilli to up the spice factor.
The Klang bak kut teh suffered from the same issue. The taste was good but we had to fish for the small pieces of pork ribs.
