Teh Tarik is a Malay words. If translated directly it going to be Pulled Tea. Lol. It sounds funny and nonsense to me. Well, let me tell you a lil bit what is actually a Teh Tarik.

Teh Tarik is relatively so popular in Malaysia. Malay, Chinese, Indian, Kadazan, Iban and all the races across the Malaysia I believe, they must at least have a sip on Teh Tarik at least once. Some of my friend also said that Teh Tarik can be found in Singapore. However, my other friend told me that you can't find this drink in Indonesia. He went there a few times, and he never give up on trying to order Teh Tarik, even though the result is expected. I've also heard some rumours that the Government of Malaysia through his on of the Ministry is planning to declaring this Teh Tarik as one of the Heritage Drink. Well, i don't care as long as I can enjoying this Teh Tarik anytime anywhere.

Basicly, the Teh Tarik are consists of 3 main ingredients. The tea, the condensed milk and the hot water to dillute other 2 ingredients. The mix has to be correct in order to get a good Teh Tarik. If the condensed milk is too lot, the drink will be extremely sweet and you can easily get diabetes just because drinking too much of it. How do you want to know if the Teh Tarik contains too lot condensed milk? Easy. Just take a look at the color of the Teh Tarik. Normally it will be too white, compare to the normal Teh Tarik color which is quite yellowish.

Why does this drink is called as Teh Tarik? Well, there are too much hypothesis and inference has come out from all the 'Teh Tarikers' but the most logic statement to me is because the way it was produced. The action while preparing this drink can be seen like you are pulling the tea up and down. Want to get a clear view? Just look at the video below.



Where can you find this Teh Tarik? If you are in Malaysia, feel no worry. You can find it anywhere in the restaurants across the country. The Malay restaurant, Chinese, Indian and of course the famous Mamak's Stall. You can have it anytime at most of the 24Hour Mamak's stalls around the country.

The price?...Well normally around 80 cent to RM 1.50. Unless you are ordering Teh Tarik in KLIA. It maybe can rocketed as high as RM 5.00. Usually at the normal restaurant, it comes with 2 glasses; small one or big one. Sometimes the waiter may asked you back when you ordered Teh Tarik;

"Boss, besar ka kicik?"

Whereas in English it can be translated;

"Sir, large glass or small glass?"

Well, i hope you get the info clear and you can enjoy it when you come to my country.

Teh Tarik Rocks!!! ;)
