For the past 22 years in my life, I have never heard of "dry bak kut teh". My first encounter was nonetheless attributable to my special half. He brought me to a nearby bak kut teh place, which he loves the dry bak kut teh alot. I pretty agreed with him that it is worth his love. The dry version was too salty on its own. You can see the generous amount of black soy sauce, dried chilies, ladies fingers. Colorful and at the same time it gave a burst of flavor in my mouth. Waiter, I need more rice! The pork was pretty decent and the advantage of ordering this is you need not to order vegetables because it has lots of ladies fingers in it.

Another Malaysian favourite among pork lovers, bak kut teh is the type of meal that we order feeling super hungry and impatient, and end with big smiles masking our regret of overeating.Shun Heng serves dry bak kut teh, which is essentially the same (or similar?) soup reduced to a thick sauce, with dried shrimp/squid and okra. I find that it draw a super rich flavour from the meat (lean meat and ribs are my favourites).I find the sauce to be caramel-like - smoky, sweet, and thick - but in a savoury way. They also serve it with some regular bak kut teh soup on the side, so the dish has some wetness to it if you prefer it. They also serve yam rice (if you're lucky - it's not available more often than not), which makes a perfect pairing with the dry bak kut teh.
