Bubur Manado (Manadonese Porridge)

In Indonesia, we have two kinds of porridge dishes; sweet and savoury. Sweet kinds are usually eaten for dessert (clikc here and here for examples) and savoury kinds are usually eaten for meal or in between meal snack. This one is the example from the savoury kinds. But I didn’t make the complete one with all the she-bang. I made just with what I had in hand but nevertheless I shared the full recipe in case you are inspired to make a complete dish 😀
