Light and dark soy sauce are also added to the soup during cooking, with varying amounts depending on the variant. Bak kut teh is usually eaten with rice, and often served with YouTiao (strips of fried dough) for dipping into the soup.

Klang Valley area of Malaysia is famous with tasty Bak Kut Teh and you can find many Bak Kut Teh restaurants there.

Recently, a less fatty variation of Bak Kut Teh made with chicken instead of pork was innovated. It also serves as a halal version of the dish catered to Muslims, whose religion forbids them to consume pork.
