Nam Chai Bak Kut Teh

Bak Kut Teh! Yes, Sandakan is famous for it's Bak Kut Teh because tasted different from what you've had in West Malaysia. In the west, the soup are herbal-like-taste while here it is black pepper-y taste. If you request for the spicy version of this dish, it's just the black pepper in the soup increased, hence the spiciness you tasted are solely from the peppers.

There are a lot of Bak Kut Teh shops in Sandakan, everyone have their own preference, however I personally prefer Nam Chai Bak Kut Teh situated at Bandar Nam Tung. It is a corner shop, the same shop lot with the previous post's shop, Lau Tong.


Prawn Bak Kut Teh
BIG succulent prawns! They are fresh and juicy and aa~
Just imagine fresh seafood cooked to perfection.
The soup for this have more ginger and scallions to remove the fishy smell.

Pork Bak Kut Teh
They have ribs, half-fat meat and meat only ( sau yuk)to choose from. Or you can mix them up.
The pic above is a mix of pork ribs and half-fat meat.


Spinach Bak Kut Teh
Bak Kut Teh doesn't have to be all meat.

Just nice for 3 person.

Why I like Nam Chai? Because of this!

BIG

PRAWNS!

Bak Kut Teh here are mainly served with rice.
