Cheng Hwa Seafood Porridge at Jalan Atas, Nibong Tebal

ROADTRIP TO NIBONG TEBAL!

If you see some of our previous posts (here, here and here), you would know that we really make sure we make it to full use of our makan-makan there. Small town, but so many good food to eat! We of course ended our night there with the ever famous crab porridge! 

We did not go to the usual restaurant that is famous for crab porridge, Chang Kee. This time, we decided to try out the new place. We saw a few times when we were there that this restaurant was filled with people. Even got people stand and wait. So we thought it must be either really good or really cheap!

Let's see what was the result. 

Cold and sweet Octopus (Japanese style) - RM10

He says: Cold. Its like going to Sushi King for the takos!

She says: The lady who mentioned this to us DID NOT say it was going to be a cold sweet dish. In fact, we were all expecting the usual steamed ones. I didn't like this dish. 

Vegetable with pork floss (bak hu) - RM6

He says: Normal dish...

She says: So normal.

Seafood Tomyam Maggi Soup (1 person) - RM7

He says: Pretty good.. more of a sweet and sour kind of tomyam..

She says: Normal tomyam. Seafood tomyam, but I only have prawns and fishballs. I don't like this tomyam. Not spicy enough. Very normal.

Steamed Clam (sour) - RM12

He says: Kinda like the sauce! I would say the best dish of the night.

She says: A bit sweet and a bit sour. I can safely say this is a dish that we were smiling while having it. Clams are all open and pretty fresh. No sand or mud. Quite nice.

Crab Porridge (1.02kg of crab) - RM66

He says: Normal. Nothing special..

She says: This is a huge letdown! The soup has no crab taste at all. The rice were soft. they were okay. Overall, as a crab porridge dish, it failed big time. At least for me. Two thumbs down for this one.

Raja Uda Tomyam at Restoran Ju Heng, Penang

What to eat?

Where to eat?

Penang Island okay! that question is like so no point! everywhere also got food! hahaha. but this time we went out of Penang island!

You must be wondering why we went for another Tomyam when we just had our KhunThai tomyam! Well, if you must know, Raja Uda is not only known for their curry mee at 7 Village but also their famous tomyam mee! And who can ever get sick of tomyam, right!

However, we were met with disappointment when the one we planned to go was close. Apparently, according to him, he said it's much nicer that the one we went, which is this one.

 Tomyam Porridge

(cooked rice, added into the soup and ingredients)

 She says: This was what I ordered. deep fried fish meat (which was refilled in the container non-stop), meatballs, sliced Taiwan sausages and minced pork meat. I love this dish. They added ginger and cili padi into it and made the whole thing tastes and smells super awesome! all that at RM8.

bowl-licking-good!

It's obvious that we love it as our bowl was clean! like clean clean!! haha :)

Tomyam Maggi

(maggi mee added into soup with other chosen ingredients)

He says: The ingredients that I chose were slices of abalone, meat balls, deep fried fish meat, Taiwan sausages or we call it 'lap cheong', minced meat and a few more different types of fishballs. It was good. But still not as good compared to the one we wanted to go, which for sure we will visit soon! Mine was also RM8.
