Moi (porridge)

This is a very biased post because the moi stall belongs to my mother-in-law’s god-daughter. So, expect many photos and lots of promotion.

Location : At the beginning of Argyl Road, turning from Larut Road. On the left side of the road, there is a shack in an open ground. It is pretty interesting because you will be eating under the trees, with sands on your feet. Very authentic and kampung-ish.

Food : Sweet potatoes porridge. With lots of side dishes. My favourite is the dried oysters. Unique because they uses a lot of cili padi (small, fiery chillies) and soya bean paste (taucheo) in their cooking, not often found in most Teo Chew porridge stalls.

I am putting here only two side dishes photos of salted egg (‘cos it looks beautiful)

And a dish of salted vegetables cooked in taucheo and cili padi.

On hot afternoons, eating moi is a nice, refreshing change. I used to patronise this stall when I was working in Jalan Larut. Usually, a person’s food cost less than RM4, with many side dishes already. My god-sis-in-law charged me only RM5 for two persons, ordering 5 dishes! Beside porridge, they also have yam rice.

Do go and check out this couple’s moi. They used to be rather poor but with hard work, they are now living comfortably operating this moi stall. Large Mercs and rich taukehs are their regular customers. Errrr….don’t mention my name ‘cos she doesn’t know my name.

    Bak zhuk? Simple but super duper nice. Take skills to cook nice porridge. :P My best porridge is 5 servings but cooked with nearly 18 ikan kembung fish. Yes, my dad was given about 20 ikan kembung as his frens went fishing or sumthing like that. So i was ordered to cook fish porridge.

    I scrape out all the 18 fishes of meat, and dump them into the rice cooker. Fuh~ 200% pure fish porridge, never in my life i eaten so pure punya fish porridge. The sweetness, the saltyness…all pure comes from the fish! From living room to kitchen also can smell fish. :P

    I remember enjoying Moi at Alor Setar. They serve moi by pouring porridge into a bowl of chicken or beef soup. Yummay.
