Today, CH is in Penang with his colleague from French. The French guy is leaving back to France later. On the way sending him to the Airport, CH & Manager bring them to the famous Seafood Porridge Shop at the left bank of the main road.
The shop is quite famous and always full with customer. They hardly find a place to sit. The shop is a wooden old shop, but yet the shop looks clean and tidy. There's tip in finding this shop: Try to notice the old-wooden shop with yellow colour light on your left when you're on the way to Penang airport. When you nearby the shop, you will see a lot of car parked along the roadside to the shop.
Before the "main course" - seafood porridge, they order some Penangese appetiser:
1) Toast with margarin and sugar. CH loves this very much. The toast is full with fragrance of margarin and when it is crunchy and sugar match perfectly with the margarin. CH rates this is one of the best toast he tasted after the "Roti Bakar White House" in his hometown at Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
2) The "Ju Hu Eng Chai" - Mix squid salad with water spinach, peanut and sweet prawn paste. Always a Penangese favourite.
3)The seafood porridge. Every customer has to go to the counter and choose the stuff he/she wants to cook with the porridge. They have choices of: sliced fish, fried fish head, big prawn, frog, fish maw, fish ball, bird's egg or squid. CH recommends prawn, frog and fish maw. The customer can choose either to cook with Porridge, noodle or rice noodle(bee-hun).
Time for tasting. The soup is very clear and refreshing, but yet very tasty with the stuff you choose. Especially the prawn, it is very big, stiffful, juicy and full with flavor of sea.
CH & Gangs order totally 6 nos. of porridge, 1 ju-hu-eng-cai, 2 piece of toast and 6 glass of iced Longan. All this costs them RM130.00. It is expensive! But yet there're so many people visiting this place, so you can imagine how good is the Porridge over here. CH recommend everybody to try this place at least once.
