Hong Lim Teow Cheow Porridge Restaurant @ SS2, Petaling Jaya

In Malaysia, Teow Cheow Porridge and economic rice stalls are extremely popular. A mind-boggling spread of stir-fried, stewed, deep-fried, and steamed dishes, economic rice or a bowl of Teow Cheow porridge has an everlasting appeal because it's quick, it's affordable, there's variety (on average, there are 20 twenty dishes to choose from!), and it's as close to Mom's cooking as you can get. There are stalls like this everywhere.

As for this particular restaurant, a new owner (a bunch of ladies) just took over from the previous management/owner early this year. It is believe that the previous management didn’t do a good job in the cleanliness department (BIG MAYBE…click HERE to view the post about them...). The dishes are cooked and laid out in clear display. Patrons can pick 2 to 4 dishes to go with rice or porridge, and the final price depends on what dishes you choose. Vegetable dishes are the cheapest; going up the scale are chicken and pork, with the most expensive being seafood.

Generally the dishes are tasty as the grease and porridge coat your stomach. Both Steam mince pork meat and sweet & sour pork are tangy and for some reason, when you put it together with the porridge, it comes together like magic. Yum......

Pork Intestine is also ok and the gravy is good with rice and porridge.

As for the pan fried eggs, just normal…………
