Sekinchan Shark Porridge

Sekinchan is a pocket-sized town on the northern coastal area inward Selangor. It's major industry is fishing as well as rice planting.

This small town has a lot of seafood restaurants (compared to its size together with population) as well as one of the pop treats in this town is shark porridge. Found cooked in 2 ways:- original and spicy. I chose to replicate the original version as I have kids at abode.

Shark, seems scary. It seems savage to consume. Yes, shark fin is vicious due to the manner they are harvested in addition to how they waste matter the the shark away. But eating shark isn't wasting anything away. It is not prohibited to live consumed in my land. Shark really gustation similar tender chicken. Quite delicious.

Sekinchan'second Shark Porridge is cooked the Teochew way, every bit inward... rice however inward granule form, rather than all mushed upwardly. It has very basic flavours with null too much to exit up the gustation of the porridge. It is rather soupy but will dry upwardly more than equally the rice absorbs more of the broth. It is ordinarily served inward the pot that it is boiled inwards, nonetheless boiling when it arrives at the table.

If yous honey simple flavours, you lot volition bask this. If you prefer robust flavours.. hmmm.... yous determine for yourself.
