It was at Lot 10 Hutong when I had my first sip of this Malaysian favorite. Lot 10 Hutong is a food hall that serves Malaysian heritage dishes.
Lot 10 Hutong is a quaint food hall and very instagrammable too! There are two main entrances and it can get quite crowded especially during lunch and dinner time.
You'll be in food heaven upon entering the labyrinth-like Lot 10 Hutong food hall. You will be created by delicious aromas and can visually feast on what it has to offer, from tasty meats, noodles, dimsums, and much much more.
So this is the stall where I had my first taste of bak kut teh. The uncle who is manning the stall is kinda famous amongst the diners and I think he's been preparing this pork rib soup for years and years now. There are other dishes on the menu but this stall is known for its bak kut teh based on the longish lines.
You can order it as soup or separate soup and noodle serving. I opted for the soup.
I've read about bak kut teh and this pork rib soup has tons of herbs and spices that also works as a tonic. Having said that, it was after several sips and slurps before I was able to appreciate its distinct flavors. Not to mention it was served piping hot! But the meat was really tender and I like that.
