Bak Kut Teh is a famous food in my town Klang. It is my favorite food too. But, I can't always eat it. It is not good to our health if eating it everyday. It is made by pork with herbal tea. Bak Kut is pork bone in Hokkien and Teh is tea in Hokkien. Although this is a Chinese food, you will not get this in China. This food was created by Chinese in Malaysia. I think long long time ago, the Chinese eat this in the morning and they will go out to work a whole day. Hence, this food can provide them a whole day energy. Maybe because of their work, they can eat this everyday. For us now, we seldom do exercise and always sit in the office. I think we can eat this Bak Kut Teh only one time per month. Do you know Bak Kut Teh?

I had it in Singapore. it reminds me of a Filipino dish known as Nilaga and it also reminds me of a Scottish dish known as Scottish Broth. The only thing that makes it different is the addition of herbs like cinnamon to the broth. Now I am hungry,

I like it too. I like the vegetarian version as well. It is good because the taste is about the same and it is much healthier.

I think you like the soup very much. The soup is very important.

Is the picture Bak Kut Teh? Or is that merely a picture that looks something like it? It looks delicious. I am retired. I am fat. But I hope to live forever, and don't worry too much about whether I am fat.
