Peng Hwa Food Court Pudu KL

Peng Hwa Food Court is next to Pudu Market. Its open 24/7.
Often it's packed - must hold in region of 2,000 people.

Today I had this meal - Bak-kut-teh - a well known chinese-malyasian dish. Its a kinda pork-stew - using a herbal mix with a unique smell (they say it has aphrodisiac properties -don't they
say that about all chinese herbal stuff ?). Literally the name of the dish means 'pork rib tea' as the pork simmers for hours in this herbal broth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bak_kut_teh

Today's Bak-Kut-Teh was OK (with rice 9.50 Ringit) - though I have to confess I prefer cooking my own back home using chicken. I had to try the original in KL again for comparison.

This area outside Peng Hwa food hall would be cleared of stalls (by bulldozers) in a few days time (no doubt they will return?).
