Friend (12) – 3P Porridge / 朋友（12）- 3P 粥

Posted on Updated on


能够暂时离开繁嚣,找个安静的角落,来一碗清淡小粥,享受恬静淡雅的一刻，人生何求！
Able to leave the hustle and bustle aside, find a quiet corner, have a bowl of light porridge and enjoy the quiet and elegant moment, what else do we ask for in life.
这是一碗3P小粥；平安，平淡，平凡的粥。
This bowl of 3P porridge; peaceful, plain and pleasant.
一碗毫不起眼的粥，没有名气的架式，没有奢华的点缀，没有高档的环境，没有美食家的评语。一副苍白虚弱的样子，默默摆在我面前，就为了填饱我们的肚子。
A bowl of humble porridge, not known in the rack, there is no luxury embellishment, upscale environment, no gourmet reviews.  With a look pale and weak, quietly placed in front of me, just to fill up my stomach.
尽管它没什么分量，但他还是紧守岗位，作为一位“护胃者”。
Although it has no load, but he still stick to his position as a tummy guardian.
这种3P无声无息摆在眼前，用天平称不到，长在额头的眼睛看不到，更别说走进时尚的高档品味。
This 3P sits quietly before us, can’t weigh it with a set of scale, catch no sight with our eyes, let alone into the upper crust.
所谓各花入各眼，这3P是一种福气，有异于一般。
As Beauty is in the Eyes of the Beholder, this 3P is a blessing, as it is different from the others.

    Sydney, it looks soothing- what we in the US would call “comfort food.” What is it made of? Is it a Singaporean dish?

      Hi Cathy, it is indeed a vegetarian ‘comfort food” offered free by a local temple here. I won’t regard it as a Singaporean dish as the ingredients are easily accessible everywhere…various mushrooms, gingko nuts, peanuts, broad beans, red beans and tofu. Try it, it’s yummy and healthy!Thanks for sharing the post with me !

    The poetic words written about your food is almost as soperific as the dish itself. Simple and pleasing. Both soul nourishing. Beautiful.

    Most people think ancient Romans ate quite lavishly. Except for the very rich, corn meal porridge(polenta) was the dietary staple.

    I eat porridge for breakfast. It’s not as special as yours, mine is just plain oats, but the 3Ps still apply. I’ll enjoy my breakfast even more today 🙂
