Inside Fengshan Hawker Centre are two stalls with the same name of “Chai Chee Pork Porridge”. My parents say the one that is open at night (#01-23) is much better than the other. So naturally, I had to try a little from their bowls of fish and pork porridge when we dined together last weekend.
Although I haven’t eaten from the other stall, I do trust my parents’ taste in food. True enough, I did find it very tasty despite not being really into porridge all that much.
This hawker cooks the rice grains till very fine and extremely smooth, almost creamy in fact. Its plain looks also belie how flavourful the porridge is.
The slices of fish were clean-tasting and fresh but if forced to choose between that and the pork version, I would pick the latter. Only because I love the sweetness of pork in porridge.
