When I was a kid, getting to eat 'bak kut teh' or literally translated as "pork bone tea" is one of joyous moments. I don't know what's in it that makes me love it so much. However, just as much as most Chinese would love this dish, it is not that economical and some considered it not suitable for daily consumption especially in hot and humid weather like Malaysia. Probably that was one reason why I did not get to eat it so often when I was little.
This place was recommended by my father. It is a family business and mother does the main cooking. They also served drinks ranging from tea to coffee to soft drinks.

mix them (chopped garlic, chilli, soya sauce, thick soya sauce) together and you will get the best sauce ever for your bak kut teh
people like to eat bak kut teh with yam rice
favorite side dish with bak kut teh - fried dough (yao char kuih)
intestines and other innards
fatty meats and meatballs
The above meal cost us RM29 in total with a pot of tea.
While I don't really fancy innards and fatty meats, the main reason why I love "bak kut teh" so much is because of the soup. The soup based is a result of pork ribs simmered in broth of herbs and spices which gives it a strong aroma and colour.
