hawker (porridge) 🍚

A hearty bowl of Cantonese congee! The pork porridge ($3) was smooth with chewy meat pieces. A very homely stall, especially when the lady boss speaks dialect to you :-)

Probably a close contender of my favourite porridge store in Maxwell! The porridge ($3) is simmered long to give a smooth texture, but I like that the individual grains can still be felt. Major plus points that this is a very clean bowl overall - none of the usual MSG junk that leaves you super thirsty! They use sesame oil to elevate the flavour, and I personally like adding an egg (+ $0.50). The best part of it is their hand rolled meat balls, which are made from lean minced meat (no fat or cartilage included at all!!) and lightly seasoned to give a really satisfying bite!! 👍🏼🌟

Thought this store looked quite promising, so I decided to try something new! The porridge ($3) is smooth and starchy, but rather salty. Was disappointed because there were only a few small pieces of minced pork!
