Batu

Some people are crazy to go all the way to Batu Caves for breakfast at 7am... Like me. And YZ.

About 1-2 months back, i sprang up at 6am, early bird style, and i got on MSN and saw that YZ was awake too. So we decided to grab breakfast, which became a problem.

Ask us where to have supper past midnight, we have a decent list. But breakfast at 6am... Bleargh.

Quick internet search brought us to... Pan Heong, quite famous in the blogosphere for their excellent food and generous servings and.... cheap prices. There's no "reasonable" about it. It's just cheap. Quality, quantity and price. The whole trifecta. Keeps customers flocking in.

YZ's crazy over cantonese fried. But i'm not a fan. Has this slimy texture that feels like eating mucus.. Creeps me out. But hey, the one at Pan Heong is excellent mucus... Apparently, one of the best. The gravy was extremely thick and rich and they weren't chintzy with the seasonings, or with the ingredients.

I had a hankering for porridge so i chose the porridge with fish slices and century egg + side of yow zhar guai.

Light, smooth, slightly creamy, and packed with slices of melt-in-your-mouth fish slices. Perfect for breakfast, i would say. And the portion was huge, enough for two persons.

One of their signature dishes was this fascinating claypot porridge, but i backed off real quick when i realized that it had frog legs inside. Frog legs... Damn i've seen them slaughtering them at the pasar malam, and man it ain't right.

Are frogs even livestock? More like wild game, right anot?

Next! The highlight of my morning. Deep fried nam yu pork. Lean, with just the right amount of fat. Absolutely delicious. And sinful. Looks divine, doesn't it?

Total damage. V. worth the price, seriously. It is no wonder they are packed all the time.
