They are 2 different dishes with different origins.

No need to keep comparing like some insecure beta simp la.

TLDW - SG BKT (Hokkien ver.) 10 yrs earlier than Klang BKT.

What say you?

SG is Teochew, with the light and peppery soup.

Hokkien version is darker, more herbal and strong taste.

Stop pretending to be Chinese la pundek.

Most common origin story is a stew brought from China when we migrated. Different ingredients because we couldn't get original ingredients and had to make do with what we had here.
Based on this, SG version can't be older than Klang.

Also calling MY & SG both bkt is like saying Penang and Klang hokkien mee are the same. Distinctly different dish only sharing the name.

Exactly. I enjoy both. I can have 1 for lunch, then the other for dinner. No issue.

Don't know what's with all the insecurity in some people. Maybe their lives too empty.

Tbh the SG peppery soup version is pretty good for a dish on its own.

Just call it something else. Teochew/SG bkt like Penang CKT. Same same but different dish and both are good tongue.gif

I'm not mudah conpius, so don't see the need to change name also.
