Teochew Porridge Horror

Pakcik brought me to Lim Joo Hin Teochew Porridge along Beo crescent for dinner. And I must say it is the most horrifying meal I ever had.

I understand that this is a popular place for teochew porridge but what I found in the food made me lost all my appetite.

These were what we ordered for dinner. And what I am about to show you might make you sick as well.

Caution! Do not scroll any further if you meet any of the criteria below:

– Worm phobia
– Still wish to have a great day ahead

Ok… for the brave ones, here’s what we found in our food.
Pakcik separated the salted egg since it was only cut but not opened yet, and immediately we saw tiny little white things moving in it.

I didn’t even zoom to take a photo of the salted egg. I merely crop the first picture and you can clearly see the white MAGGOTS in the egg!!!!!!

OMG! My scalp is itching as I am writing this post. This shows how traumatic and grossed it is to me. Having flies around food is bad enough, but this?! The offspring of the fly?????!!

We didn’t make a big fuss out it because both of us were too grossed out. Pakcik took the egg, showed and returned to the staff. We were still fully charged for the meal except for the maggot infested egg.

I don’t care if it’s an oversight of the staff or whatever, but I am NEVER ever going back there again.

*Still traumatized!*

Weekend Lunch

Pakcik brought me to Bukit Panjang for lunch. He found a stall which sells spicy noodles when he was lunching with his colleagues. It is located at block 163A Petir Road in Bukit Panjang.

Apparently, the noodles is very famous and there was already a queue when we reached there around noon. It is called 可口面 (delicious noodles).

The instant noodles is used, and the soup tasted like prawn stock with lots of chilli in it. There are a generous amount of ingredients in it: pork, prawn, pig liver, egg and veggies. The portion is so big that I could hardly finish half of the noodles.

This is really an interesting way to cook instant noodles. Do give it a try if you happen to be in Bukit Panjang. There is also a non-spicy version of it.

Plus, the dim sum in the same coffee shop tasted good as well. I had the siew mai and braised chicken feet for only $1.50 each.

Sunday in JB

Pakcik and I went to JB again after my driving lesson. The traffic was quite good today and there was almost no jam at the two customs.

We had our lunch at the Tea Garden cafe in KSL again.

I ordered the Yang Zhou Fried Rice (RM6+) and totally loved it! It’s been so long since I had such delicious fried rice! The ones I had from the zi char stalls in Singapore always give me a greasy after taste. But this fried rice was simply fragrant and not that oily! The shrimps were very crunchy and fresh as well. Even Pakcik kept stealing the rice from my plate. I would highly recommend this dish if you were to visit Tea Garden in KSL.

For Pakcik, he sticked to his usual curry chicken again. Because they ran out of prata, Pakcik opted for the white rice this time. I am pretty impressed that their food standard never seem to drop a slightest bit compared to my past visits.

I had the Grass Jelly Milk Tea and Pakcik had Coffee & Milk Tea (Yuan Yang). The coffee & milk tea tasted a lot better than mine. I would get that drink next time.

After lunch, we went to see the moon cakes road show.

Oh my! They have Hello Kitty moon cakes! The flavors are very interesting as well! There are chocolate, kiwi & strawberry, apple, mango etc. And each piece only cost around RM17. The set package comes with a Hello Kitty bag too!

From the same stall, they offer Doremon moon cakes as well! I learnt that the durian moon cake contains PURE durian puree! The price is about the same as the Hell0 Kitty’s.

Dear moon cake fans, guess it’s time for you all to rush to KSL to grab these cute and yummy moon cakes!

On the side note, price of petrol has increased to RM3 per litre. =(
