breakfast at petaling street

hon kee famous porridge since 1959

almost anyone and everyone who has had walked along the famous petaling street would know the existance of hon kee, a humble little stall that serves smooth silky porridge worth boasting about.



'sang yu' in piping hot porridge

you see, what makes hon kee more extraordinary than the usual porridge stalls you find littering every nook and cranny of food courts and wherenots is the raw fish it serves alongside with piping hot porridge! it's alittle bit like having yee sang/sashimi. being cautious eaters, we decided to be safe by dipping the raw slices of fish into our porridge and making sure that they're cooked thoroughly before consuming, but i've seen the older generation eating 'em raw, sashimi style! so, it's really up to you how you wanna savour the catch of the day...


with extra raw egg


with extra crunchy fried intestines

these fried little things make the whole breakfast experience more worthwhile and satisfying. so yumm (jen pls don't barf, u can skip this part ;-p) that i requested to ta pau a pack as snacks (rm5, not cheap as snacks)! i know it's sinful... but it's too sinful to say nooooooooooo...!


pricing for your reference :) (image googled)


chee cheong fun in onion oil and loadsa sesame- rm3

one of the most plain but most awesome ccf i've had in kl. to be honest, the ccf deserves to have the same limelight and fame and be mentioned in the same breath as the porridge. i like my ccf plain like this, no curry/sweet sauce/foreign alien gravy. its so le yum that i ta pau a pack for lunch the next day at office, topped with sinful crunchy intestines... soooooo good that the whole morning i was looking forward for lunch!


bbq bacon strips- rm9 (100gm)

when one is inarguably a carnivorous, one will never be able to resist the sight and smell of this (pic above)! to buy or not to buy.... TO BUY OF COS! eat it as a snack or sandwich it with bread, it's finger lickin' good! an expensive and fattening snack though, but these two words are non-existent in my gastronomic dictionary!

cheers to good food and more!

restoran ho ho steamboat @ sri petaling

calvin has been telling me how good ho ho steamboat is which is nearby his home. so last sunday evening, we decided to give this place a visit.

boasting to be affiliated with pulau ketam (the ingredients perhaps?) as written in the signboard, the freshness of its ingredients is not doubted by us and the scores of patrons filling up the tables by 7pm is an indication of fresh food steamboat.




as with any other steamboats, one of the most important items is the sauce! ho ho offers its own blend of chilli sauce which goes best when mixed with a generous amount of sesame oil. forget about the calories...


mix of chilli blend and sesame oil


steaming boat of good stuff on a rainy day


calvin's interesting mix of noodles and poached eggs with generous sprinkle of pepper! it looks like a weird combination but its so simple and delish!

the downside though is that the minimum order is 2 pax. so to those planning to have some quality time alone eating steamboat, sorry lah ya. pricing is less than rm20 per pax, not too cheap considering some places have buffet steamboat at the same price. but then again, it's quality fresh food you're paying for ;-)
