"Teh tarik and bahulu" best nutrition at 4.00am (000014)

Currently enjoying A whiter shade of pale by Procol Harum

The warm comforting sensation of a sip of teh tarik is a pick-me-up for some, and for the teetotaller, an emotional frothy crutch during troubled times. It is not merely a drink, teh tarik; it is a social phenomenon, much like slowing down to look at accidents. In England we used to say "Let's go for a cuppa".

 

It is often enjoyed over banter and conversations of consequence or not, and over it much time has been wasted as well as millions of dollars worth of deals sealed. If there is a candidate for a national drink, then the concoction of sugar, condensed milk and tea dust swirled in hot water must be it.

 

P/S: Bahulu by the way you might say it's the Malaysian version of muffins.
