Bak-Gut-Teh and Sweet Barley Ginko Dessert

It has been a long time since I have this dish, Bak-Gut-Teh. It is one of my favourite since 3-4 years ago. I remember I don't like the smell of the soup when my mother used to cook and I felt dizzy when the herbs aroma filled the house. Then one day when my husband (used to be his favourite all times) brought us to Klang for this Bak-Gut-Teh (very famous one), and I suddenly felt in love with it..haha! I just don't know why...;p After that, I've tried almost all stalls near my area...hee hee!

Here's the one I cooked myself for dinner today. The mixture was a gift from a blogger friend, Sonia, when we met last week. I've been longing to cook this since I got it. And here is it!! When the scent of the soup filled my house, this time I really love it! haha! Its so delicious and I wonder whether I can get it from the supermarket nearby. Anyway, I'll go look for it!
Thanks alot Sonia, I really love it.



Yummy yummy! Finished the whole pot in 20 minutes!....:) Will cook again next week since I've got 2 packs of the mixture., hee hee!

Another is the dessert. My favourite one too. Bought a very fresh soy milk (without sugar) from a stall nearby my office yesterday. The milk was so smooth and fresh, and I think this is good for this "Barley Ginko Soup".



Hmm..........really enjoy my dinner today. Just one thing that worries me....how am I going to lose my fat tummy weight? Hahaha!

  6. We already exhausted one of the two BKT mix! Wasn't it good? My father was begging for the answer to this, "Where on earth can we buy this mix!!??" LOL!

    That tong sui is one of my faves, too! Yours looks very good! So, you let the bean curd sheets fully dissolve in the soup? Because I don't ... mine is around 85% dissolved.

  7. Hi,

    @ Joslynn, when comes to FOOD, I just can't wait..hee hee! (very "wei-sik" in cantonese)..;p

    @ Pei-Lin, me too has the same question! I'll go look for it! hahaha!
    The "tong-sui" ho...actually the bean curd just melted in 5 minutes. Maybe the one I bought is mend for the tong-sui cause I know there are few kinds in the market.

  13. Hi Tracie,
    Yeah, the BKT really taste good..:) But too bad that I can't find any "you tiao" that day, and I forgot to buy "taufu pok" too...:(
    Will jot down those for my next pot..;p
    The 'tong sui' looks milky, yea. I used soy milk that's why. Just alittle water to boil and soften the barley then add in soy milk..:)
