Hong Ji Sha Bo Rou Gu Cha (Marsiling)

Rou Gu Cha, if you are not aware of it, this is also known as Bak Ku Teh. I have a sudden craving of Bak Ku Teh nowadays, and i have totally no idea why. Perhaps its due to the rainy weather that makes me feel like drinking something hot and nice. :)

Ken who lives near marsiling area told me that there is one popular ba ku teh store around his area. It is so popular that bascially, the people who are visiting the coffee shop will definitely have one pot of bak ku teh on their table. Without any delay, i decided to check them out.

Located at the corner coffeeshop, this bak ku teh store is real popular. So much so that, it has sold out its fried you tiao. :( I simply loved the taste of you tiao soaked into to the bak ku teh, it tasted simply marvellous even though its ate it alone.

Nevertheless, i still ordered their bak ku teh. There is basically four things which i loved about their bak ku teh. First, its definitely the way that they serve their bak ku teh in a claypot form as this will ensure that the teh is kept hot till you complete your meal.

Second, i adore how they used only slim meat in their bak ku teh. No trace of fat can be seen in the meat so one can basically have them all without feeling fat guilty.

Third, i simply fall in love of the taste of teh. Heard that they uses fresh ingredients in them, thus able to make such nice and thick flavour teh. I like the amount of pepper they used in their teh, this i feel its just nice (not too spicy nor too bland).

Finally, i loved the way they include vegetables and tau pok into their bak ku teh. The different colours makes the bak ku teh looks not only nicer but also much more appetising.

Overall, a rather different bak ku teh from the normal ones. But, i guess the few extra ingredients is what that will push me to visit them again. :)
