Bak Kut Tek

The name of this dish literally translates to ‘Bone Meat Tea’, but it’s so much more delicious than it sounds. Think juicy pork ribs cooked in a hot herbal broth and served with a plate of steaming rice. Sound good? Get ready to fall in love!

Satay

You may have had satay before, but Malaysian satay really takes it to another level. These delicious sticks of richly marinated chunks of satay meat (usually chicken, pork or beef) are best dipped in a spicy peanut sauce, full of wonderful tangy flavours.
