We heard a lot about choi pan or Hakka style dumplings of Singkawang operating at Rumah Marga Tjhia. The West Kalimantan town of Singkawang has a Hakka & Teochew Chinese population along with Malay and Dayak (mostly Salako). 

Singkawang is known as land of Tidayu or Tionghua, Dayak and Malayu. It is also known as Cidayu (Cina, Dayak, Malayu). With around 60% Chinese population, Singkawang is also referred to as the Hong Kong of Kalimantan. Singkawang's chap goh mei (last day of Chinese New Year) celebrations is legendary (but that's another story for future).

Our local guide Min brought us to a simple restaurant known as Bakmi Aloi Singkawang. I enjoyed the bakmi aloi here a lot.

Bubur Mendi Pork Porridge in Singkawang West Kalimantan Indonesia

Our guide Min brought us to Bubur Mendi - I thought we were just going to get some nice rice gruel but this porridge has an interesting, unique twist I soon realised.

It's a type of bubur babi or pork porridge.
