Teh See (Not So) Special
Aug 13th, 2008 by Clare
What is so special about teh see/teh see peng? Oh, very! Even our Rejang River looks like one!
You can practically scoop a glassful of water from the Rejang River, add some ice and pass it off as a glass of Teh See Peng.
Jokes aside, Teh See Special is claimed to be originated from a coffeeshop in 7th Mile, Kuching which they took pride in. But I have tasted better Teh See Special in Kuching City.
The so-called ORIGINAL Teh See Special from 7th Mile
Teh See Special is actually your normal Teh See Peng with a little bit of twist in it. With some skills and knowledge of liquid density, you can even make your own Teh See Special! The bottom layer consists of gula melaka (the local call it gula atap), the middle layer is basically condensed milk and the top layer - the tea, is the most important because it gave the drink its surname “TEH” 
5-Layer Teh See Special from Expert Food Court, BDC
Like I said, with a little bit of knowledge and skill, and a dash of creativity, the 5-layer Teh See Special was born!
1: Gula melaka
2: Condensed milk
3: Green Tea
4: Tea
5: Cincau
Don’t wince yet! It actually tastes nice! After all these layering of Teh See Peng was born, most coffeeshop in Kuching (anywhere in Sarawak, for that matter) have already mastered the art of making the drink (usually 3-layer) which makes it not that special anymore.
Damn, I am so in love with the pictures.
Thank you very much! I took them all except the last one
Don’t complain! You don’t have to drink it! There are people across the river who store the water in big oil drums to let the residue settle…and then they use the water for drinking and cooking. That was in the 80s…so hopefully they’re much better off now.
now you know when you order your teh see peng where the kopitiam guy get the drink from!
Hahahahahhahaha! If the taste is not kaw enough to be teh see peng…
I prefer the one at Demak Laut
Wah 5 layers, can make it 10 layers or not?
You can try. Can make hell lotsa money you know
Now, I’m thirsty. Eh Clare, BDC sounds familiar. Is that Bandung? Kat maner tu?
Bandung kepala hotak engkau lah Anne! BDC kat Kuching lah!
I try when I come to Sibu
Sibu has 3-layered only. Go Kuching!
Oh yer ker.. Yer lah, kalau kat Kuching, kat maner exactly kat Kuching? Macam familiar lah… =p
BDC quite near airport. Entah lah I don’t know how to describe it lah.
Wa… i want to try~~~~
I thought you tried before…?
em…but i have never tried this 5layer one…anywhere in bint-ulu can find this ar?
Never heard Bintulu got this also.
[…] if Clare feels that the Rejang River is like teh-see, what does she think the water in this river resemble? Air ular? CocaCola? And amazingly, I saw no […]
Why we never have layered Teh C in KL.
I never see any layered Teh C in KL as well
Damn, these people so kiasu. 5 layers now? Next time do multi layers
Have you tried? It’s not bad though
KK oso got these Teh C Peng (not so) special … 4 layer lah I think with the Mint tea
The mint makes it nicer though … some place put too much gula melaka, you’d die from the sweetness of it hehehe
Ooohh! Would love to try that too!
