Bak kut teh is a popular meat dish cooked in broth and it’s served both in both Malaysia and Singapore. The name literally translates to ‘meat bone tea’. The broth is infused with herbs and vegetables and needs a few hours to slow cook before it takes on its herbal and earthy flavor. The meal is best served in a clay pot and eaten with plain white rice but it does also go well with a dish of stir-fried vegetables. The dish is usually eaten for breakfast but plenty of people also order it at lunchtime.
