4/6/2010 - Hubby drove Esther's new Forte and headed to Kota Kemuning to pick up Khoo. We went to Restoran Bubur Goreng in Berkeley, Klang for a munch. I guess it is supposed to be supper rather than dinner as when we reached there, it was already 9pm. Khoo called the 'Ah Pek' to make sure our seafood is still being reserved. The speciality of the food here is of course, the transexual crab or most popular known in local jargon as
'pondan' crab. There was not many people who at the restaurant when we arrived. Well, it was way past dinner time. However, we found that Klang-nites likes heavy supper when 30 minutes later, they swarmed the restaurant. Check out what we had ordered...
Famous Bubur Goreng - Porridge With Strips of Dried Cuttlefish, Pieces of Fried Fatty Pork, Spring Onions, Dried Shrimps & The Brownish Color (looks like marmite but tasted even better!)
Steamed Mantis Prawn (Lai Liu Har) In Egg With Fried Shallots
Clams Cooked With Chinese Wine + Ginger + Cili Padi In Broth
Crab Quote: "Once you go pondan, you will never opt for the straights again..."
Aftermath...(note, we ordered stir-fry vermicelli. Disappointed, it was tasteless)

I am not sure if others have had the same experience but decided to try this Restaurant Bubur Goreng place with my parents today after reading a few blogs on this place as I was intrigued..
The Fried Porridge was interesting and unique, definitely a must-try at least once in your life.. Tasty, but cant eat too much of it.. The crab beehoon was not too bad either..
HOWEVER, someone needs to tell these guys that the internet can bring people to their shop, and the internet can also bring people away... The way they serve and charged was HORRIBLE!! Maybe since it's because we were first timers...
I went there with my mom and dad.. Just 3 of us.. We ordered one fried porridge, one crab beehoon and one plate of stir-fry vege... Logic dictates in any restaurant/food place we go that they would adjust the size of the servings based on the number of people..
Instead, they served us a huge bowl of porridge that could dish out at least 8 servings (of big personal bowls).. then a huge plate of crab beehoon, and a huge plate of vege that you would normally see on a table of 6 to 10 people...
For the Crab Beehoon, we could see the bodies of 3 crabs in it, but there were parts missing - the claws were mainly absent and we could only barely make out 3 claws instead of full 6 claws... and we were charged RM56.00 for it... The porridge and vege were charged at RM12.00 each..
Including the tea, the bill came up to RM83.00 which totally shocked my socks off... The girl who took our order did not even dare to come to give us the bill (eventhough she was the one I asked for the bill), instead asked one of her Indonesian/Myanmarese waitresses to bring the bill..
Definitely NOT RECOMMENDING RESTAURANT BUBUR GORENG in BERKELEY KLANG to anyone!!
Did you have a similar experience?
