Last Wednesday, hubby called me to inform that he was near Canning Garden, Ipoh and if I wanted pork rib herbal tea (bak kut teh) for lunch, then he will be waiting for me at the restaurant. It took me about 20 minutes to drive from my house to the restaurant. We have been to this restaurant for a dim sum breakfast end of last month and if you are interested, you can click here to read. We have not tried the bak kut teh and this was our first time.
We ordered a clay pot of bak kut teh for 2 people.
Hubby chose to add in the button mushrooms.

MYR 24 (approx. 5.74 USD).
We didn't ordered any drinks, we drank the herbal soup. The taste of the soup was not strong compared to those we have tasted elsewhere but we were glad that we were not very thirsty after drinking the soup. Probably they added less monosodium glutamate (msg, food enhancer) in the soup.

Aquele segundo prato tem um aspecto delicioso.

Thank you, Francisco. A plate of green to go with the meat & soup. Have a good day!
DeleteThose fences are reminding me of Maui.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. These fences are very common here. Have a good day!
DeleteThat would be how I ordered my bkt. With blanched lettuces. I also not too keen on strong herbal soup. I prefer milder taste.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose. I must have a veggie to go with the bkt. Have a great day!
DeleteI never had herbal soup, I wondering what taste is of it?
ReplyDeleteThis is Chinese herbal soup. Nothing strong about the taste or smell, both are quite mild and taste good.
DeleteThe food looks good and I like the wall with the pillars. Have a good day Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. Have a good day too!
DeleteA very popular restaurant, Nancy with such good food!
ReplyDeleteThe kindergarten is a nice bright building and its fence too!
Thank you, Christine. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteI was impressed today by the Kindergarten fence such a bright building. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteMaybe they didn't put any msg inside the bkt soup because the herbs used to boil bkt soup would have made the soup very flavourful already.
ReplyDeleteI think they add less msg. Msg makes me very thirsty!
DeleteWere you still a little thirsty? If you are not thirsty at all after eating this, maybe they did not put any msg in the soup. Totally none.
DeleteI love the picture of the kindergarten with the bright colors. It looks like you have a wonderful array of food to choose from. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynn. Our city, Ipoh is a food haven for people from far and near. Have a wonderful day too!
DeleteHave not had bkt for quite sometimes, see your bkt makes me crave for it...
ReplyDeleteThen it is time to have some bkt. Lol!
DeleteI love the blue building with the yellow fence in front. SO pretty! It does not look like stainless steel. The yellow looks like painted wood.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. The blue building is a kid's school and the stainless steel fence is the one above the blue building. The yellow ones are the concrete pillars. Have a beautiful day!
DeleteOh yummy. You have the most fabulous food.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your wonderful fences.
Have a fabulous day Nancy. ☺

DeleteToday tried the bak kut teh... yulks. Not nice and expensive too. Couldnt find the any meat but few pig knucle which is very fatty. The soup is too salty. Vege is so so but expensive. The pot did not have any organs.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your unpleasant experience there. We were there end of last year and it was very disappointing too. That was the last time for us.
