Bak Kut Teh

A friend said to me it's the smell that counts and I agree 100% so you really need a smell-o-blog for this one. I used a ready-made soup mix to make this dish as buying the required herbs is too much of a challenge for me! The soup mix (imported from Malaysia, where else?) came in a large tea-bag like bag which only needed to be boiled in water, add the desired ingredients, in my case, pork ribs and tau pok (deep fried tofu). After 1 1/2 hours of simmering, serve with steamed rice with cut bird's eyes chillies (cili padi laa) in light soya sauce....Blisssssssssss.........
