Another eating expedition to Penang, the Cantonese-style pig's intestines porridge. I was told that the stall has been operating there since the 1950s, and the current operators are the third-generation.
The white, smooth rice porridge was very flavourful by itself - but it comes chockful of delicious slivers of pig's intestines (both boiled & also crisp-barbecued varieties), pig's liver, pig's stomach, thinly-sliced "char siew" (barbecued pork), a sprinkling of chopped green spring onions, finely-julienned ginger, and a generous dusting of white pepper.
The result - an extraordinarily delicious pig's intestines porridge. We have such porridge in Singapore, but I've not tasted any which comes close to the Penang version. A definite 10 out of 10 in terms of taste!! Now I know why the stall's been there for more than 50 years.
