Hon Kee. Famous Porridge since 1959.

This is the 2nd of 3 'June' expeditions... it's not often that we get the chance to visit Petaling Street (KL's very own Chinatown), simply because of the distance from our workplace.

But when you keep it to a small group of 2 or 3 the most in one car, you can go straight downtown, park at the old Rex cinema, walk quickly over to Hon Kee, a really tiny shop hidden behind fake apparel stalls along the starting point of Petaling Street on the left...

Catch a glimpse of how the inside of Hon Kee looks like. Make your orders quickly...

Walk across the road, go behind the famous Air Mata Kucing (Longan drink) stall...

And onto the blocked-out sidewalk next to the Hong Leong bank...

Wait a bit for the steaming hot bowl of Mixed Pork Porridge to arrive...

Mix in the additional order of Sang Yee (raw fish slices) into the hot bowl... and chomp it down nice and easy, before you pay up.

Then walk out onto the bustling Petaling Street again to hunt for Uncle Lau Tak Wah (a name that's strikingly similar to the Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau)...

Get the Chinese-style Apom Balik (rice flour pancake) with coconut centre for a perfect end to a glorious one2two.

And head on back to work. All within a little over an hour.
