En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh Brings Japanese-Inspired Flavours and a Bold New Day-to-Night Concept to KL

Rooted in tradition yet elevated with modern influences, En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh makes its debut in Solaris Mont Kiara as a new destination for Bak Kut Teh lovers. Thoughtfully designed with a unique day-to-night concept, the restaurant serves guests as a comforting teahouse during the day, before transforming into an intimate bar by night, offering a fresh and dynamic dining experience.

During the day, En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh operates as a Bak Kut Teh teahouse – serving nourishing herbal broths, hearty Bak Kut Teh classics, along with Japanese-inspired dishes that complement the menu. As the sun sets, the space transforms into a cosy bar, where diners can enjoy carefully curated bai jiu cocktails, Japanese whiskeys, and creative drinks in a relaxed evening atmosphere.

“As part of EN Group, we are delighted to share our vision with our Malaysian diners, through reimagining Malaysia’s beloved local dish by infusing Japanese ingredients to create an exceptionally unique menu inspired by Chef Yeoh’s family recipes. Through En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh, we hope to bring friends and families to bond over a shared love of food that celebrates both heritage and contemporary flavours. To us, food is the very heart and soul that brings people together, delicately prepared by our dedicated team through the labour of love and warmth, ” said Raymond Ng, Managing Director of EN Group and Co-Owner of En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh KL.

“It has been an absolute pleasure working together with EN Group, and I have been truly impressed by the care and thought they have put into reimagining the dishes first introduced at my father’s beloved restaurant, Yeoh’s Bah Kut Teh in Klang. Preserving the familiar, comforting flavours of bak kut teh that Malaysians know and love - while introducing an exciting twist - requires a special level of expertise, and I believe the EN Group team has achieved this beautifully through En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh’s specially curated menu. This is why I am especially excited about its opening here in Malaysia as it allows us to showcase heritage flavours in a new light and share a refreshing interpretation of our signature dishes,” said Chef Yeoh Zong Xian, Co-Owner of En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh KL.

Born from a collaboration between Japanese dining specialist EN Group and Klang’s well-loved Yeoh’s Bah Kut Teh, the restaurant brings together over 35 years of culinary heritage with contemporary influences. Yeoh’s has played host to celebrities from near and far, including renowned Hong Kong-American chef Martin Yan and actress Nancy Sit, just to name a few.

At the heart of En Yeoh’s Bak Kut Teh is its time-honoured recipe, brewed with a carefully selected blend of herbs and spices. The signature Bak Kut Teh soup is known not only for its robust aroma and depth of flavour, but also for its warming and restorative qualities that nourish both body and soul. Woven thoughtfully with its contemporary Japanese influence, the restaurant is set to become a must-visit destination for foodies seeking something refreshingly different in Kuala Lumpur.

Fight Against Obesity and Cardiovascular Risks with Novo Nordisk Obesity Medicine Wegovy® (Semaglutide 2.4mg) (MAL24126014AZ)

Novo Nordisk announced the availability of Wegovy® (semaglutide 2.4 mg) (MAL24126014AZ) in Malaysia, an adjunct treatment option for adults living with obesity and overweight who present with at least one weight-related comorbidity on 15 Jan 2026. This is made available against a backdrop of growing health concerns, with recent data from the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2023 revealing that nearly 54.4% of Malaysian adults are classified as living with overweight or obesity.1

Obesity is a disease associated with more than 200 potential health complications, making it a ‘gateway’ disease to serious issues such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.2 These conditions significantly impact an individual's life expectancy and overall quality of life.2,3

Dr. Praful Chakkarwar, General Manager of Novo Nordisk Pharma (M) Sdn.Bhd., delivering his welcome note at the Wegovy® launch event.

Wegovy® (semaglutide 2.4 mg), a once-weekly injectable medication, works by mimicking the natural hormone GLP-1 released by the gut after eating. This mechanism targets specific areas in the brain that regulate hunger and cravings, providing a treatment option for individuals facing difficulty with weight management4. The treatment is indicated as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for weight management, including weight loss and weight maintenance in adults with an initial Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≥30 kg/m2 or ≥27 kg/m2 to <30 kg/m2 in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity e.g. dysglycaemia (prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus), hypertension, dyslipidaemia, obstructive sleep apnoea or cardiovascular disease.5, 6, 7, 8 Wegovy® provides ≥20% weight loss in people living with obesity. In addition, treatment with semaglutide has shown a greater reduction in fat mass than in lean body mass thereby enabling quality weight loss.

Emeritus Professor Dr Chan Siew Pheng, Senior Consultant Endocrinologist, sharing on Live Lighter with Wegovy®.

Dr. Praful Chakkarwar, General Manager of Novo Nordisk Malaysia, stated, “Today marks a pivotal moment in our commitment to transforming the healthcare landscape in Malaysia. With Wegovy®, we are introducing an effective weight loss medication that supports patients in their health journeys. This innovative treatment aims to redefine our approach to obesity management and sits at the centre of a broader, long-term strategy: local clinical research, corporate partnerships, community toolkits, internal initiatives and public platforms such as Truth About Weight.”

Professor Dr. Rohana Abdul Ghani, Consultant Endocrinologist & President of the Malaysian Obesity Society (MYOS), highlighted the complex nature of obesity, emphasising that it is far more than a matter of willpower or lifestyle choices. “Obesity is a biological, behavioural, and environmental condition, and not simply the result of lack of discipline or poor lifestyle choices. Unfortunately, it is often misunderstood, leading to self-blame and stigma among those affected. These emotional and social barriers can make effective weight management even more challenging. By combining medical therapy with education, empathy, and multidisciplinary care, we can promote a holistic approach, such as one that fosters resilience, reduces stigma, and encourages individuals to achieve sustained health improvements.”
