This is no ordinary porridge. It’s made with Ipoh’s famous Salted Chicken, or Yim Kook Kai in Cantonese. I bought Aun Kheng Lim’s Yim Kook Kai for dinner yesterday. My dear friend, Pat, told me to save the bones as it makes great chicken stock and also porridge. I decided to make porridge with it first.
You cant see much chicken bits in this pics as i walloped them all yesterday, lol. Whatever’s left is also mixed well as the porridge is being cooked. For added sweetness, i also added a few dried scallops to it. You can see the brown bits in this pic. The aroma of “Tong Kwai” is still strong though there’s only a few bits in the porridge. The taste? HEAVENLY!!!!!!!!
This is the box of Aun Kheng Lim’s Salted Chicken. As the shop is situated along a busy road, forget about parking your car. Actually, you dont need to as the workers there are always standing outside the shop to hand you your Salted Chicken. Just wind down your window and show them your fingers, lol.
Those of you planning for your baby’s fullmoon, do note that you can get them to prepare fullmoon packs for you to distribute to friends and family members. I did that on Malcolm’s fullmoon. The shop’s address is No 24, Jalan Theatre, 30300 Ipoh, Perak. Tel/fax: 605-2542998.
Aun Kheng Lim’s Yim Kook Kai comes wrapped in baking paper. It’s stated on the box that it’s best you steam it for 5 minutes before you unwrap it. Me, i heck care. Who has the patience to wait, horrr. Eat lah. I love it best with Ipoh’s Lan Fah Soy Sauce. Since i dont have any at home, i used Kikkoman instead. MMmMMmM mm MmMmM m mmMMm mM HAH!!!! Caught you salivating. Faster go buy some.

I love porridge very much and do cook porridge every now and then. To me, porridge is the ultimate comfort food of all time. I had this bowl delicious bowl of Pei Tan Sau Yook Chook earlier this evening. I’ve not been feeling well since last week. Maybe the weather’s to be blamed for my lousy mood too. Abuthen, i really felt better after having this Pei Tan Sau Yook Chook.

Is there ever a Beautiful Cooking day in your life? If there is, which day would it be? Although i seldom cook, i do love cooking on a rainy Sunday. We usually dont go out on rainy days. I would say my favorite meal for a rainy Sunday would be a big pot of Homecooked Porridge. Just dump everything into the pot, add water, and in an hour or so, we get to sit down to a bowl of wholesome and yummy porridge; the ultimate comfort food for a rainy day.
What you see here is a pot of Chicken with Oysters Porridge. I also added some dried scallops to it to make it even sweeter. I love it with some Marmite and lots of Organic Sesame Oil. My kids love theirs with Kikkoman Sauce and Organic Sesame Oil. Hubby is okay with whatever i put before him, lol.
I found an interesting Cooking Show online sometime back. Was far too busy to put the links up. Here’s Beautiful Cooking 2 for your weekend watching pleasure.

This is real comfort food. With the rain showing no signs of stopping, what more can i do except to stay home and cook a huge pot of hot pork ribs porridge? My kids no longer like porridge, not even fish porridge. No idea why. Only hubby and i eat porridge these days. You really dont need much to cook porridge, you know.
I took out a packet of pork ribs (about 600gm) from the freezer and left it to defrost in a pot of warm water (still in its plastic bag, of course). Shredded some ginger, and washed a cup of rice into the claypot. Added some water to it and let it boil on the stove. Add some salt to it, k.
By then, the pork ribs were ready and i rubbed some salt all over them. Rinsed off the salt and par-boiled it to get rid of the porky smell and taste. Dumped them all into the claypot and turned down the heat. In an hour or so, it’ll be ready. I sometimes add dried oysters or dried scallops to my porridge.
Porridge is best eaten with a dash of soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper and lots of spring onions. I didnt prepare any spring onions to go with my porridge today. If you have fermented beancurd or fu-yuih, add a piece to it. Phwooooah…. SYIOK!!!

As all i had was just a bowl of Curry Noodles at Oldtown Kopitiam this evening, i’m famished by now. It’s almost 2am here, k. What do you expect, huh. I’ve had enough of rice and noodles, and i’m sick of eating bread, blekkkk.
On my way to the kitchen, i noticed i still have a can of unfinished Quaker Oats. And i’m so happy to find that there’s Marmite too. I love Quaker Oats with Marmite. Can never go wrong with this combination.
With just some hot water and a spoonful of Marmite, i get a bowl of healthy and nutritious comfort food for supper. As for the brown liquid on the surface of the Quaker Oats, that’s just a dash of Organic Sesame Oil.
I found a piece of Fried Fish inside the rice cooker. My MIL fried two for my FIL, but he only ate one. And so, i added the Fried Fish to my bowl of nutritious Quaker Oats with Marmite. Delicious and satisfying. Isnt this the ultimate comfort food for supper?
