Bak Kut Teh (肉骨茶)

Today I cooked Bak Kut Teh...

What is Bak Kut Teh? Basically it consists of
Bak = Meat (Pork)
Kut = Bone
Teh = Tea

In older times, people would drink chinese tea while eating the dish. Usually it is consumed with rice.

There are few types of soup base available. But my prefrence is strong pepper taste.

My first time cooking Lei Cha at my home sweet home.

Lei Cha (擂茶) is a Hakka dishes. The meal consisting of a tea-soup which is made from chinese tea leaves and some veggies.

Other ingredients include bean curd and salted turnips.

It is a very healthy dish and suitable for people on diet.
