For as long as I can remember, our family (Muslim parents included) have been frequenting this coffee shop restaurant in Imbi called OK Restaurant. It is directly opposite Imbi Palace. We were such regulars and they knew us well. After all, Tok-Tok is a tall, distinguished gentleman and Nana is as exotic as customers come – very different from the fair Chinese prostitutes often sighted in the surroundings. However, in recent years, the owner had passed away and the restaurant got inherited by his sons and their wives, who are now running the restaurant in a much more high-tech manner!
Here’s what we usually have:
Famous steamed chicken
.
Some green vegetable or other. That time it was Siew Pak Choy.
.
An Omellette
.
Deep fried fish.
.
And all that with white porridge. There is sesame oil, yau char kuay, spring onions, soya sauce, ginger sauce, garlic sauce and lots of side condiments at your disposal to complete a satisfying porridge meal. The Hubs is not usually a porridge person yet funnily enough, it was the first meal he cooked for me that impressed me when we were on our 2nd date. He never eats porridge. It’s just not his thing. He doesn’t even like rice. A true New Yorker. But this porridge at OK Restaurant? He is always happy to go there.

How come they serve porridge in what looks like a flower pot? The porridge looks really smooth though.
we often have dishes like this when we dine out at traditional apek restaurant. I like the look of that steam white chicken. do they have rice as an option? is parking easy at this restaurant?
