In Gamu , Isabela the local here love our claypot Bak kut teh (Hokkien: 肉骨茶). The only problems the dish had evolved and now reflected different names sometime they called Cha (tea) baboy(pig), spicy tea baboy(pig), Manghang(spicy)cha buboy. In Singapore and Malaysia Bak Kut Teh were infused with herbs such as Dong Quai, Cinnamon, Star Anise, and loaded with pork ribs, dried mushrooms, and heaps of garlic and the end result is concoction perfumed with a sweet herbal and earthy flavor. Pair with all this combination of the herbs, for the locals the taste bud is like having a wake up calls, and then there are rude awakenings an appetizer's blast of spicy bold heat,the children here will spit up in nano seconds. Through experiences we have to really go easily with the herb and had to balance layers of flavor and spice.
We have customers who have one taste of the dish took off like a rocket and I'm sure that he strike it off to taste it further. The flip side we also have customers who was hardened by the exposure increasingly for more fiery curries and spices towards ever hotter food request to satisfied his taste bud.
Bak kut teh (Hokkien: 肉骨茶)is a Chinese soup popularly served in Malaysia, Singapore, China, Taiwan (where there is a predominant Hoklo and Teochew community) and also, cities of neighbouring countries like Batam of Indonesia and Hat Yai of Thailand. The name literally translates as "meat bone tea", and, at its simplest, consists of meaty pork ribs simmered in a complex broth of herbs and spices (including star anise, cinnamon, cloves, dang gui, fennel seeds and garlic) for hours. However, additional ingredients may include offal, varieties of mushroom, choy sum, and pieces of dried tofu or fried tofu puffs. Additional Chinese herbs may include yu zhu (rhizome of Solomon's Seal) and ju zhi (buckthorn fruit), which give the soup a sweeter, slightly stronger flavor. Light and dark soy sauce are also added to the soup during cooking, with varying amounts depending on the variant. Our claypot is selling for P150.
