Did we get the flavours right? This is our rendition of the iconic Malaysia Claypot Herbal Bak Kut Teh!

After trying a few stores in Kuala Lumpur, we knew we had to recreate it in The Meatmen kitchen.

This popular pork-based soup is slow-cooked for hours with succulent pork cuts, fragrant herbs and spices while, the Singapore Bak Kut Teh focuses on the pepper and garlic flavours. Both uniquely delicious!

As a quintessential Malaysian street food, Herbal Bak Kut is comforting and nourishing for the body! Highly-raved breakfast (or supper or any meal, really) food among Singaporeans and Malaysians alike.
