In celebration of SG50, NHB is organising a food themed project titled SG50: Deliciously Singaporean Showcase together with Makansutra, aimed at raising public awareness about Singapore’s food heritage and culture, reminding Singaporeans of our diversity and shared heritage, as well as fostering a sense of national identity and rootedness. Here, we share with you the video recipe of Teochew Bak Kut Teh, a Chinese soup popularly served in Malaysia and Singapore, where there is a predominant Hokkien and Teochew community, and also in neighbouring areas.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 for hours. Despite its name, there is in fact no tea in the dish itself; the name refers to a strong oolong Chinese tea which is usually served alongside the soup.
