This little nook nestled along Chinatown's busiest street opens as early as 5am, and its 69-year-old recipe for heartwarming porridge has never failed to make our mornings better. Before the bustle begins, walk down the street for breakfast with a friend. The Fresh Raw Fish Porridge (RM7) is a champion's combo of silky smooth porridge and carp sashimi topped with coriander and sliced ginger. When dunked into the piping hot porridge, the thinly sliced fish is cooked to melt-in-your-mouth freshness. The other special to look out for is the Fresh Frog Porridge (RM18) that comes with a claypot of tender frog legs slicked in sweet, gingery sauce. If you love yau char kuey like we do, RM3 a plate will be a no-brainer. The dough is absolutely delicious dipped into warm, thick porridge.
Avg price per person: RM10
