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!
