Gu Zao Ren Seafood Taiwan Porridge (Changi Road)

This old-school Taiwanese porridge spot is definitely not a hidden gem, bustling with customers even on a weekday night at 8pm. Had the peashoots, 三杯鸡, hotplate tofu, fermented fried pork, and everything easy seasoned to perfectly pair with their sweet potato porridge! Had some drinks before and came slightly buzzed which was the perfect say to enjoy the delicious food. Highly recommended for supper since it opens until 2am 👀 And did I mention no gst no service charge 😳

We got the three cup chicken, hotplate beancurd, Taiwanese pea shoots and fried fermented pork. The service was super quick and food was delicious! Seasoned very well and maybe a tad salty on their own, but paired with the porridge it made for a really satisfying meal. Will definitely be back!

Went down for dinner at Guzaoren Taiwan Porridge with a friend in a weekday dinner and was definitely not disappointed - we ordered a few dishes with their refillable porridge (at only $1!) and loved the 梅菜扣肉 (braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens) as well as the salted egg pork. The hotplate beancurd and the cai poh omelette was done quite well too. Recommended for casual dinners or if you're craving zi char!

Had a great meal at Gu Zao Ren Taiwanese Porridge. The kampung chicken was tender, flavourful, and clearly well-prepared, while the Taiwanese porridge was smooth, comforting, and cooked just right. Simple, hearty dishes done really well, a great place for tze char too!

Food was delicious, this place combines two stores selling taiwanese porridge and chicken rice, so you get the best of both worlds. We got a delicious half kampung chicken from one side and also ordered fluffy Chai Po omelette and Mei Cai Kou Rou from the other. Definitely recommend this place if you want to try Zi Char in the east!

Had dinner at Gu Zao Ren and it was a satisfying old-school zi char experience overall. The caipoh hor fun was comforting and well-executed, with a nice wok-fried aroma and savoury cai poh that added depth without being overly salty. The oyster omelette had crispy edges with a soft, eggy centre, and the oysters were fresh and generous. We also enjoyed the baby kailan with scallops, the vegetables were crunchy and not overcooked, while the scallops were tender and naturally sweet. The prawn paste chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, with a fragrant har cheong flavour that wasn’t overpowering. To round things off, the salted egg pork ribs were rich and indulgent, with a creamy salted egg sauce that coated the ribs evenly without being cloying. Overall, a solid spot for hearty zi char with good flavours and decent portions, great for group dinners or family gatherings when you’re craving comforting Chinese classics.
