Although technically, it cannot really be considered as the healthiest thing. Especially not when the dishes picked include braised sesame oil chicken, “giam chye buay” (stewed preserved mustard greens) and “chai por nng” (fried egg with preserved radish).
I guess it is the simplicity of the hot, plain porridge (sometimes with sweet potato making a cameo) that has always given me the impression I am eating clean and light, and therefore, healthy.
Oh, the lies we tell ourselves 😂😂
