Porridge In Alor Star

Been a while since my last post on a makan place in Alor Star... this is one of those places to go for clear porridge in Alor Star.

Tis a shop with no name. It's located off Jln Raja, near the Fire Station and located right opposite Pesisiran Tanjung Chali. It's a nice place to go eat really cos it overlooks the river that cuts through Alor Star. Most of us refer to it as the porridge shop near the Flora Inn.

Pics not too clear cos I used my camera phone. But for the diner, there are many choices of food. I like the 'la-la' and kerabu dried prawns with chilli and onions. They go well with porridge. This place is a favourite for those who want something light for dinner. It was already quite packed when we got there! But service is quite prompt.

Some of the food that we took for the night. We always end up taking more cos they are so readily available. You know what they say.... we always tend to take and order more on an empty stomach.

Did a little shopping after dinner at Pacific while waiting for time to pass to get the boys from youth meet. The CNY crowd is there alright...but this year it seems a little subdued. The air of festivities not quite there. While we were waiting to pay, many of the counters cash registers went crazy and had to stop...and everyone had to wait. It was rather uncomfortable cos the place seems warmer. Probably air-con set at a higher temperature.... cost cutting. Signs are there... people seem more prudent this year.
