sweet-sweet hughug club
Inspired by Cynthia’s Winter Warmer Porridge, I couldn’t resist but to make a whole big potful of fish porridge for myself! A fillet of perch, a fillet of hoki, some thinly sliced ginger, sesame seed oil, spring onion and coriander to garnish, and salt and pepper to taste, I had myself two really big bowlfuls of porridge. Yum! Totally warmed me up. Of course, I overdid it again and cooked enough to feed myself for 3 to 4 days, ha-ha! Bring your bowls, come come… One scoop? or two?
And in the sweet, sweet world…
There has been a surge of sweet posts all over Blogland in answer to last week’s Photo Hunters’ theme of Sweet — Chen, eastcoastlife, and even an inspired one from angel — that I want to do my own sugary entry, too!
Behold, my baker’s dozen of banana muffins, made following my favourite muffin recipe I used some time ago. Never fails to yield scrumptious, mouth-watering bites each time!
I want to dedicate my sweet side of today’s post to T H E H U G H U G C L U B ™ Chuppers for the month of June. Hip-hip-hooray to the podium chuppers!

Hi blog frenz May
Your yummy fish porridge reminds me of the great HK dim sum. Every sun we the msian group will go makan dim sum. The selction is so delicate n fine n so yummy. the chinese restaurant like so posh. Never find this type of dim sum in spore not up to std.
I want to continue with my single Indiana Jones story in NZ. one day when drivng along bridge which link city centre Auckland to the North. Abt 8 or more lanes then got lcd display on top. My guy fren took me once in his car then next time I go myself. a bit Sua ku never look at the lite on top. happily i was cruising fast down this highway bridge then i notice something funny why got car coming down while i am driving up. Yuks !! faster change lane or get smashed to pancake. I mean msia where got this type of lights.
The moral of the story is the lanes are not fixed. sometime you can drive up other time you drive down to the city. It depends on the display on top.
i also get ‘coned’ when buy car from the car mart in a big car park. A woman seat in the car and when her hubby deliver the car i see he is wearing workman overalls like a mechanic. shit later i find he takes out some of my car parts. Also the stupid car leaks at the back and if you look at the carpet underneath all wet. My silly mechanic fren ask him to check he says ok. Now i know can only trust myself lah.
such a coincidence..Yesterday, i was rather unwell and all i craved was porridge.
“do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man…”
I’m not in the list. *sad*
Do I still get a muffin? *makes Puss In Boots face*
errr… you made me wanna cook century porridge this weekend!
I want 3 full scoops of your yummy fish porridge can? Would luv a muffin too but better save them for the hughug chuppers then. hehehe
You are tempting me too much
Not really a fan of porridge but then again it looks so nice I must that a spoonful of it and another and another
How much can I tarpow? YUM.
the porridge looked so delicious!!!
i’ve got a huge bowl here May.. ~!!
the more scoops the better of course..
and those killer shots of the muffins..
ohmygoodness….
eastcoastlife - raid, raid, RAID! I do that too, when I’m peckish. though I raid my shelves more for junk food, I’m such a fan for crisps. help yourself to the recipe and let me know what you think!
ben - next time you must get 10 points, then I bake you 10 muffins, ya?
Will - 3 large scoops of porridge, coming up! you got bring tupperware to tapau extra or not? yea, the original Baker’s Dozen = 13, but my version of Baker’s Dozen is the proper 12 lah. why they wanna confuse us all by adding 1 more leh?
Chen - ahhhh, see? you’re the smart one! bring bowl AND tupperware to tapau, hahaha! does Ah Boy want some too? sorry no paikuat, but fish is good for him, makes his coat shiny with all that omega 3.
winn - come come, I HUG HUG you!… * H U G * and at least I didn’t take your teddy bear… *grin*
Kikare - that’s for next week! the supermarket I went to didn’t have fresh-looking leeks and there were only a few left (I went kinda late, my bad). must get up earlier to go grocery shopping instead of lazying around, upgrading WordPress for my blog… lol!
zewt - yeah, man!! two 3-HUG chups, and you’re in the top three positions! also ‘cos I post less now and it’s easier to top the charts with just a couple of good scores. well done!
princess appearl - Hug Hug Sweet Sweet! where’s your oven? faster buy and try out this recipe. won’t fail to impress! ok lah, you can use the oven in my KL house for now, heheh! chee chap chuk? chuk chuk chup chup!
surfer boy - perch fish, hoki fish. not sek parn, unfortunately. do those make good chuk, ah? got put mah yau and a wee bit of pak yau, of course. come come, I feed you…
* O P E N W I D E *
cynthia - and it’s only the 2nd day of July! a good 2 more months of wintery weather to go. if it stays around this temperature, I’m ok with it. any colder and I’ll have to wear my coat even at home, lol! the double-choc cup cakes sound wicked. trade you some?
Wennnn - two big big scoops for you, and extra two for you to help you make BB! *wink*
ubisetela - yes, you must! one of the easiest comfort food you could ever make. remember to soak the rice before boiling, so it’ll break, cook and thicken more easily. yum!
ehon - like a^ben, 1 point 1 muffin… hahaha! ok lah, you can have 1 more. no blues this monday, but got lots of brown-brown tei muffins! enjoy your week, ya?
Pinkelle - big big sweet sweet congratulations to you on getting into the THHC™ charts! nah, that’s not shameless. I’ve had 2 muffins this morning for breakfast and I feel like a third now for dessert. now, that is shameless gluttony! LOL!
ah nel - eh, what is karninia? kaya? kurrant? I’m pretty sure it’s banana ‘cos inside still gooey like mashed banana…
ParisB - it means you got 3 points for your 2nd place chup in one of my posts! that’s how you got that 03 next to your name. and you share the 11th position together with 2 other chuppers. no more sotong?
zara’s mama - I seriously wouldn’t mind that! I miss having lots of people in the same household to help finish off my baking and cooking. it also means I won’t have to eat the same thing for too many days in a row! some muffins for your girls?
