I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. It's been awhile since I've featured one of my favourite Chinese comfort foods, congee or also known as rice porridge.

If you visit Malaysia, street food is definitely something that should not be missed. There is just nothing like Malaysian street food in Malaysia - it just does not taste the same overseas, well at least not to me. I hope you enjoy looking at the photos and I also hope to give you a better idea of how Malaysian street food looks like which will perhaps whet your appetities :O.
