Penang Food Paradise #30 : Penang Bak Kut Teh

In this cold weather and a rainy season, are you searching for something to warm your body and the bodies of your love ones or craving for the taste of Bak Kut Teh? Well, if you are a heavy taster you would definitely rate this Bak Kut Teh stall with a highest ranking. Bak Kut Teh was introduced to Malaya in the 19th century by Chinese coolies and workers of Hokkien origin with the cause to boost their health until today. This non-halal stall offers variety ingredients provided for your bowl of Bak Kut Teh which they include pork intestines, pork stomaches, mushrooms, small corn, small maize, pork meats, and so on.

Perak Road Bak Kut Teh.

The taste of the Bak Kut Teh is very unique as the soup of this Bak Kut Teh has a sweeter and stronger flavor because of the herbal stews that is boiled heavily before the serving. In this stall, the Bak Kut Teh is eaten together with either white rice or yam rice. Personally, I love having the yam rice with Bak Kut Teh. Besides, the bowls are usually served with a plate of You Tiao (oil strip) and an optional of You Chai (Vegetables). So having which ingredients or not, you will decide yourself when you are ordering at the stall.
