Tea With Egg is probably not the most obvious combination when it comes to downing a hot beverage.
I usually have tea with milk if I do drink it, and I like my eggs poached or scrambled.
I never thought about combining my solid and liquid components of breakfast into the one single source of sustenance as a midnight snack.
However, I’m staying with Taufik and his family in central Sumatra, Indonesia, and he suggested that I try it.
‘It is a specialty of Pekanbaru’.
I thought, why not? I’ve tried worse things before.
And to my surprise, Tea With Egg/Teh Telur is actually pretty good!
So here is how to get hold of one:
First of all, find a stall in Pekanbaru, central Sumatra, in Indonesia that serves this stuff. Ask for Teh Telur.
Secondly, crack one egg into a glass, and whisk until frothy.
Thirdly, add sugar, sweetened milk and boiling tea to the mix.
Presto, you have Tea With Egg – a fantastic way to have a protein mix!
Have a few more and become the biggest beefcake in your town!
Maybe you could try this at home. I highly recommend it if you like to try something different.

Anyway, thank to Air Asia for helping me get to Indonesia so I can try Teh Telur! Check out their website for their cheap fares all around Asia!
