Two weeks ago, the foodie hubs who's a porridge lover decided to bring the whole jingbang of us to a porridge place as he wanted to eat something light and easy to soothe his strep throat after feasting on Musang King durian. I told him not to overdo on Musang King but this fler couldn't control his temptation, had a big durian feast and even brought home a tub to poison me!! Thank God I didn't succumb from sore throat and diarrhea this time. The seller claimed that his durians are free from pesticide, it seems.
Back to porridge! But the girls and I, we aren't big fans of porridge, especially Teochew style. Salted eggs, salted vegetables, pickled vegetables, salted fish, canned food -- big no no for health freak moi. Why spend so much on preserved salty food that could harm your kidneys, right? But hubs assured me that I'll surely fall in love with the food there. Ok la, I'll see what Lao Er has to offer us. 😐
The photos you'll see here are photos that I took over two of our visits to Lao Er. Some of the photos were taken two weeks ago and some were taken just two days ago when we went there with my parents and brother. The photos can almost do all the talking. Overall, food is great and if you're a porridge lover and a fan of Teochew food, this is the place to go to. You can skip the preserved and salty stuff. Lao Er has freshly cooked dishes that are kinder to your kidneys 😁
Teochew style steamed white promfret fish and steamed herbal Kampung chicken:
Love the salted egg porridge with pork:
Sweet potato porridge, white rice, multigrain porridge, white porridge - just take your pick to go with the appetizing dishes:
Five grain porridge. You can purchase this healthy uncooked five grains from the restaurant to cook rice or porridge at home.
Steamed Kembong fish (surprisingly not salty at all, iLike!), 'Patt Po' aka Braised Eight Treasure duck, stir-fried French beans and fried salted turnip with fried peanuts (this is very salty):
Stew platter, which is composed of tofu, eggs, pig ears and intestines (no no for me!) and pork belly:
Steamed Kembong fish, fried anchovies with peanuts and salted eggs:
Teochew kuay chap, which is kuay teow in a very flavorful broth. Very delish.
Radish omelette:
Sweet and sour Teochew braised Halibut fish:
An assortment of Teochew sweet and savoury desserts:
The black sesame paste filled Tang Yuan tong sui was excellent and hubs had to order another bowl when the girls walloped the single bowl that he ordered earlier.
We bought a pack of two frozen Teochew dumplings home and they were yummo ~ sweet and salty with the usual pork, salted egg, chestnut and sweetened red bean paste.
Some of the Teochew delicacies are available in frozen vacuum pack. You'll get a RM5 cash rebate on the frozen stuff when you spend RM120 and above in a single receipt.
Lao Er is an excellent place to savor authentic Teochew food in a clean and air conditioned environment with fair price. The foreign waiting staff are fluent in Mandarin and service is very good.
