Kheng Nam Lee Teochew Porridge

I always love Teochew porridge. I believe it must be because of how I was brought up. My mama loves to cook porridge for me. Haha. And I like it the most when she cooks plain porridge with several other dishes to go along for lunch.

Since the porridge is bland, we need something salty to go along! Haha. And my craving for Teochew porridge was finally satisfied at Kheng Nam Lee! Hooray!

Billboard inside the shop.

Saw this at the side.

Love it when I see a large selection of dishes to choose from. But I would love to see dishes that have better colors that I had saw at the stall actually......

For just the 2 of us, we ordered quite a lot I think. Hehs.

The minced meat is my man's sis's favourite. I think it's done pretty nicely. But seriously, meat is never my favourite when it comes to porridge. But of course, it spiced up the plain porridge quite a bit. A little salty and the meat was good.

And this. Oh. Woo. Whoosh. Wee! It's my favourite favourite favourite! Haha. Peanuts with ikan bilis. This is the thing that made me like nasi lemak/muslim food. Haha. I loveee it! I always order them if I see them. And jiang jiang! This is something that I saw at Kheng Nam Lee. Wah! Together with my plain porridge, it's heavenly!

And the reason why I love this dish is because they did it really well. I feel that the spiciness, sweetness, sourness and saltiness was just right. And the ikan bilis was not over fried as with some of the nasi lemak I've ate (for example, holland market). I think I finished almost the entire plate myself ba. Hahahahahaha!

 

Duckie was the man's favourite. Well, for a full-time carnivore like him, he had his meat craving satisfied. I love it when we eat it with the coriander. Yums! To him, it was good, to me, it was just another duck meat. Well, what do you think?

 

Nothing special with the braised eggs. I just happen to like them a lot. Texture of the eggs maybe? Hehs. But urm, that's my personal perference. I think it's probably because my parents always order an extra egg for me when they buy me chicken/duck rice. Haha.

Cha por egg. What's that in English ar? Salty preserved vegetables? I love this dish with plain porridge. Mama always cook them at home. Haha. I don't like the cha por to be too salty. I love it when it's a little sweet. Urm, I can only taste the salty in this dish here. A little too dry for my liking (I'm picking on the bones here). But overall it's not too bad. I still think it's a must have for porridge because it's salty. Haha!

They cooked it and cut it so that we get a slab each. Haha. I like my mama's version more. Not a regular pan shaped (as above). For I think, when you cook the egg this way, the egg tend to be dryer than usual. I prefer the scramble egg style. (I don't even know if you know what I'm trying to talk about here. Haha. It's the way you cook an egg. Haha!)

Wah. This is another of my top top top favorite! The preserved vegetables (stem area). We can it the Chai Tor. I enjoy this this especially when we eat bak ku teh. Haha. I have to say that this dish was really very well done. There's a tinge of sweetness together with the original saltiness that came from the preservatives. Yum. The taste of the sauce that the vegetables were cooked in went into the vegetables! And it was really very tender and soft. I love it. Yums.

The chili was good. My man loves it.

Barley drink was okay. Hehs. Normal lo.....

Overall, the meal was good. But then, it's a little expensive ba... The entire table of food cost $20. Urm, ya, it's quite a lot of food. Erm, we are eating porridge leh. And a lot of vegetables. Ha. I also have no idea how the boss actually counted the price actually. Haha.
