Ah Chiang's Porridge (Tiong Bahru)

Massively craving some warm porridge and this was so good. The unholy combination of fresh raw salmon with sesame oil paired with a good thick bowl of porridge. Dont skimp on the egg, you won’t regret it! Sometimes the simplest meals are the best. Can’t wait to head back

Despite that the weather was scorching hot, that didn’t stop me from chomping down on the charcoal cooked porridge with mixed meat of minced and sliced pork. Though it might seem like food for the sick, this plain looking bowl actually packs all the flavours from the natural sweetness from the broken rice grains to the freshness of the meat that was sourced from the nearest market.

Looks like Ah Chiang Porridge’s popularity isn’t really fazed in light of all the social distancing. We arrived at 8pm but the place was still almost full. We didn’t have to wait long for a table, especially with the staff helping to find and coordinate seating, but when we went to place our order, a fair bit of the vegetables and side dishes (like the tofu) were already sold out.

All our dishes and porridge bowls arrived within 10 minutes of ordering so it was very quick, and all the food was piping hot! Porridge texture was super silky and smooth. At Ah Chiang’s, I find that I don’t even need to add any additional soy sauce or pepper on my own and I’d still wolf down the whole bowl. No fishy smell from the fish slices, though I wish they’d come in bigger pieces. The lean pork meat was not tough either, and century egg is the perfect add-on for this.

Note that if you plan to visit and want to order the zhi char dishes, you should come here instead of the Jurong East outlet as they have a very very lean menu there. Highly recommend ordering the cai po egg and fried tofu!

The porridge and garlic chicken is highly recommended especially the chicken! And the pork liver is a bit salty but still taste good totally ~22sgd

Century egg sliced pork porridge ($5.50)

Porridge is bland but tastes okay with century egg and the pork slices. There is ginger shreds mixed in.
