[PENANG] 粥记 Chok Kee Porridge Cafe @ Lebuh Cintra

For decades, the legendary Pork Intestine Porridge stall at Kimberly Street has been a cherished spot for locals and tourists alike. Known for its rich, flavorful bowls of congee, this humble street-side eatery has earned a dedicated following. Recently, the stall has relocated to Cintra Street, bringing its comforting dishes to a new home while maintaining the same authenticity and taste that made it a household name.

A Bowl of Nostalgia: Pork Intestine Porridge

A signature dish at this stall, the Pork Intestine Porridge is a hearty bowl of silky-smooth congee topped with well-cleaned and expertly prepared pork intestines. The intestines are cooked to tender perfection, adding a chewy yet satisfying texture to each bite. The broth itself carries deep umami flavors, enhanced with scallions, fried shallots, and a dash of white pepper. Each spoonful is warm, comforting, and packed with tradition.

Homemade Chrysanthemum Tea: The Perfect Pairing

No meal here is complete without a refreshing glass of homemade chrysanthemum tea. This fragrant herbal drink perfectly balances the richness of the porridge with its floral and mildly sweet notes. It’s a great way to cleanse the palate and round off a satisfying meal.

Apart from Pork Intestine Porridge, there are two more options available which are 艇仔粥 Peanut Porridge or 皮蛋粥 Century Egg Porridge, both are also locals' favourite as they only offer these options. 

The Move to Cintra Street: What to Expect

The transition from Kimberly Street to Cintra Street marks a new chapter for this beloved porridge stall. While the location may have changed, the essence of their dishes remains untouched. Fans of their porridge can still expect the same high-quality ingredients, traditional cooking methods, and heartwarming flavors.

For those who have yet to try this famous Penang delicacy, now is the perfect time to visit their new spot at Cintra Street and experience a bowl of comforting, time-honored congee that has stood the test of time.
