When we are not feeling well, hot porridge becomes a great choice
My son was not feeling well. Thus, my wife said we should eat something light. We thought of porridge and there was a shop we frequent in Bandar Menjalara. I dropped my wife before I went off to park the car. As I drove around looking for a parking space, I saw a new porridge shop called ‘Tasty Porridge.’ It’s a new shop which I have never seen before on the same row as the porridge shop we wanted to go. I could see there were still some empty tables in the shop and I called my wife and asked if she has managed to get a table yet. My wife said no and I told her to just walk to the new shop which was maybe 50 metres away.
Spacious shop is important for me
I arrived at the shop and it look pleasant and spacious. Take a look at two the photo below. It looks welcoming and the the service was also good too.

Highlight of the dinner for me
I ordered ala-carte of spicy stewed pork and also a bowl of porridge. Take a look below. The spicy stewed pork is flavourful, has just enough spiciness and definitely not too salty which is great. Still, please do not put too much of the gravy into your porridge okay. The porridge by itself is already tasty, just like the shop’s name.


A Set of Delight
Meanwhile, my wife ordered a set which comes with a porridge of choice, with drink, dessert and also some tit-bits too. For RM19.90 this is definitely a good price to try out.

Where are the other Tasty Porridge restaurants?

5 stars – The portion size is like a challenge – you’ll need to bring a friend to help you finish it. Are you up for it?
Service:
1 star – The service here is like a date with someone who isn’t really serious about you – you’ll be left waiting, disappointed, and wondering why you even bothered showing up.
2 stars – The waiter seems to have mistaken me for their ex, because the service was ice-cold.

Ambience:

Would I be coming back? My wife has the answer already. It seems this is even better than that other porridge shop. Choices are aplenty too. I agree and we should be back even if none of us are sick. We think porridge for dinner is delightful and tasty too.
