Fried Porridge @ Fong Ting Siew, Serdang

This was something new to us... fried porridge at Serdang, near Kulim. We were meandering our way home after Taiping through the Federal Route decided to give this a try....

The exact location of the shop...

This is the shop.... it's hard not to miss it cos it's just beside the road.

And as were waiting for our orders, I saw this on the wall... all the 'famous' people who have eaten here and also the newspaper cuttings, their accolades. We waited for our food in anticipation.

This is the 'fried' porridge. It doesn't look appetizing, does it? Anyway, we dug in. The first mouthful was kinda spicy. Then all the flavours start to find their way thru. We could tell that a lot of dried shrimps are used... the fried dried shrimp signature smell was there. There're also plenty of bacon, strips of meat, spring onion... it's a different porridge experience... 8)

Ribs with shredded ginger and other stuff... the meat was a little over fried, I think. But still, they were tender enough.

The fish that we had... by the time this came, we knew we had over ordered. This is small time Serdang, where portions are generally still quite big. We also ordered a plate of veg to go with the porridge...

My little girl was surprised to see this...

She didn't know that cotton grows on trees... and she was quite amazed to see this cotton pods growing on the trees. LOL!

And her Papa went around collecting a small bagful for her to take home to show her friends...
