I must remember for next time I am there. Can't you just cook it for yourself at home? More for you! clekitty and dea, She learned from my Mum and from my sister Juji and then experimented and tweaked it. She gets it perfect now, which is great for me! :-P Cindy, It's not a dish that appeals to everyone! A lot of my western friends think rice porridge is weird because their vision of porridge is the rolled oats kind, and the thought of a "porridge" eaten with meat and soy sauce and fried garlic sounds just wrong to them! I remind them it's made with rice, but they are not convinced. Hahaha. Gcroft, Yes! I did! I had a big bowl for breaky and it was a great start to my day. Jac isn't fond of ginger so she'd never include ginger, but that's ok... I won't complain! :) Megan, I don't mind eating century egg porridge but I don't really like eating the actual century egg. :) It is pretty stinky, so I can see why your bf isn't into it. But then, I love durian, so obviously my tolerance for stinky food is very selective. Cookie, Haha, yes when I was a kid the most common version my late grandma would make was pork mince or pork rib chok. And whenever any of us kids were sick, when we were on the mend she would cook "pak chok" ('white' porridge), just plain chok cooked in water, and we were allowed to eat it only with soy sauce and maybe a little bit of fried egg.

We used to eat it with just a sprinkle of fried onions, a thousand year egg and soy sauce. SO simple yet SO good! I haven’t had chok since I was a kid but now I totally crave it!

I like to eat the salty pickled vegetables and the thousand year eggs in mine (two things I swore I'd never eat when I was little!). My boyfriend is also Caucasian and has come to love the rice porridge too (but not the thousand year eggs, haha!). Yum, rice porridge is my favorite!

Congee is my all-time favourite comfort meal. I make it with fish/chicken and slices of ginger. Did you have leftovers for brekkie? Another tasty meal! Congee is my all-time favourite comfort meal.

But then neither does U.S. Southern "grits." The stir-fry dish looks delicious. I'm wanting to see a bit of white rice around the edges. :-) You mention cold/wintry; I had to remind myself of your location. We're sizzling with very hot summer temps here!
