Lau Kau Meat Bone Tea.

Meat Bone Tea is a literal translation of Bak Kut Teh, a name in Hokkien dialect that spells out a pot of meaty pork ribs (and other parts of pork) stewed in a potent soup of mixed Chinese herbs. (It's a local cuisine that varies in 'style' with each different vendor).

And strangely enough, Lau Kau is translated from Hokkien to Old Monkey in English.

Back to Bak Kut Teh... it's usually served in a claypot because a claypot is known to retain heat for a longer period of time, hence it helps to bring out the flavour of the meat and herbs onto the soup.

The Lau Kau version of Bak Kut Teh is one that's clear souped and not overpowering on the herbs. Plus, they also have the lip-smacking, thick and 'dry' Claypot Stewed Pork as well.

Now for the tricky bit... to locate Lau Kau, you'd have to look for an old restaurant that's hidden at the end of Jalan Segambut Tengah. Directions: Turn left from the main Segambut road at the RHB Bank junction, follow the road till you see an open space with a simple structure for shelter, right next to where the Genting's helipad used to be.

Well, most of the time, half the fun is in the hunt, and the reward will appear like a pot of gold.

Among many other dishes to add on or size up, the Kai Choi (Chinese Mustard Greens) Rice is worth checking out, albeit steamed white rice is the obvious choice to complement Meat Bone Tea.
