In the good old USA during our student days, by the end of the weekdays i.e TGIF(Thank God is Friday) we put our books and head or brain to rest and chilled out. That what we refer as “Miller Time”…any beer drinker should familiar with that term.
Back in Malaysia, after a hectic day..it is a teh tarik time.
Ask any Malaysian worth his or her salt to name their favourite tea, and most likely it is the teh-tarik. It is not merely a drink, teh tarik; it is a social phenomenon, much like slowing down to look at accidents. It is part of our lifestyle
Even Wikipedia, the internet encyclopaedia, describes teh tarik as the de facto national drink of Malaysia.

Even Wikipedia, the internet encyclopaedia, describes teh tarik as the de facto national drink of Malaysia.
The warm comforting sensation of a sip of teh tarik is a pick-me-up for some, and for the teetotaler, an emotional frothy crutch during troubled times.
It is often enjoyed over banter and conversations of consequence or not, and over it much time has been wasted as well as millions of ringgit worth of deals sealed.
As for me just having a teh tarik with few friends at mamak stall while shooting the breeze will soothe my mind and body from the hard day of slaving myself to earn a living.
