Ming Tien Bak Kut Teh

The Ming Tien foodcourt is one which can satisfy any craving and if hype is to believed, the bak kut teh here is apparently very good.Although service by the stall's waiter was enthusiastic, it took quite a while before the steaming pot reached the table. A sizzling pot of pork and herbal broth, a bowl of rice and yau char kuey will set you back RM10.From the looks of it, one can tell how diluted the broth is.The first sips confirms so,although you get a more herbal twang in the aftertaste.the pork, however, is quite meaty but it didn't really absorb the herbal flavour from the broth,leaving it rather bland and uneventful.Since the broth is already watered down, dipping your yau char kuey in pointless as you don't really get much out of it.
