Bee Koh Moy (variously spelled as Bee Koh Mooi, Bee Koh Moi, Bee Ko Moi, etc.) is a black glutinous rice porridge served with a spoonful of coconut milk. Also called Pulut Hitam in Malay, Bee Koh Moy is a Nyonya dessert usually taken during tea time. Some people add gengeng kua (dried longans) and red dates to the pot although puritans prefer Bee Koh Moy without them. The addition of pandan leaves gives Bee Koh Moy a refreshing aroma.
Today there are only a few stalls selling Bee Koh Moy in Penang. You can usually get it alongside other Nyonya sweet broths such as Gandum (sweet wheat porridge), Ang Tau Thng (red bean porridge), Lek Tau Thng (green bean porridge, bubur kacang) and Sago.
