Wah... such a
compliment! 
It was delicious. 
And it was whipped up
fast too! 
And no lah... no
name for the dish. It was an arbitrary thang.
The preserved cai sim you're talking about is something I love too!
I would buy it to go with porridge but will sneak back to the
fridge and just eat it right out of the bottle too! (They have
canned and bottled versions, I think!)
Actually, I think I like a lot of the saltish, preserved stuff that
usually goes with teochew porridge. In porridge buffets, there'll
usually be a spread of these items and I'll always take a little
bit of salted egg (don't usually like them but reminds me of
childhood and ah ma! ), one or two of those
preserved, salted black beans just for the sake of it, kiam chai,
chair por, ikan bilis, etc.
I love love love fried ikan bilis with sugar! Lovely, but an
absolute diabetic nightmare!
