Set meal: duck, pork, salted mustard vegetables with rice - MYR10.5 . Used to be MYR9.5 when we ordered the
same meal back in February this year.
Ordered the above vege (small portion) from the already-cooked dishes counter - MYR5 and a bowl of congee with sweet potatoes - MYR2. Nett price.
When we were on our way out, we decided to takeaway some rice and a few dishes selected from the already-cooked dishes counter for dinner. Minced pork, stir fried ladyfingers, stir fried bittergourd with eggs and some rice - MYR11.
I did not ask for the breakdown but this is my guess: minced pork - MYR5, rice - MYR1, the two other dishes MYR2.5 each. This is not an economy rice (chap fan) shop. The already-cooked dishes are meant to be ordered as side dishes to be eaten with congee as this is a teow cheow porridge eatery so that's why the price is high.

It is about same price as the one I sometimes go to in Penang. RM 7 - RM 12 depending on the dishes I take. But then the dishes are classier than typical zhap farn, so I guess it is worth it. I love the duck dish and fatty pork dish XD
ReplyDeleteThe one you go to is also a teochew porridge shop?
DeleteYup, the one and only in the area where I staying in, opposite BJ complex. I usually go once a month when I take my "Toyota" for carwash, they are just next to each other. Drop my car, get a quickie lunch or dinner, then go back to get my car.
DeleteYour "toyota" gets monthly spa so nice! I seldom go to Bukit jambul area when I was in penang. :)
DeleteAhhhh the moment I see salted vege and that bowl of porridge I knew its gonna be Teochew.. Yep I like too, always go to one at Desa Aman at Cheras.. I always order their duck, salted vege, braised fatty pork, peanuts, ikan kembung.. Yummmzzz
ReplyDeleteYa, sounds the same. Desa Aman? I think I have passed this taman a long time ago.
DeleteThe top one looks good. It is nice to have plain porridge with many different types of dishes.
ReplyDeleteMany different types of dishes would be expensive if Myr5 per dish.
Deleterather expensive selling every dish at RM5 per portion huh?? the set meal with roast duck and pork looks good, and i still can accept that at RM10.50.. but then that takeaway with minced pork and two veggie at RM11, OMG, that's whoppingly expensive!! guess in normal "chap fan" stalls, can get two boxes of the same thing at the same price..
ReplyDeleteYa...I would agree with SK - RM11 for that is mighty steep.
DeleteWell like I have said this is not a chap fan shop so the price is not a chap fan price.
DeleteAmong three of them, I like the first dish the most!
ReplyDeleteThe set meal.
DeleteThose days porridge seems to be a cheap kind of food but not anymore these days.. they are more expensive than chap farn.. same in Ipoh also.. eating porridge is almost or more costly than eating a plate of rice..
ReplyDeleteSweet potatoes - worth its weight in gold! The Japanese variety even worse - cost a bomb! Sweet potato porridge - a Taiwan specialty, a poor man's meal...but not anymore. :(
DeleteIf we just eat plain porridge with sweet potatoes it will cost only MYR2 but I think we will be hungry very quickly after that.
Deleteprice more or less the same here
ReplyDeleteI guess all teochew porridge places charge almost the same price.
DeleteOoooo...the duck & pork!!! I'm drooling all over!
ReplyDeleteYou like to eat meat! :)
DeleteJust 6 months and the price increased by RM1? But that plate of meats was delicious looking.
ReplyDeleteI like sweet potato congee too.
That tapau a bit expensive. RM11, you can get a fish or chicken drumstick.
Yes increased by MYR1. I guess the minced pork price is equal to a fish or chicken drumstick by their pricing.
DeleteThe first set looks good!
ReplyDeleteYes. That's why we always order the 1st set when we go there.
Deleteah this place a lot of eatery one...but I haven't try the teochew porridge shop yet...
ReplyDeleteYou are familiar with this area?
DeleteI am a Teochew and could eat porridge everyday!
ReplyDeleteI did not know that. I thought your mother is from Thailand.
