Bakuteh Sunday

Had Bakuteh today for brunch today. Yes, I know, eating too much of that will eventually kill you. But I'm a sucker for good food, cholesterol level or not. Bleh. BTW, Bakuteh = Pork Ribs Tea?

It all started when a friend of mine started raving about the Bakuteh of a particular shop called
Teck Seng in Klang. Intrigued by his eloquence, a bunch of us drove to Klang one fine Sunday morning (on Merdeka Day!). It was not meant to be as by the time we arrived at 11 am, the shop was clearing up to close. Jezz.. We ended up in another shop nearby which did justice to our stomachs.




Your typical soupy bakuteh..















The dry variety.
















Empty plates after pigging out ..
















But we
REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to try Teck Seng's famous herb laced soup. So we tried again today. This time, we arrived at the god forsaken hour of 8.40 am (How many people do you know who gets up at 7am on a Sunday morning???) Alas, the &^&#^*@ shop JUST ran out of Bakuteh. Again, we had to settle for some corner shop with a yellow signboard. The food was so-so. Bleh. What a disappointment.


Next time, I'll be standing at the door at 6 am.
