Porridge stall @ Jalan Ipoh

Apart from the normal night crowd, I have nothing to complain about on the stall and so much to praise about! Located just by the main Jalan Ipoh Road, you won’t possibly miss the place. Take note that it’s right opposite of HSBC Jalan Ipoh and there will be some steam coming from the boiling pot of porridge when you drive pass. Mentioning this gives me the urge to drive over there for supper already.
First let’s start with the food. They sell porridge with steamed chicken to match. The porridge is clean and steaming hot when it arrives and you will need to get some salty chopped steam chicken to eat with every bite. The porridge and chicken matches perfectly and you will really need to order the «yao cha guai» to match together with it. Heavenly. One downside though, the chicken can be too fat at times, that’s rather disappointing to me. If you’re in for the taste, this place is recommended.

One day I came across the crowd and long queue of cars parking along the street of Jalan Ipoh and I wondered why so I went to park my car and decided to go for it. It was actually one of the famous porridge stall. Although it was only 6plus in the evening, the crowd has already gathered there.
I suspect it is a family business where the son cooks, mother takes the takeaway order, and father was trying to help out somehow distributing the porridges to customers. There is also a corner that sells steam chicken.
You are only allowed to sit on the red tables and chairs and if you find yourself on a different colour seat, perhaps you are sitting on other restaurant’s table (this is not allowed, unless you are also ordering food from the other restaurant). Don’t try to place any orders or change your order with a different person because you will end up being told off, which I find this rather rude although I understand their perspective.
When you place your order, you will have to specifically mention small portion otherwise you will be given a big one. If you need additional order, you can always place it in advance to avoid waiting for too long.
Price for a bowl of porridge is not cheap giving the fact that it is on a road side and it is only street vendors. But if you fancy home cook porridge, you can have a try!
