Hao Zhou Dao 好粥到 is a newly opened Porridge-specialist in Elit Avenue, offering a Chinese Porridge-focused menu. The signage mentions 'Fried Porridge' but pretty much a misnomer, nothing seems relevant to that. The menu features Porridge options with 6 different toppings as well as some side dishes. Items are reasonably priced with a portion of Porridge goes as low as RM8.90 per pax.
Trio Egg Porridge (Rm 17.90/ medium)
Original Fried Porridge (Rm 13.90/ medium)
Original Crispy Golden Dumplings (Rm 11)
Chinese Crullers (Rm 2)
Winter Melon with Barley (Rm 3.80)
Longan Drink (Rm 3.80)
We had both the Signature Fried Porridge and Trio Egg Porridge; both were served in a huge portion. The medium-portion seems to serve 2-3 pax well. The Fried Porridge was a disappointment- not the type of Fried Porridge that I was expecting (was hoping for something like Serdang Fried Porridge or along the line). It was merely ordinary Porridge with minced Pork and Pork Meat Balls, served in Claypot. Some parts of the Porridge were clumpy. The Trio Egg Porridge was slightly under seasoned. We had to top up with Soy Sauce but we did not find it necessary for the Original one. We topped up a little for the Fried Crullers and Golden Dumplings; the latter one was merely deep fried Dumplings. Can't say the quality was poor but merely a mismatch in expectation. More like having ordinary Porridge that you can find elsewhere in a restaurant setting.
