Porridge@ Section 17/1A.

Porridge for breakfast is the best remedy if you has a stomach upset from a previous night's  food binge.

This open air porridge stall, sandwiched between two blocks (Block A & B) of 4 storey walk-up flats in Section 17/1A is synonymous with office workers and nearby residents.

The husband/wife team have operated this porridge stall for more than two decades.

We missed their porridge when they were closed for nearly a year because her husband was immobile after an accident.

Recently they reopen, but only on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and  start at around 6.45 am by 8.30-9 am they are sold out. 

So be early if you want to try them out!


The porridge served here are Yu Sang (sliced grass carp fish), Chi Chap Chuk (deep fried mixed pig's innards), coagulated pig's blood, liver and plain ones topped with sliced ginger, chopped spring onion and a dash of sesame oil.

Parking is bearable.

We ordered two bowls of plain white porridge @RM2/bowl- we brought along thinly sliced Garouper meat and finely chopped Coriander leaves and added it to the piping hot porridge for extra flavor and taste !

Location: a stall in Jalan 17/1A,

Between Block A & B, 

Petaling Jaya.

 

Gelama Pisang.

Gelama Pisang aka Croaker fish is mostly found in both fresh and saltwater, near to muddy river banks, bays or estuaries.

When alive, the fish make a croaking sound by beating it's abdomen muscles against the swim bladder-hence the name Croaker fish.

They are usually small and medium in size and the ones that we bought weigh around 200gms.

The 1st fish stall located at the junction of the Section 17/1A Pasar Tani, Petaling Jaya sell these fish whenever it is available.

Open every Thursday morning-go early for the freshest produce.

Gelama Pisang-deep fried until it's skin was crisp and drizzled with light soy sauce-not bony with white sweet flaky flesh-delicious.

They even cut/chop/descale/slice up the fish for you at no extra cost!
