When you mean porridge, it's savoury, right? What's usually in the Indo porridge? I'm familiar with congee, and love it, but I don't think I've ever had it Indo style?
To me, Indonesian style feels really close to congee, except the rice is cooked plain. The real difference is the condiments and sauces, which vary by region. In my area, for example, a lot of places serve it with a turmeric chicken broth poured on top.
Now that sounds delicious! Thanks for informing me - I'll seek it out next time I'm in indo! Is the rice still 'broken' and kinda mushy like congee rice?
If you're in Bali, try to find Bubur Ayam but make sure the one who sell is local and not in a cafe/fancy restaurants 😄
It has different broth and just as @gibic mentioned, it has turmeric and some other spices that create more aromatic and savory flavor. Whereas Chinese styled congee's flavor is typically from the chicken broth itself and less aromatic. I am not fan of spices maybe that's why I always like this type of congee rather than Indo style 😅
