I love porridge. By that i do not mean any kind of rice thrown into water. Because fish porridge in Singapore usually turns out to be rice in fish soup. That i do not fancy.

Century Egg is a very odd dish. Firstly, it isn't even a 100 years old, it's just aged in chemistry. And if you ever looked at a whole 100yo Egg before, there seems to be a network of feather-like structures embedded in the whites. Doesn't matter, they just taste good. Though their taste is really unique, smells pleasantly bad and fermented.

My mom had a weird teaching about porridge. Every time i went to the hawker one of my choices would be Porridge. But she would tell me it's not filling for the stomach and it digest fast, hence cannot be considered as a proper meal for lunch or dinner. Den, i am pretty much never awake earlier enough for breakfast, or staring at the computer through the night and forgetting about supper to have much chance to eat it. I'm glad i realised that was a ridiculous school of thought.

Porridge makes me feel, uncle-ish. Older. Furthermore, i feel that it should be combined with a cup of hot Teh-O (Black Tea). I thought i could eat fast-food my whole life and never get sick of it, now when i look at MacDonalds, it just doesn't seem as appealing as before.

Gotta learn how to cook this. It's gonna be my staple food there. White plain porridge, den additional side dish from the local market. And what is popular in Aberdeen? Apparently their speciality is good fresh seafood (wild salmon and mussels) and beef.
