"Bak kut teh" for lunch & a walk in the night market

Today I went out for lunch in Kelana Jaya 4. Had "Bak kut teh". Basically Bak kut teh is a famous soup which is popularly served in Malaysia and in Singapore. If translated directly it means "pork bone tea". At its consists of meaty pork ribs in a complex broth of herbs and spices which are boiled together with pork bones for hours. If you are a Malaysian you would know that it is widely believed Klang is the home of Bak kut teh. The dish was found to originate from Port Klang for port coolies. It is believed that taking Bak kut teh was a good supplement to their meager diet as a tonic to boost their health. As for Muslims in Malaysia Bak kut teh is made with chicken instead of pork which is called "Chi ku teh".

Just some photos of the shop and newspaper articles showing how good their shop is for "Bak kut teh"

In the evening I went to the night market in Tmn. Tun with my dad. Normally on Sundays we go to the night market or "pasar malam" to buy fruits. I drove there with my dad as usual but this time parking was hard to find because we came to the market late than usual. We had to park in the car park and pay RM2 =.=

Anyway the market was busy and really buzzing with variety of stalls . You can get almost any kind of fruit ranging from pineapples, bananas, apples, pears to grapes. You can also find bags, wallets and gadgets in the market. Not only that, the special thing about this market in Tmn. Tun is that it has a row of food and drinks stalls selling like example kebab, chicken noodle, assam laksa, soya bean and chrysanthemum tea. If you missed your weekly marketing you can also grab some fish, meat and vegetables.

If you are thinking of going out in the evening for a date or just want to spend some time walking and taking some snacks this ain't a bad place. There is plenty to see and plenty to eat. What more can I say =p

So colourful !!
