Thoughts: Two Porridge specialty restaurants can be found in the same row of shop lots in SS2, just opposite the Durian stalls, along SS 2/64. There was one visited on 13.Nov last month called the "銘記粥品 Ming Kee Porridge" for their super tasty rm$10 "銘牌燒鴨粥 Roasted duck porridge". That Porridge shop offers one of the popular Hong Kong style porridge with 燒臘 Roasted including roasted duck and roasted pork cooked in 粥 porridge or just with 飯 plain rice or 雲吞面 wantan mee!

Today for dinner is at "品粥 Tasty Porridge", also on the same road and just a few shops away from "銘記粥品 Ming Kee Porridge". This one today offers another type of popular 廣州 Guǎngzhōu/Cantonese style porridge, also can be easily found in Hong Kong. Both shops offers porridge or congee of very much Cantonese style where the congee is cooked till smooth and creamy. "品粥 Tasty Porridge" however, offers a different varieties for porridge that goes with 豬內 pork, 豬內臟 pork innards, even 田雞 frog, 黄鳝 eel, 瑤柱 scallop and 蠔士 oyster and many more, to 龍虎班魚 dragon grouper; all from rm$7 to rm$18.50. All those items are also available as Ala-Carte without the Porridge. A variety of side orders such as 皮蛋 Century Egg, 炸腸 Fried Intestine, 先炸油條 Deep-Fried Dough sticks and many more can be ordered to go along with meat or plain porridge. 

Dinner is rm$14.90 "金絲銀線粥 Golden Pumpkin", not really a vegetarian porridge as "金" means the Pumpkin Porridge which covers half of the pot with the other half being plain porridge, and the combination is topped with three items; "絲" for 干貝絲 (Shredded Scallop), "銀" for 銀魚 (Tiny fried White Bait) and finally "線" for the 齋魚翅 (Vegetarian Shark Fin). The concoction is beautifully presented in a Pot, portion is more for a 2-person consumption and taste wise, very interesting indeed!

Don't mind returning back to "品粥 Tasty Porridge" for more Cantonese style porridge here especially the 黄鳝粥 Eel Porridge, 蠔士皮蛋粥 Oyster Century Egg Porridge, or just the standard familiar 豬雜粥 Pork Mix Porridge, or maybe the rm$18.50 龍虎班魚片粥 Dragon Grouper Porridge.

Another type of Chinese Porridge, is the 潮州粥 Teow Chew Porridge or mostly referred to as "大冷" in Hong Kong, which is also a type of Porridge commonly found in the streets of Hong Kong. While Cantonese style porridge are usually cooked with 雞高湯 chicken or 豬骨湯 pork bone broth until mushy and creamy and always until the grain of the rice cannot be seen; but 潮州粥 Teow Chew Porridge is usually just rice and plain water and not cooked as long compared to Cantonese style porridge, not as mushy nor creamy. Another difference is that the Cantonese style porridge may finally be cooked together with different items, like even raw beef for a make-to-order porridge serving which is the likes of what's offered at SS2's 品粥 Tasty Porridge and 銘牌燒鴨粥 Roasted duck porridge. 潮州粥 Teow Chew Porridge is plain congee and served with various small plates of side dishes. "大冷" shops in Hong Kong offers a more extensive variety of side dishes including meats, fish, eggs, vegetables, variety of organs and animal spare parts. A lot of Hong Kong "大冷" offers many items cooked with 滷水料理 "Lǔ Shuǐ" like 鹵水鵝 , LuShui Goose, 鹵水墨魚 LuShui Cuttlefish , 鹵水豆乾 LuShui Tofu , 鹵水豬肉 LuShui Pork, 鹵水雞脚 LuShui Chicken Feet or 醃製類 Pickled items like 醃蝦菇 Pickled shrimp mushrooms, 醃蜆仔 Pickled clams, or 醃蟹仔 Pickled crabs. However, Malaysia style 潮州粥 Teow Chew Porridge are usually less exciting with fewer choices, perhaps more acceptable to the local Chinese flavors.
