The OG. Still good. Small gripe is the very raw veg.

Stumbled upon 古早人台灣粥 for dinner and was pleasantly surprised—not just by the soothing porridge, but by their wide selection of hearty, home-style Zi Char dishes. It felt like walking into a cozy, old-fashioned kitchen where every plate was cooked with genuine care.

The Taiwanese sweet potato porridge was smooth, subtly sweet, and deeply comforting—a perfect companion to the array of flavorful dishes.
The 梅菜扣肉 was succulent and rich, with the preserved vegetables adding a beautiful depth of umami that complemented each spoonful of porridge.
The 鮮蠔煎蛋 was aromatic and pillowy, with juicy oysters lending a delicate oceanic sweetness in every bite.
The 鹹魚蒸肉碎 was a nostalgic favorite—tender minced pork infused with the bold, savory fragrance of salted fish, hearty yet harmoniously balanced.
The 炸南乳肉 was simply irresistible—crunchy outside, tender inside, with that unmistakable fermented red beancurd savor.

It was a meal that felt both familiar and comforting—traditional flavors done with sincerity and finesse. I left satisfied, warmed, and already planning my next visit. A must-try for anyone craving authentic, soul-nourishing Taiwanese-style comfort food with a Zi Char twist.

The 鹹魚蒸肉碎 was a classic comfort—juicy minced pork lifted by the punchy aroma of salted fish, intensely satisfying yet well-balanced. The 炸南乳肉: crisp on the outside, juicy within, with that addictive fermented red beancurd flavor that kept me reaching for more.

Good standard as before, but Liji doesn't do their incredibly cheongfun anymore

Beef is fine, omelette and curry were good too, and veggie was quite flavourful

Only problem is the price, beef is V expensive for the portion

Salmon quality is not top tier, also the skin is under grilled.

Still ok

Everything else above average except the shredded pickles

Fish was not bad, some parts of the skin were burnt. Saikyomiso had a bit of the funky taste

A pretty decent fish and set that is as good as you're GG to get in Singapore for this particular dish at this price

Ps no mushroom today, but I heard that's good too

Stumbled upon this cosy spot in Kembangan and was pleasantly surprised by how comforting the food was. The homemade barley drink hit all the right nostalgic notes, reminding me of classic coffee shop vibes. The Sze Chuan Chicken stole the show with its sweet and spicy tang, while the beancurd’s special sauce added a nice twist. Everything paired perfectly with their sweet potato porridge, making it a simple, flavourful, and satisfying meal. Definitely a place I’ll return to for a hearty, feel-good meal! 😋

Went here for dinner with my friend and is happy with the experience. They have a variety of food to choose from and all taste pretty good !:)

($7.90) black truffle was not that strong enough tbh but the sauce was quite creamy and milky.

($2.90) I didn't expected that to be so spicy aftertaste with veg :")
