Teh Tarik contest
Teh tarik is a popular hot beverage in Malaysia and Singapore. It is made from black tea and condensed milk, and traditionally served in a glass or mug. The name “Teh Tarik” means “pulled tea,” and it is made by pouring the beverage back and forth between two containers at a distance. This process is used to create a foamy, frothy texture that is characteristic of Teh Tarik.

Tanoura Dance, Dubai 2011
The tanoura is a dance performed by men twirling in long, colourful skirts, originating from whirling dervishes.
So what is a dervish, and why do they whirl?
A dervish is a Muslim religious man who spins and twirls with increasing speed until he reaches a trance-like state.
Stripping layers of his clothes as he spins represents the different stages of ridding himself of earthly needs and reaching a state of spiritual surrender to God.
A video to share.
Those dimsums look so GOOD!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos in this blog.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks delicious, the films are beautiful, very special the man who spins around for so long, it also made me dizzy.
I enjoyed your photos.
I wish you a very nice Sunday.
Greetings Irma
Thanks for your sharing, have a lovely week
ReplyDeleteDearest Veronica,
ReplyDeleteThat Tanoura Dance would indeed make one dizzy by looking at it... A weighted skirt but twirling like that—on and on...no thanks!
Teh Tarik is quite a show but one wonders how much it will cool down the actual drink.
Massala Chai is a pleasant beverage as well and far better than the Iced Tea (way too sweet!) here in the South.
On my trip to Japan as a chaperon we had a Matcha Tea ceremony but I can't say I'm fond of that.
Fung Jow would not be my favorite either... Never had it as far as I know.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dim Sum is without doubt my favourite food in the world. Nothing quite compares. The last time I had it for breakfast was at a hotel in Hong Kong and it was fabulous. My bowl of cereal this morning looks totally inadequate!

ReplyDeleteYour photos always are so beautiful. Our breakfast in the US are so different than yours- What are those prickly looking things in the first vendor from the street vendor?
DeleteThat Teh Terik looks and sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI would like to taste that typical lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice. According to the above guide, many people around the world drink tea with milk (Thailand, Tibet, Pakistan, Kenia, Britain, Taiwan, etc. ) ... information I didn't know.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week, Veronica ❗
A very interesting post to know a lot of food that I have never seen before.
ReplyDeleteThe Dervish dance is amazing.
All the best.
Wonderful photos and delicious food! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSo many ways of drinking tea. I had no idea what a whirling dervish was before. thanks for the education.
ReplyDeleteVeronica, your food dishes had my mouth watering, they looked so good! And I never knew what a dervish was until you explained (showed) it here. Wow!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week!
Teh tarik seems like a pop culture almost. Great food photos as always.
ReplyDeleteThe food always looks so good.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks rather interesting and I could eat it for sure, very different to what we eat never the less.
ReplyDeleteThe Teh Tarik look also interesting and it would be nice to try as I do like condensed milk.
The food looks very tasty, Veronica.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs.
Thanks for sharing the fun Teh Tarik video and Teas Around the World guide!
ReplyDeleteThe Teh Tarik participants' skills are impressive! I have tried black tea with condensed milk before, but never tried pouring them back and forth between containers. Maybe I will give it a try!
I love festivals. Ths looks so beautiful and so colorful, too. All that food looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos and lots of delicious food. Thanks, Veronica.
ReplyDeleteSo many experiences can be had where you are. I've never tried durian but I've heard about it over the years.
ReplyDeleteWow this was like a food and entertainment tour of your country! I loved it, thank you. Isn't durian the fruit that smells so awful but tastes so good? There's a tropical fruit farm in Florida near us where they grow exotic (to us) fruit trees and I think this was the one. The taste we sampled was delicious.
ReplyDeleteLovely dance
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous mix of photos i enjoyed these and especially the food again of course lol
ReplyDeleteHave a gallimaufreytastic week 👍

