Teh Tarik Dilemma

* Screams! *

Omg What A Nightmare!!

In school, im haunted by 3 (maybe more) ppl telling me that TEH TARIK tastes AWESOME.

GROSS.

GROSS.

Ok,u must be thinkin....

WHAT THE HELL IS TEH TARIK?



According to Wikipedia, ( i cant be bothered to explain it because TEH TARIK SUCKS)

"Teh tarik ("pulled tea" or 拉茶 in Mandarin) is a type of tea which can be bought in restaurants and outdoor stalls in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei."

"It is often compared to cappuccino because of its frothy top. The main ingredients are tea and condensed milk."

"It has become the de facto national drink of Malaysia. In Malaysia, there are also occasions where "teh tarik" brewers gather for competitions and performances to show their skills in making this drink."

"This tea is special in that it is prepared using a unique technique. The tea is poured from a hand held high into a container held in a hand below. The tea is poured back and forth in this manner to create a thick froth. It is believed that this method mixes the tea with the condensed milk more thoroughly than other methods. It is also believed that this action cools down the tea to an optimum temperature for consumption."
"However, the most appropriate reason as to why Indian hawkers prefer this method of preparing teh tarik would probably be for the purpose of showmanship; the ability to drag a long stream of tea well over their heads was an amusing novelty for the locals and thus attract patrons"
-End-
Heres a picture



People usually consume Teh Tarik with Roti Canai or Nasi Lemak. Roti Canai simply means Pratha. Altho it tastes nicer than the Pratha here. Really.

Nasi Lemak is one of my FAVOURITE Dish. omg *slurps* Dont know what it is? Visit Wikipedia dearest.

I dont like Teh Tarik because..

  1. I think its GROSS.
  2. It all tastes the same.
  3. Its a hot drink. ( u can never get iced Teh Tarik unless someone wants to make a designer tea and named it Teh Tarik)
  4. It makes ur breath stink. All tea does anyway. (A)
  5. Teh Tarik is just NOT NICE.

Lol. Reasonable enough??

U know what is my favourite Malaysian drink??????

OMG.......

AIR BANDUNG. (air is pronounced ayer btw)

What is it??

Its a drink made outta Rose extract mixed with Condensed milk + Sugar + Ice!

The drink's pinkish in colour.

Omg. Drink it when the weather is hot and oh my, REFRESHING!!

*gulps*

Infact, ima ask mum to get a bottle of Rose Cordial or syrup.

Alright. Study mode.
