Teo Hing Teo Chew Porridge

Wifey was not well today, so she requested porridge for lunch.
Teo Chew Porridge. 
Where to get nice porridge in Seremban? Well, I could only think of is the Teo Hing Teo Chew Porridge in Seremban town, a couple shops away from RHB bank Seremban. Teo Chew Porridge IMHO is basically bland white rice porridge served with assorted side dishes. 

Teo Hing Teo Chew Porridge Shop.

This restaurant has been here as long as I can remember. The locals call it 'lou jie pai' basically a well-known household name in cantonese.

The locals loved the porridge here. To me, they still serve the best Teo Chew porridge. Their preserved vegetables (ham choi) are still the best.

Place is packed during lunch hours
Oh by the way, they do sell chicken rice as well here. I don't know whether it's good or not. I just like their porridge.
A closer look at the various dishes on offer.
 You just order your choice of rice or porridge, can pick and choose your dishes. Prices will be charged accordingly.

An ancient cash till that is still functional!
During the hard times of old, porridge used to be food of the poor. But today the opposite is true. A pack of rice porridge with salted eggs and preserved vegetables cost RM4.80! More expensive than a big bowl of noodles.

That said though, I will still come again to this shop whenever I need to have some porridge.
