This was my childhood breakfast almost every Saturday. My dad would drive my brother and I to Chinatown Complex to eat "shark's fin" porridge, as we would call it. We would add some of the bee hoon into the porridge, and after a few stirs, the color of the porridge would darken, making the bee hoon look like shark's fin in the soup! My brother and I actually thought that this was how shark's fin tasted like (of course, until we tried the real one)! But to me, this would always be way better than any real shark's fin. 😋😋

We witnessed the power of inflation through this stall, their prices were raised from 50 cents to 1 dollar a bowl. Thankfully, its taste remains the same. The porridge is infused with dried bonito flakes, and the fried bee hoon is filled with wok hei. Last time, they also sold fried hor fun, but they now focus on fried bee hoon and porridge. Nothing fancy, very simple ingredients, but I just can't find any similar flavours in Singapore! #hawkerpedia