Yvy - make, make! your Kecik would love you for it too. warms up your tum just nice, yea?
can Mish have one muffin too?
*curi mish’s muffin *
kaypoh jie jie - yup yup, porridge is one of the essentials in dimsum! somehow, no matter how full we are, we have to have a small bowl of porridge to go with it.
that bridge in Auckland sounds exactly like how it is here! traffic flow control. more lanes go into the city during peak morning hours, more lanes out of the city in the evening peaks, and then back to normal other times. I would’ve been confused and scared myself too, if I saw and on-coming car heading my way!
my uncle was just commenting a few weeks ago that never, ever trust a used-car salesman. sure kena con like mad! unless you know them personally lah, then should be ok kwa… trust yourself, that’s the best!
jo - porridge is the perfect comfort food especially when you’re unwell, isn’t it? I love how it just warms me up from inside out! hope you’re feeling better today.
rinnah - hahahaha, that so reminds me of Shrek 2!! the one where Shrek asked the gingerbread man if he still knew the Muffin Man, who lived in Drury Lane!
awwww, you don’t have to be on the list to have a muffin! have as many as you like. leave some crumbs for me, ya?
Hijackqueen - oooh, I love century egg porridge! I didn’t used to like eating those eggs when I was younger, but tastes change when we get older and now I quite enjoy the unique taste. the yolk especially!
doreen - just 3? I could give you double that! I have so much left that I didn’t scoop it out into a bowl, I just put the whole pot in the fridge, LOL! *sneaks you a muffin too*
zeroimpact - I wouldn’t ordinarily order or cook porridge either, but after Cynthia’s post, I just craved for some. same for you too, huh?
Giddy Tiger - the whole pot, if you could! hahaha! well ok, save half for me so I won’t have to think about tomorrow night’s dinner!
Leonard - thank you! I think the garnishing makes it look quite presentable, hor?
yen chiew - bring two of that bowls if you can! and tupperware to tapau. I’ll throw in a muffin for dessert, how ’bout that?
misha - of course you can! would you like some ice cream to go with that too?
winn - wakakakakaka! little girl’s muffin also you wanna curi?! share-share lah, ya? I share-share my Kiki wif you also…
may jiejie .. if with ice cream tastes nice? me must ask mummy to bake muffins SOOON!!!!!
Two scoops for me!!! And one banana muffin too! Why the mask. So I don’t get busted. haha Not supposed to eat this right now.
Congratz to all of huggie peoples!
Much better now
But i still crave for porridge though..
The muffin make me feel hungry!
Don’t think it is wise to keep porridge overnight or for so many days…..”windy” they say?
You must have given away some muffins huh? and scored some brownie points in return?
thot i commented. porridge keep long ‘windy’ or not?
*line up with bowl*
Wahhhh, me on the chart oso kah. I’m so getting there, lol
The porridge looks so inviting… holds out the bowl.. “More .. please?”
can i order a dozen of the muffins, please.

I want the muffin!!
jaeb0t no likes spring onions
misha - I see you’ve made really really yummy-looking cupcakes last week! you’re becoming such a good cook. I should take lessons from you, especially in sushi making!
SA - what mask? you can’t really eat with a mask on unless you have a special opening at the mouth… LOL! go on, I’m sure the missus won’t mind you having a bite of these muffins. all natural ingredients, no artificial additives. good for health!
jo - ahhh, I hope you’ve had your share of porridge by now to settle those cravings. 100% yet?
~TheAngel~ - I know how that feels. photos of food usually get my mouth watering and tummy rumbling!
just me - oooh, really? even if cooked with ginger slices? I didn’t keep it for too long anyway. I finished all the fish inside and there was only starchy porridge left, LOL! threw the rest away. I wonder if I could give away brownies next time and score… errr… muffin points?
misti - don’t know, I sapu everything before I noticed my windy tummy! and threw away the leftovers which didn’t have anymore fish in it.
Samm - yes you are getting there at the top! did pretty well at L B’s too, hor? good on ya!
Bernard - kakakakaka! that is so Oliver! hmmm, makes me wanna download and watch just that scene. “Please sir… I want more…”
nyonyapenang - one fresh tray for you, coming up! luckily I bought fresh bananas yesterday… *grin*
misti - good morning, moo! no more porridge or muffins already, since I’m so late in replying these comments. ahhh, but got tungku lapcheong kai fann, want some?
misha - good morning again to you, my sweetheart! how’s your Sunday looking so far?
eve - if I could pack the porridge into little balls like those chicken rice balls, then I can give you 2 “ketul”. betul tak?
Giddy Tiger - yup, though I wouldn’t have it every day lah. I miss my Mom’s hamm tann pei tann sau yuk chuk!
helen - I’d better take away that STOP sign then, and put out a bowl for you! hahaha!
zewt - sorry my dear, I’ll have to refuse you on that, if you don’t mind. a rather private post which I’m not ready to share out to the public. no hard feelings, yea?
misha - you’re a little young to read all my woes and troubles, sweetie! one day when you grow up, I’ll tell you my secrets, ya?
_butt - good choice! better than the password… lol!
jaeb0t - you like coriander? I could still make some without all the greens, just for you!
getting hitched does not guaranteed happiness.
Happiness is having so many frens who care for you like you DO.I tink U so lucky.
Loneliness is having no one to share any activity with. The people around you just do their own stuff. So we must find
our own true fren and then we can attain true happiness.
