On a cold and rainy day, nothing beats a piping hot bowl of porridge.

This stall in Joo Chiat area has been around for ages. Their porridge is silky soft, load of ingredients and their boneless chicken is literally one of the best in Singapore. Auntie cooks the porridge orders one by one. If you ask to add an egg, she will mix in the egg white while the porridge is cooking and pour the broth into the bowl containing the egg yolk. See my video. Somehow the porridge is more silky and you have a nice soft chew from the egg white. Pork porridge, chicken porridge, fish porridge…they are all good.

The chicken is so tender and Uncle takes the trouble to debone every piece. Drizzled in soya sauce and sesame oil, the fragrance is incredible. Chilli is also quite nice but not the star of the show. I added chicken liver and chicken heart. Both were equally good, the former firm and creamy to chew on, the latter crunchy. Not funky taste at all.

The queue is long in weekends and moves very slowly. I waited 45 mins for my order but it was worth it. Parking is also very limited.
