The bowl of Bak Kut Teh with 182.88 cm in diameter and 91.44 cm in height, and containing 500kg of pork, 450kg of soup and 50kg of herbal medicine, has been listed in the Malaysian Book of Record, and is now applying for Guinness World Records.

The Malaysian Klang Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCCI) will collaborate with five Bak Kut Teh (meat bone tea) sellers in Klang to cook the world's biggest bowl of Bak Kut Teh, KCCCI said on Friday.

This activity is in conjunction with the "Klang Bak Kut Teh Carnival 2008" held on Nov. 22 and 23 in Klang in Malaysia's central state of Selangor.

Meat bone tea is a Chinese soup popularly served in Malaysia and Singapore. It consists of meaty pork ribs in a complex broth of herbs and spices, including star anise, cinnamon, cloves, dang gui and garlic, boiled together for hours.

The stoneware bowl measure 3 feet (0.91 meter) tall with diameter spanning 6 feet (1.83 meters). It can hold 1,244 liters and weighs approximately 280 kg.

The world's biggest bowl of Bak Kut Teh is equivalent to 2,976 bowls of Bak Kut Teh one usually finds in the restaurants.

In addition, the organizer also prepared 2008 pieces of limited edition bowls to commemorate the Klang Bak Kut Teh Carnival 2008. These bowls will be sold to raise fund for the event.

The organizer has selected 55 out of the 2008 bowls to be auctioned during the carnival. These bowls have special serial numbers including 1, 8, 88, 888 and more.
