Chinese Peanut Porridge

There are times in the morning that I don't really know what to eat for breakfast; or I simply want a simple and light breakfast to start the day. If I want a simple and light breakfast, I would normally go for peanut porridge. You can find this food mostly in Chinese run coffee shop that sells Chee Cheong Fun ( steam rice rolls) or fried noodles in the morning. Just ask the stall vendor whether they sell peanut porridge; some do and some don't.

The ingredients that goes into the making of Chinese peanut porridge are rice, peanuts ( boiled ), ikan bilis or sometimes white small fish ( my preference), spring onions, slices of ginger and shallots ( optional). The entire cooking process is mainly through boiling; except for the white small fish which you have to deep fried it so that it would be crispy.

The cost of this meal is normally from RM2.00 depending on where you eat it and the size of the serving. Chinese peanut porridge is a good meal for both young and old. It is easy to eat and very tasty as well.

Mooncakes Shopping in Johor Bahru

A few days ago, I went to City Square Mall in Johor Bahru specifically to buy mooncakes. The mall is currently having a Mooncake Festival Sale at the atrium on the ground floor. There were lots of mooncake vendors displaying their specialty mooncakes in their booths.

I had bought mooncakes from Johor Bahru for many years. I must say that the quality and variety of mooncakes have improved significantly over the years. The prices of these mooncakes are reasonable too as compared to those selling in Singapore.

There is one particular mooncake vendor which I had patronize for many years. The quality and variety of their mooncakes are good. If you are keen to find out which vendor mooncakes I always patronize from, just follow the link below to my blog -
