All my life, I've had a weird obsession with eating porridge. Chinese porridge is my favourite and my Mom makes the best porridge ever!
However because she doesn't really cook anymore, I have to resort to searching the city for good restaurants.
Recently I bumped into a lovely little place called I Love Yoo! It's a franchise chain of outlets which sells my favourite mix of porridge, yau char kwai (You Tiao) and Tau Foo Far!
It's also located at 8 different locations and the prices are cheap!
RM 3.90 for a delicious bowl of piping hot porridge and a large piece of yummy You Tiao. Is that a steal or what?
The newest outlet is located at the Lower Ground Floor, LG-36 right opposite Cold Storage
You can find out more about them at their website http://iloveyoo.com.my
