Dim Sum
A popular breakfast, Dim Sum refers to a collection of meats
and savoury items put on small saucers, kept hot in bamboo
baskets and served ala carte via a push-cart tray. Patrons of
restaurant then choose which kinds of dishes they want and pick
the baskets from the tray. Some of the popular dishes include
‘Siew Mai’, roasted pork balls, ‘Wu Kok’, crispy yam dumplings
and ‘Har Gau’, whole shrimps wrapped in a floury package.
Bah Kut Teh
A truly Malaysian-Chinese dish, Bah Kut Teh originated from
Klang a few decades ago from Klang in Selangor state. It was
prepared by a stall owner under a bridge for coolies in the area
who smoked opium. As their taste buds were affected by the
drug, they lacked their sense of taste. What the stall owner
did was boil pork ribs and intestines in strong Chinese medical
herbs, creating a stew that was ripe with aroma. From there,
Bah Kut Teh caught on and became a nation-wide phenomenon.
