4th Delicacy Of The Week - Baht Kuh Teh

Bak kut teh (Hokkien: 肉骨茶) is a Chinese soup popularly served in Malaysia, Singapore, China and also, cities of neighbouring countries like Batam of Indonesia and Hat Yai of Thailand. The name literally translates as "meat bone tea", and, at its simplest, consists of meaty pork ribs in a complex broth of herbs and spices (including star anise, cinnamon, cloves, dang gui, and garlic), boiled together with pork bones for hours [1].

However, additional ingredients may include offal, varieties of mushroom, lettuce, and pieces of dried tofu. Light and dark soy sauce are also added to the soup during cooking, with varying amounts depending on the variant.

Bak kut teh is introduced to

Malaya in the 19th century by Chinese workers from Fujian. They ate bak kut teh for gaining energy.

Bak kut teh is usually eaten with rice or noodles, and often served with youtiao (strips of fried dough) for dipping into the soup. Soy sauce (usually light soy sauce, but dark soy sauce is also offered sometimes) is preferred as a condiment, with which chopped chilli padi and minced garlic is taken together with it.

3rd Delicacy of the week- FishBall Noodles!

Hi people it's me again. Today or i should say this week, i'll be introducing a very local delicacy loved by many Singaporeans and i can say that FishBall Noodles can be found almost every hawker centres in Singapore.

FishBall noodles are very traditional and they are originally just noodles and fishballs in soup. FishBall noodles are actually considered very healthy but as times changed, people invented or maybe created FishBall noodles that are dry but actually it's just mixed with soya sauce and ketchup or chilli sauce and minced meat, 'fish-cakes' are added to it as extra ingredients.

The soup used for the noodles are very healthy as it does not contain even a small amount of MSG which is also called monosodium glutamate scientifically which can cause harm to the body when consumed over a long period of time.