Hello,
ReplyDeleteWow, the food all looks delicious. The dancing is amazing, I would be so dizzy.
Great photos! Take care, have a great day!
I'm always looking for new recipe for our kitchen. Yes, it looks delicious. We like this indeed.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
Very interesting things. Never heard about teh tarik and that dance. I'll explore them. The food is too complicated for me, even could be tasty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Veronica for this new page!
Hugs and blessings! Happy WW! ❤️😘
The food all looks good. The photo of the dancer makes me feel dizzy just looking at him!
ReplyDeleteHello Veronica,
ReplyDeleteI am stopping back to say thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Th meals all look delicious, yummy choices. Take care, have a great day and week ahead.
amazing photos ^_^
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog
have a nice day
Interesting post. I always learn something here. We had the most delicious Musang King durian this weekend. Bought frozen from Asian grocery store in Atlanta. I wonder if Turkish tea should be included in that list of tea. The apple tea was very popular.
ReplyDeleteWe have never seen or heard of that spinning thing, but it seems rather crazy and it must take a long time to learn to do that for such a long time.
ReplyDelete...Veronica, it looks like you will never go hungry! I hope that you are having a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThis is a yummy post!
ReplyDeleteOh the food. Oh the food. Delicious. I love your food.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
I could just manage a number of the dim sum Veronica. Something fishy I think and a glass of white wine.
ReplyDeleteLove dim sum, have not had in more than a year, so now I need to get a new dim sum place as we have moved.
ReplyDeleteI visited you via Wordless Wednesday 320.

ReplyDeleteDurian smell good.... yummy
ReplyDeleteI find the whirling dervishes fascinating
ReplyDeleteTime for some Dim Sum looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine how the Dervishes can whirl like that.
They are amazing.
Enjoy the weekend, Veronica.
Dear Veronica,
ReplyDeleteyour post is full of tempting treats again! I've never tried a durian - I've heard some like them, some can't stand them. Do you like them?
Very interesting, pictures and descriptions from the Teh Tarik Competition.
I can well imagine that you got dizzy just watching whirling dervishes! ;-D
All the best, Traude

Beautiful food you ate, restaurant you ate Veronica.
ReplyDeleteThe Teh Tarik drink looks really good. Reminds me of our frothy coffees here. You have many interesting dishes on here today. Lots of yummy food. I would love to visit the street market, sounds fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI hope the September days have been good to you.

I have not eaten durian for a long time. Dim Sum looks yummy!

ReplyDeletehidangan yang sangat delicious.. Aku tertarik dengan yang dibungkus daun teratai...ketan di dalamnya sepertinya begitu tasty...juga choung fun kalau di tempatku disebutnya Ci chong fan kak veronica...happy weekend ^^
ReplyDeleteTeh Tarik sounds delicious and unique! I love learning about different traditional beverages from around the world.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I really traveled somewhere today. The food looks amazing. I can almost hear the music as the dervish twirls.
ReplyDeleteYum. We just tried our first dim sum (sort of) when we visited the San Francisco Chinatown.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you commented on my blog so I could come over here and see you interesting info. So much here I've never heard of so that means I learned a LOT! Thank-you. All these foods are new to me. Now I'm starving.
ReplyDeleteIt is always a pleasure to look at your gallimaufry of photos, and so very interesting to see your part of the world, plus all the delicious food. Thank you so much and I wish you a very happy week.
ReplyDeleteVeronica I want dim sum right now! It all looks so delicious. The Whirling Dervish show was amazing! When his skirts lit up and them then his extra fast ending were astounding. Thanks for showing the video.
ReplyDeleteA plate of those amazing fried shrimp dumplings would really hit the spot right now... and your Dim Sum breakfast looked absolutely divine!
ReplyDeletei really appreciate that Dim Sum info ... this all looks so good to me and i wouldn't even know where to begin. i could use a little snack right about now, Veronica!
ReplyDeleteOh very amazing event
ReplyDeleteThanks for share all your good photos with us
Oh great event
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I know very little about all this interesting food. I looked up durians and found out that they are extremely nutritious. Wonderful photos! Enjoyed looking at them.
ReplyDeleteInteresting history of the whirling dirvishes.
ReplyDeleteI can't imaging spinning for 30 minutes. The video clip was only seven, and that made me dizzy. It was very mesmerizing though.
I also enjoyed the video of the art of Teh Tarik.
You always have such interesting things in your gallimaufrys.
I recently saw a dervish on a cruise.

ReplyDeleteBonito el santuario de la virgen y el hibisco.
Buen fin de semana.
Un abrazo.
I've often heard the expression "whirling Dervish" but had no idea what that was until now; thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow what many different kinds of food you showed and yes much is unknown to me hear. But it did look delicious. And that man spinning in circles must have practiced well because it will make me dizzy too by watching. Thanks for sharing also for all with the infomation .
ReplyDelete...I LOVE the yellow hibiscus, enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful collection of photos, Veronica!
