I heard that Bak Kut Teh was created by a man under a bridge or flyover in Klang and it was specifically sold to drug addicts so that they could gain back their sense of taste.This is because some of them could no longer taste so he sold BKT help them rehabilitate their sense of taste by the strong unique flavor of the dish.
Is this true? hmm.gif

old time port worker poor no money and felt cold when winter, so they pick up all those small small pieces of herbs that fall down from the shipment they carry and put all into a big pot and boil soup to drink to warm themselves up. It was later that they start to gabung money to buy meat and put inside.

No. BKT was discovered by a poor man who had nothing but pork bones he managed to beg from a restaurant. He boiled the bones together with some fragrant herbs he found and discovered a new dish.

That Jason guy from Axian Food Adventure explained the origin of bak kut teh before.

Teh refers to the surname of the shop owner of that shop nearby below the bridge in Klang. That shop was the one which popularized Bak Kut Teh. Teh has nothing to do with tea.

So, it all started from there.

He didn't mention anything about drug addicts also. rclxub.gif

Definitely Malaysia but to be more exact, Klang.
Maybe I should change the title to "History of Bak Kut Teh" because the word "origin" means the point or place where something begins...so it doesn't really relate to what I was about to discuss.Sorry notworthy.gif

dunno you understand chinese or not but in china and even japan....most drinks with herbs we call it 茶 aka cha aka teh

In Bak Kut TeN* or 肉骨茶, the TeN or 茶 here refers to Chinese medicine in liquid form or 藥茶.

I thought bkt originated from Klang right, this is really an excellent recipe, the originator should receive recognition on it. when I was in China, I saw a shop name Klang bkt. feel proud to be Malaysian.
