Not as peppery as I remembered it to be, but still comforting on a rainy day. Meat had just the right amount of fattiness for the texture and taste, and even better with the sweet juicy red chillis in the dark soya sauce.

A taxi uncle once told me, bak kut teh was once breakfast food for coolies because it was cheap and nutritious food for them. And yes, I do feel like I can take on the world now. Ahh, the true strength of good ol' comfort food.
