Dynasty Fried Porridge

[JALAN BESAR, SINGAPORE] Everyone, I think I have found another great hidden zichar restaurant in the heart of the Jalan Besar region! Even though this was a tasting, I enjoyed the food alot and I will be back again 😍

If @dynasty_fried_porridge calls themselves this way, their Dynasty Famous Fried Porridge 🍲 ($8.50 for small portion) should be good. True enough, it was very smoky and had a strong umami. It wasn't too salty either, and I appreciated the little bits of yam within that added texture to this dish!

What's even better is their Hong Shao Braised Pork Stir Fried Bee Hoon 🍜 ($11) which was so flavourful. It had a good wok hei, and they managed to not make the noodles soggy! The meat was very tender as well.

For sides, their Prawns Paste Wings 🍗 ($13 for smal portion) was really a great accomplishment. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, I liked how it wasn't too salty and yet delivered the umami we expect from prawn paste. What's even better was their Salted Egg Sotong 🦑, as it was so crispy, and yet the squid within wasn't overcooked! The squid pieces tasted very fresh and didn't seem frozen.

When all dishes are hits, you know their chef really has the skills. I can't wait to bring my friends and family here! Thank you @dynasty_fried_porridge for the invite 😁

Smooth and thick fried porridge with slices of meat, taro and shrimp, topped with fried shallots and pork lard. The porridge is wok-fried and then scooped into a claypot to serve. It has a deep and smoky wok-hei aroma. The flavours of the porridge were strong and not too salty. This is a comforting bowl of porridge that’s perfect for the rainy day 》$7 / small

KL-style Hokkien mee with cabbage, pork slices and shrimp generously coated in dark soya sauce then topped with crispy pork lard. I like the wok-hei and savoury flavours in there. The thicker noodles are well coated in sauce with a bouncy chewy texture that’s quite similar to udon 》$7 / small

Fried porridge 炒粥 originated from Penang. Dynasty Fried Porridge is supposed to be the original and best in Singapore.

noodles had a nice flavour. But its a bit costly at $6. Especially when there is a char siew noodle stall next door.

Their fried porridge seemed q popular though.

Well the name of the stall says Dynasty Fried Porridge so we have to try their much vaunted fried porridge. This is the smallest portion and it costs $7. And what a gem.

You will find bits of dried cuttle fish, yam, port, scallops, fried shrimps. And lots of lard amd fried scallions. So the flavour is very complex but nice. The dish is served in a claypot which retains the heat very well. We could smell the wok heat immediately as it was being served.

I would rate this as the best fried porridge that I have tasted so far in Singapore.

Definitely coming back for more!
