Frogs, Eels & Porridge @ Porridge Hut Restaurant, Ipoh

July 24, 2011 | 7,505 views

How to Eat Porridge with Eel

Plain Porridge with “Kung Pow” (Dried Chillies) Eel

It was with much irony, that I posted a question on the All About Ipoh page about where to go for good porridge in Ipoh, and later on that same evening, I discovered this new eatery named Porridge Hut Restaurant in Greentown.

Seemingly, they started distributing flyers since a week or so before. Appearing spanking new; with a décor not unlike the common kopitiam, the restaurant was crowded on several occasions.

Guess the dearth of good porridge (congee might be the other familiar word that you’re searching for) places in Ipoh, especially come nighttime started to take its toll on the many porridge lovers in town. Or are we so enticed by NEW outlets sprouting every now and then, that we’re drawn in to their allure like fireflies to the flame; however temporary the sensation may be?

Same Old Taste @ Sun Poh Poh in Pasir Pinji, Ipoh

August 18, 2010 | 5,660 views

Kung Pow Eel

A flavoursome platter of Stir-Fried Eel with Dried Chillies, Onions and Spring Onion (RM12/USD3.60)

For more than two decades of rich legacy behind  their resume, Sun Poh Poh Restaurant in Pasir Pinji of Ipoh has been constantly raved upon by the locals, especially residents staying around Pasir Pinji & Pasir Puteh. I for one, was born and raised in Pasir Puteh. Hence the familiarity when it comes to revisiting old classics like Sek Lau Zhi (Ais Sagu), Poh Lee Fried Chicken, and the other famous Fried Yong Tau Foo (Yong Liew) under some BIG trees (now renovated into a proper coffee shop).

Okay, for those who still wanna lament/gripe/cry injustice over the omission of Pasir Pinji’s legendary Lorong 5’s Chee Cheong Fun ….. I apologize, sincerely. The erratic business hours (1.30pm onwards on Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri only, notwithstanding sudden closure, public holidays or school holidays) and damn long queue for a plate of CCF is rather deterring. Someday, people …. someday.
