Chicken Porridge @ Pulau Tikus Penang 鸡粥

A Hidden Dish @ Bee Hooi Cafe

The other day I was craving for supper and looking for something light to eat and I found this - porridge. I was a bit confused when they told me they sell porridge because it is actually a chicken rice stall. I did not see any sign written they sell porridge.

I love porridge, especially chicken porridge. Their porridge was not as salty compared to what you usually eat outside which is good for supper. It did not leave a heavy breathe on your mouth. It was light, clear and not oily too. Okay I am not a super healthy freak, but it is lovely to put some lettuce in the porridge. It was just a bit disappointed that the porridge was not warm enough for me (Understandable as it was near to closing time).

Apparently local people knew about this hidden dish as I saw some people ordered this. RM4 for a bowl of porridge. Heard that their chicken rice are nice too, haven't tried since I haven't craved for chicken rice yet, next time BA!

Cintan Mee Recipe ( Stir Fry Noodles ) 炒金旦面

Cintan Mee - The Ding Dong Mee I love Cintan Mee so much, whether it is stir-fried with tomyam or soy sauce. I 'developed' this dish from an old kopitiam in my hometown which used to be famous of Cintan Mee. The shop was owned by an old couple but they closed the shop when I was in Year 5? Oh it was long time ago! Everyone miss their cintan mee. Thank god for gifted me such a good tongue and I made it!!! The taste is similar but the method of preparing is differ from the old couple. Also, I skip some ingredients to make it easy and simple. My sister loves it because she misses it so much as she was away from home for so many years. I remembered when I was in primary school and she came back from oversea, she will ask me to take away for her and she wanted it dry ( less sauce compare to the wet one). I could see she enjoys this dish so much whenever I cooked. Sadly I don't have any photo of how was the noodles looked. I really miss it. So why I ...

Stir Fry Clams Recipe with Fermented Soy Beans - lala 蛤蜊炒豆酱

Lala, one of my favourite mom's home-cook food. I hardly order this when I eat out in a restaurant because I am fussy about the taste and the freshness. M om's one is the BEST in quality and definitely the freshness. Whenever I go back to home town, Yan Kecil in Kedah; I always look for seafood to eat especially clam and crabs! I will hunt for them when I cycled around in the fish village . Otherwise I will ask my mom whether she can get it from the fishmonger in the market . Initially I was looking for the harder, longer shape's clams but only this small type of clam so called 'lala' was available in the market during the Hari Raya day. It was only sold for RM3/kilo in the marke t and more than enough to feed us for lunch and dinner. Seafood is so much cheaper to eat and fresh in home town. The flesh is really small. So you have to be patient , take the flesh out one by one. Therefore some people don't like to eat them but I e...
