This is the quintessential Singaporean dish I crave for when I'm in a cold and foreign land 
The soup is laden with herbs and spices, and tinges strongly of pepper and garlic to warm your cold, cold heart. 
Admittedly I fricked it up and doused a bit too much of dark soy sauce since it's not supposed to be this dark 
It's supposed to look something like this on the left in the picture below, but right now mine looks like the Malaysian (
) variation of the dish which is darker coloured and more herbal tasting and much less peppery. And I feel like an r-slur for peeling 20-30 pieces of garlic after seeing in the picture that it wasn't necessary 
I was trying to recall if the garlic was peeled or not and I remembered wrongly, I guess it's one of those ingredients you don't really notice since they're not the star of the dish, but yet they're an essential ingredient in making that dish.
It's usually served with dough fritters (top in the picture) and rice, and braised pig trotters (right in the picture) if you're feeling fancy but I didn't want to overeat and also since this was my virgin attempt at the soup which I wanted to focus on. Jk I was lazy 
Unlike our Hainanese Chicken Rice or Chilli Crab dishes I'm not too sure if it can be found served in the West, but I've definitely seen outlets that specialise in serving this particular dish around Asia.
Also for some reason celebrities love to have this dish at one of the famous local spots for it and you can see photographs of the celebs with the chef plastered all over the walls lol 
Here's a video on how to make the dish:

It's probably a very good comfort food for the fall/winter weather
too bad it's always hot over here so we sweat like mad from the peppercorns in the soup

Might be good to have if you ever make a hajj to your ancestral homeland (Finland).

So I read the wiki page, are there any tea leaves in this at all, or is it just an odd translation?
Looks good tho, I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Nope there isn't tea leaves in the soup and apparently the tea in the dish's name is referring to some chinese tea that's usually served along with the soup

So basically a meat soup with hardly any vegetables in it?

Vegetables are usually served as a side dish and not in the soup

I love basically all azn food including weird gross stuff. For whatever reason, God saw fit to curse me with an Asian palate. I wonder if I can find a Singaporean restaurant in the USA.

Why do they call it tea if it's more of a broth?

Why would you boil perfectly good ribs instead of at least roasting them?
