bak kut teh


legend had that it was the dish of those poor immigrant in "nan yang". they had nothing to eat as meat was too expensive, so instead of eating those meaty part they went to the butcher store and ask for bits of the bones from the leftover sales. those pork bones were then simmered in pot of water with spices added to it (to musk the smell i think) and thus a dish was created. =) this is unqiuely southeast asia =) just like chicken rice and nasi lemak too. =)

my fav is the salted veg not every store make it well. i prefer the soup over the meat and other stuff. yes... i am weird... (i also prefer pork bun's skin over the filling, likewise for mooncake)

any good place for a good bowel of "pork bone soup"?
