肉骨茶

Today we had Bah Kut Teh. This is one of my all-time favourite dishes in Singapore. It's a kind of pork dish, served in a soup with rice and other vegetables. There's also a kind of fried dough that you can dunk in the soup. The soup itself is quite peppery, and herbal (unfortunately, I can't think of anything in the UK to compare it to, except a peppery kind of meat broth soup. Sorry!). It's meant to be quite good for you, and usually does wonders for my newby flu. Alas, I am still struggling today. But the Bah Kut Teh was good, as always.

The Youtiao (fried dough) is a popular kind of breakfast dish in different parts of Asia, and we used to have it in China quite a lot for a snack (served with warm soy milk). Its's also popular in Hong Kong, where I think I had the biggest (and most unhealthy) version I can remember for breakfast. I was full for nearly a day after that!!
