We had Bak Kut Teh served with yam rice for dinner tonight. Bak Kut Teh literally translated to English means pork bone tea. The soup is brewed with a mixture of herbs and spices together with pork bones for hours to bring out the flavour.
It is a very popular dish in Malaysia and the best can be found in Klang where it originated from. Lots of KL-lite and PJ-ians would travel over an hour to Klang just to have a good hearty Bak Kut Teh. They would bring their own special Chinese tea leaves to drink while having the meal as it aids digestion and makes the meal less fatty. Bak Kut Teh is usually served with white rice but I am used to having it with yam rice.
