Hiryu Revisited

Bak Kut Teh, Non-Halal
It had been a long time since I last stepped into SekMeChoy Restaurant, with my previous visit with Chiefeater Luke Soon being almost 2 decades ago. This time, I returned as a solo diner, and decided to revisit the essence of the place with a comforting pot of their pepper Bak Kut Teh (RM19 for a single portion).
Their Bak Kut Teh broth sits somewhere between the thick, medicinally herbal Klang version and the fiery white pepper soup style from Kajang. It’s not herbal, though there’s a gentle tinge of it — more subdued — allowing the peppery savouriness to really take centre stage. I’m perfectly fine with that approach. It still felt hearty and warming without the fiery intensity of the more peppery varieties.
The meats didn’t disappoint — the soft bone and pork rib cuts were especially enjoyable, tender with enough bite and full of flavour. The intestines were good too.
I paired it with a serving of youtiau (RM3), which soaked up the soup well, although it wasn’t the star of the meal.
That title, surprisingly, goes to the mustard leaf rice (RM4) or what they describe in English as Hokkien Vegetable Rice in their menu. Studded with bits of lard and roast pork, it was savoury, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. Honestly, it was so satisfying it could’ve stood alone as a complete meal. It’s not often a side dish steals the show, but this one did.
A pot of tea for one was only RM2 — a rare find nowadays — and rounded off the meal nicely.
For a solo lunch, this was a comforting, satisfying return to SekMeChoy Restaurant that still holds its ground. And that mustard leaf rice? Worth coming back for.
