Indonesian Rice Porridge as My Morning Breakfast

I used to love to consume Indonesian rice porridge before school in the morning. It was my simple breakfast which was simply got in the early morning. In my village, Indonesian rice porridge is well known as marrow porridge (bubur sumsum). Till today, it is one of my favorite food which is delicious, healthy, and cheap. 

Indonesian Rice Porridge as My Morning Breakfast

It was about 1997 and I was 7 years old, I loved to hang out after school and often meet the woman seeling bubur serabi, that was kind of marrow porridge with pancakes as serabi on it.  

The woman was walking by carrying a basket on his back. Porridge, small pancakes or serabi and kinca as syrup were in her basket. It was only cost 100 rupias per small portion.

It continued when I was in junior high school and my step brother was in elementary school. I couldn't cook for our breakfast before school. I found that there was sombody who was selling marrow porridge in early morning. She was the old woman who stayed near by my village and still closed to my family. 

I bought 2 marrow porridges and 2 tempe bacem. My step brother who loved to buy outside and love to wait him for coming back bringing my order. 

It was really cheap with the cost 2,000 rupias per portion at that time. Besides, it is kind of healthy and delicious food. 

Today, I try to make Indonesian rice porridge by myself. I plan to make it as one of my cafe menu later. Here is how I make my own marrow porridge;
