We've passed by Ye Lai Xiang Teochew Porridge (116 Bukit Merah View, #01-217) on some occasions but have never encountered a queue as long as this time round when we intended to get some. This was the same coffee shop that houses 吉隆坡正記葉子楣手工包點 and Sheng Ji Fishball Noodle.

Ordered a bunch of dishes that could conceivably be considered favourites amongst the commonly seen offerings from Teochew porridge stalls.

That's fried pork belly that's been marinated with fermented red bean curd (南乳). Not freshly fried by the time we got our portions but the flavour's not bad. I can imagine how much better they might be if we had gotten a fresh batch.

This was chap chye with red fermented bean curd. The stewing liquid has a pink hue which was probably not so obvious in the photo. For the record, that fermented bean curd flavour was there but not in your face.

We love us some hairy gourd (节瓜) with tang hoon sometimes.

Nice salty minced pork with fermented black beans. Rice thieves!

Stewed tau kee (dried beancurd sheets). These aren't the better ones around but it got the job done.

Otah's decent. Would love for them to pack more heat but I'm not complaining.
