So, on Sunday I wanted to make bak kut teh but couldn’t find the muslin bag that I know I have somewhere in my drawers. (Muslin is a kind of cotton material cloth) Over tea, I pok-pek to my dear hubby who just came back from his badmiton, all sweaty.
Me : Dear, you seen my muslin bag, nay, the white cloth bag like coffee filter?
Him : How do I know, you got so many barang-barang.
Me : Aiyerrrr….*teh mode* like this how to make bak kut teh ah? The herbs need to be put into a bag cos there are fine pieces of broken herbs etc.
Him : You want? Nah, go to my drawer and get one of my white cotton underwear. Same also.
Me : YOU! SO GELI!
Him : No lah. Where got? You think those bak kut teh stall go and buy what what muslin bag ah? They also use their underwear and tied with raffia string only.
Me : Shaddap liao. Uweekkk….
Him : Hah, if not, you want the one (underwear) I am wearing now? With all the sweats…lagi best, full of flavour.
Me : Sons, you see lah, I married a crazy man. Ammah!!!!!! I was blind, I never listen to your advice, I simply marry……*slaps forehead*
Anyway, I bought another muslin bag but haven’t brew the bak kut teh yet because now, I am short of ingredients. I bet the bak kut teh will taste great with all the herbs freshly grounded. And no, no underwear in the soup.
Your husband very funny…very creative too. ;0
Underwear works. I like white color one
Like this can dye underwear into earth tone colours… “Bak kut teh white”
Thank you for putting me off outside bak kut teh for a bit :p

Hi 5xmom.. cool blog you have here.
Can you tell me where i can buy muslin bag? I’m based in KL.
thanks yah 🙂
Yeng – You can try those Japanese $5 shop like Hinode or something because the Japanese have a few varieties they use for tea leaves. As for me, I bought it from cooking ingredients shop. Otherwise, check the supermarket, most probably in the section where they sell plastic bags, cutleries and those sievers.
Hi again.. thanks for the info yah. Tot of resorting to sewing my own.. hahaha. Anyway, you have a good new year, enjoy spreading WARMTH and JOY in lil red packets!!
