Yi Pin Xiang Bak Kut Teh

Yi Pin Xiang (一品香肉骨茶) is a bak kut teh specialist whose original outlet is on Jalan Jelutong in George Town (the chain has since added branches on the mainland and around the island). Bak kut teh is the Hokkien comfort dish of pork ribs and offal simmered with garlic and Chinese herbs; here it comes both as the classic herbal soup and as a dry, darker claypot version, with the cut of pork — ribs, belly or trotter — up to you. Order it with rice, you tiao and a pot of tea, and add the usual sides of greens and beancurp puffs.
