hmmmm....... bak kut teh a.k.a. pork rib tea (or something like that)
There's this place in 3rd mile called Go. Fun Kee cafe. Yes, for some reason they spell "goh" as Go. with a full stop =_='. Anyway, it's a fairly new place, only a couple months old from what i've heard, and it specializes in selling just one product the favourful, tasty, meat stew we all know as bak kut teh.
See, this shop so special till even got sell DRY bak kut teh...can u even call it a "bak kut teh" anymore?
As a responsible citizen of Kuching, I myself of course had to try this "DRY bak kut teh" and discover this new dish that I never heard of before. It was a Sunday night that i embarked on this great endeavor. I call it an endeavor because you see, there a sign on the shop that joyfully says: "On the spot cooking, delicious taste, 15 minutes waiting and above". And of all days, I chose a Sunday night where there's a swarm of insects that seem to adore the shop so much that the would fly in and get themselves by the bug-killing thingy inside just to sniff the glorious scent of the bak kut teh. But I was here not for that but the DRY version.
Waiting ...and waiting for a very very long 40mins was what i did that faithful night for that damn dish. When it finally appear right it front of my eyes, guess what dry bak kut teh looks like? Before you read any further, let me tell you that it's nowhere close to what you'll ever expect in any bak kut teh. No, it's not that it does not contain any "teh"a.k.a soup...but it's actually much much more different. Ok, its...... its...... pork ribs wit.....(u really wanna know?)
