Something about Bak Kut Teh:

Bak Kut Teh, literally translated as "meat bone tea", was introduced to Malaya in the 19th Century by Chinese workers from Fujian. It was widely believed that this dish is invented in Port Klang by the port coolies, and this dish helps them to gain energy and boost their health.

Bak Kut Teh is a chinese herbal soup dish consist of meaty pork ribs with boiled with herbs and spices boiled with pork bones for hours. Additional side dishes served with this dish may includes varieties of mushrooms, lettuce, pieces of tofu. Bak Kut Teh usually eaten with rice and served with fried crullers/yu tiao to dunk it into the broth to absorb the flavour of the broth. As for condiments, cut chillies and minced garlic is taken together.

Many prefers Bak Kut Teh to be serve in claypot, but in Heng Kee it is served in bowls. The broth are extremly delicious so for me, it doesn't matter if it is serve in claypot or not. Porks are tender and infused with the aroma of herbs and spices.
