Every people have their own me time to cope with their life. Some people choose to have it in the weekend after their work. However, I believe every day we should have our me time for our own sake.

As a mother of two and a freelancer, I need a me time every day. Sometimes I work out, walking around, or just have an alone silent breakfast. I need to have a time for myself. One of the places I have to go for breakfast is Bubur Ayam (chicken porridge) Bang Rossi. I usually go there after taking my children to school.

The location is perfect since, it is near my house and my children’s school. It is located at Jl. Dharmawangsa No. 81 A Surabaya. However, they have two other branches at West Surabaya.

I always order full topping of chicken porridge with chicken egg. It is full enough to start my day.

Actually, it is not easy to find delicious chicken porridge at Surabaya because it is not common breakfast for Surabaya people. It is different in around Jakarta area.  We will find many chicken porridge sellers on the streets or restaurants.

I think I like to take chicken porridge as a breakfast after live in Jakarta and West Java for a decade. Chicken porridge consists of rice porridge with various topping, like shredded chicken, fried soybeans or peanuts, celery slices, fried shallots, cakue (Chinese cruller), kerupuk (crackers). You can choose the topping if you do not like it. The seller will customize as you want.

In Bubur Ayam Bang Rosi, you also can add more toppings, like boiled chicken egg, quail eggs satay, chicken liver and gizzard satay, chicken intestine satay, or melinjo crackers.

Actually, the porridge itself was already good. Thick and enough tasty from coconut milk. They use chicken broth like in soto.

Some people associate porridge as hospital food because ill people tend to eat soft food. Chicken porridge is one of the options. However, if the porridge is delicious, I don’t mind to eat it every day.

Even, it is open all day, I like to go there in the morning. I will take my breakfast alone in silent. So peaceful to start my day. It becomes my me time in the morning.
