Legend has it that Chinese When I first started my business in Nanyang, my living conditions were very poor because not suited to Damp heat Many people suffer from rheumatism In order to cure diseases and cold, the sages used various medicinal materials, including Chinses angelica Chinese wolfberry Codonopsis pilosula Wait to cook the medicine, but the medicine is called "tea" because of taboo. Once, one of them accidentally Pig bone Put in gruel of millet flour and sugar To my surprise, this (tea soup) tastes very delicious and unique. Later, people specially adjusted the ingredients of tea, and after continuous improvement, it became one of the famous local delicacies.
This is the most Representativeness The (coolie) theory is the script that has been most widely spread and has influenced many people to position meat bone tea as a common people's diet.
In the common people's view, they often sell Nanyang Piglet Scribe Equal sign As a result of habitual thinking, these ancestors who were sold to Nanyang as coolies naturally became the founders of meat and bone tea, or participated in it to highlight the role of the early Chinese in the hard times. It is said that it happened in Malaysia Klang Anyway, the scene is nothing more than a port or a dock. In the late Qing Dynasty, Chinese then came to Nanyang to make a living in order to leave the turbulent country. At that time, Malaysia British colonies The British have plundered a lot of resources in Malaysia and need to transport them back britain , and then Klang (Distance from the capital Kuala Lumpur 30 km city) has built a deep-water wharf. At that time, many Chinese people Knowledge level Not high, come Malaya You can only exchange labor for salary, such as being a tricycle driver, working as a coolie at the dock or digging Simi, so you need good physical strength.
To maintain strength and adapt for a long time tropic The regional climate needs to be supplemented. However, they are not willing to buy expensive Chinese medicine ingredients. The TCM doctors at that time South Fujian And the tea drinking in Chaoshan area, and use the local tea pepper , plus Chinses angelica rhizome of chuanxiong cinnamon Licorice And other materials into meat and bone tea bags, so that they can stew ribs and add rice or Glutinous oil rice To increase physical strength and cope with work. At that time, meat and bone tea belonged to the food of the poor.
Due to the use of medicinal materials and pork In addition to being delicious, the soup base is nutritious and resistant to rheumatism It also provided the energy needed by coolies, so it was widely spread from then on. After continuous development and improvement, it became a characteristic delicacy of the Chinese society in Singapore and Malaysia. Another name comes from the fact that, according to old Ba Sheng, there were several people in the southern district of Ba Sheng before the war everlasting spring Villagers sell local snacks, such as dried oysters, on the streets Salted rice , meat Soup And the stewed pork bones that later evolved into meat bone tea, but there was no word of meat bone tea at that time, and they all said it was "eating meat bone".
After the war, there was a man named Li Wendi who used to work as a waiter in these food stalls. Later, he started his own business in the back street. He only sold his hometown Stew Bone with Fried rice with lard Instead of dried and salted rice with oysters, he was welcomed by diners because he added Chinese medicine formula to meat and bones. At that time, because its medicinal ingredients could build up a good physique and improve one's health As a result, meat and bone tea has become very popular among workers, and gradually it has gained popularity among people of all walks of life and become a household food.
Later, people named it after Li Wendi's cooking materials (meat and bone) and his name (place). "Pork and bone place" is just like Ah Rong, who sells pork, is called "Pork Rong" Tea preparation Originally Yongchun Food customs Li Wendi simply hung up a sign and wrote the name "Dedi Meat and Bone Tea"! So "meat and bone tea" was officially born; At the same time, In the shop Li Wendi is also called "the father of meat and bone tea". According to Li Wendi's descendants, there were only seven people selling this food, including Li Wendi; Li's Meat and bone tea has been passed on to the fourth generation, and the secret recipe for cooking meat and bone tea is not passed on. Another saying is that local people like to drink one or two cups of soup when they taste it Kung Fu Tea It comes and goes greasy, so it has been called "meat and bone tea" since then.
No matter where the name of "meat and bone tea" comes from, meat and bone tea has been constantly improved from ingredients to services. It has evolved from the original "food for the poor" to one of the famous foods loved by the rich and the poor, men and women, old and young today.

In February 2024, the Malaysian government announced that 10 kinds of traditional foods loved by Malaysians, such as meat and bone tea, were officially included in the national food heritage list. In Malaysia, some people support the inclusion of meat bone tea as a national food heritage, and believe that as long as it is Malaysian food, it should be included. But others said that meat and bone tea was not a "national delicacy". A deputy minister of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture of Malaysia also said that meat bone tea is not a food available to all people, so it should not be included in the heritage list. [4]
