Teochew Porridge Lunch At Lebuh Presgrave (Sa Tiao Lor)

Teochew Porridge Lunch At Lebuh Presgrave (Sa Tiao Lor) – When we talk about Teochew Porridge, it’s actually white waterish porridge with a few small dishes that to be eat with the porridge. This is the Teochew-style. Cantonese-style is porridge that has taste and cook with pork or chicken.

Many people like Teochew Porridge because it’s refreshing, it’s affordable and you can pick a variety of dishes. It’s just like eating mixed/economy rice, just that you don’t eat with rice but with white porridge.

At Presgrave Street (Lebuh Presgrave), also known as Sa Tiao Lor to the local, there’s a kopitiam that has a Teochew Porridge stall that operates throughout noon to the afternoon. I went to try out last week and it’s pretty good. There’s a variety of dishes for you to choose like salted egg, mui choi, fried fish, omelet, vegetable and more. What I like is the porridge which is watery and the rice is soft.

Check out the map for the location. It’s located in a coffee shop at the corner of Presgrave Street. At night, the coffee shop sells Hokkien Mee and Char Koay Teow.

猪肠粥 Pork Intestine Porridge At Lebuh Cintra

猪肠粥 Pork Intestine Porridge At Lebuh Cintra – Are you fan of Pork Intestine Porridge? I am not. Haha, but I do eat it sometimes, when I feel bored about the food I have been eating. Well, my recent Pork Intestine Porridge was at a old-school coffee shop located in George Town, on Lebuh Cintra. This is quite well-known to the older generation of the Chinese community in Penang as it’d been there for several decades. The dish is prepared on a classic cart/stall.

A look into the interior brings you back to the olden days of Penang where people sip Chinese coffee and read newspaper in here. It brings out a sense of old school with the usage of kopitiam-style furniture. In the day, the Pork Intestine Porridge stall operates, but at night, another porridge stall takes over the place, it sells chicken and fish porridge at night.

A bowl of Pork Intestine Porridge cost RM4.50 for a regular bowl size and RM5 for large bowl size. The price is reasonable given that the bowl of porridge contain many delicious pork delicacies in it. It tasted salty, somehow OK-good in my opinion because I am not a Pork Intestine-Person. If you ask me will I visit it again, I would say, yes I will. =D

Teochew Porridge And Ah Lai Hokkien Prawn Mee At Cecil Street Market

Teochew Porridge And Ah Lai Hokkien Prawn Mee At Cecil Street Market – I’ve wrote about my weekend at Cecil Street Market And Food Stalls, now I want to share about what I’ve eaten at there two days ago. As you know, Cecil Street Food Stall is one of my favourite eat out place in Penang when I am craving for local yummy Penang food as you can find almost everything here.

Last Saturday, I went there for lunch and it were Teochew porridge with dishes and a bowl of hokkien prawn noodle. Teochew Porridge is actually plain white porridge with a some little Chinese dishes. The name of Teochew Porridge is called is because Teochew-people in China cooks and eats plain white Teochew style porridge in this way (Cantonese style porridge is usually more smooth and concentrated)

There’s only two of us that noon, mom and me and we ordered four little dish which consists of siu yok (sio bak / roasted pork), long bean, fried eggs and fried dace with black bean. 4 simple dishes but they were just awesomely pleasing and it costs not more than RM10 at only RM8.60 for all.

The great part is eating with the plain white waterish Teochew rice porridge which is a healthy. The combination of the simple dishes with the porridge makes up the Teochew Porridge which is just great for a lunch.

Because I was on a holiday back in Penang and was craving for Penang food, I couldn’t get myself not ordering a Penang food for lunch. Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee was on my mind at that time. There’s actually 3 stalls in the market, I’ve tried one before which was just OKAY, there’s another one was not open at that day and I went to try the one which is called Ah Lai’s Hokkien Prawn Mee, hidden deep in the sea of food stalls.

The stalls owner was very kind to show me the prawn shells which are used to make the yummy prawn mee soup. It’s not recommended to eat frequently due to high cholesterol from the prawn shells, but sometimes it’s really hard to resists the deliciousness.

My bowl of hokkien prawn mee was the maggi mee version. The soup tasted sweet and has a strong sense of prawn taste in it, probably because of the prawn shells used to cook the soup. The mixes of boiled egg, pork meats and shallots perfected the dish. Best of all, it’s only RM2.50! Cheap and tasty, I will come back for this again.

Make a visit to the market and you will be amaze by the variety of food.

Cecil Street Market And Hawker Stalls (Qit Tiao Lor Ban San / 七条路巴刹)

#1: You will know the place by seeing the name Pusat Penjaja Lebuh Cecil which means Cecil Street’s Food Court.

Cecil Street Market And Hawker Stalls (Qit Tiao Lor Ban San / 七条路巴刹) － Cecil Street, also known as Qit Tiao Lor in Hokkien or literally means 7th Road is famous for its market and hawker stalls. Many locals love to flock into the market and hawker stall to eat out and hunt for good food as there have a variety of local Penang hawker food to choose from.

#2: A Hokkien Prawn Noodle stalls which haven’t open yet.

Cecil Street Markat & Hawker Stalls is one of my favourite place to eat in Penang given that the place is more local-ish to me with 99.9% people eating out are locals and for its great variety of local food. I dislike hawker food stalls like at tourist centric Gurney Drive area and New Lane.

#3: Aunty was thinking something.

#4: A busy woman talking on the phone and wanting to buy kuih.

#5: At the kuih stalls, the owner lady trying to tell the girl how much it is for the kuih.

Yesterday, I went there with my mom to have lunch, and also to buy some stuff from the market to cook at home. It was about noon time and you can hear many people chattering around with coffee boy shouting here and there loudly to order a drinks for the customers.

#6: Another hidden and good hokkien prawn noodle stalls. The name is Ah Lai’s Hokkien Prawn Noodle.

#7: Disabled person trying to earn some living by selling his voices – singing karaoke, which turns out to has a good voice.

#8: An old lady waiting for … someone, or food.

#9: Picking dishes which to be eat with porridge.

Aroma of local food can be inhaled at there. Hokkien dialect is the main language of the hawker food stalls area which can be heard almost everywhere. Everyone was busy chomping their food and talking. I was then busy taking photos around, capturing the image of the locals to share with you guys.

#10: Fishmonger scrapping off the fish scales.

#11: A man in helmet picking shrimps.

#12: Eat more vegetables which is very good for your health.

#13: Garlic, do you like it? Yes, I do.

#14: A lady buying stuff at the market.

I’ll show you in other post that what I have eaten yesterday. Porridge with a few dishes, and a bowl of Penang hokkien prawn noodle was my lunch yesterday, which is deliciously good.
