📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Teh tarik means 'pulled tea,' a much-loved Malaysian drink made by pouring strong tea and condensed milk back and forth between two cups from a great height to create a fine froth. The dramatic pour is a craft in itself — there are even competitions — and it's a staple at mamak stalls.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a mamak counter, customers can't help watching as the server raises the cup high to pour the tea back and forth.
