Teochew Porridge 潮州粥

Simple and homely Teochew porridge spot along Serangoon Road serving up a comforting range of dishes from meats and veggies to fresh steamed fish. I had the braised duck, which was tender with no gaminess, plus sides like bitter gourd, clams, fish cake and okra.

Prices are a touch higher than expected but portions are decent and it makes for a warm, comforting lunch 》$27.40

Simple comfort Teochew porridge with plenty of homestyle sides to go with it. The braised mid wings were my favourite. It’s tender, savoury and full of flavour while the bitter gourd with egg added that nice earthy bite. Pork belly was rich, tau kee soft and saucy and the cabbage with glass noodles gave a light sweetness. Spicy minced pork didn’t stand out as much but overall it was a hearty and satisfying spread 》$20.50

Glad to see Ah Seah back in action. The new spot’s a little more modern, but the food still hits like it used to. Porridge is smooth and comforting, soaking up the flavours from the sides. I went for the usual suspects with minced pork, clams, salted veg, pig skin and cabbage. The condiments are a must for Teochew porridge which brings everything together.

Fast service, familiar orange plates and that old-school vibe that makes everything taste comforting 》$16.40

My usual stop whenever I’m around AMK. Comforting porridge paired with sides that taste like homecooked dishes. This round I went with fish cake, bittergourd with egg, chap chye, steamed fish with pickled mustard greens, minced meat and a meatball. Not too expensive and you get a good variety for a fuss-free and satisfying meal 》$17

A perfect late-night supper over piping hot Teochew porridge at reasonable prices. I particularly liked the braised duck for its strong flavour of braise sauce which goes really well with a bowl of porridge. Other dishes I tried are preserved mustard greens, okra and lala that were cooked with homely flavours 》$13

📍 Fuji Duck & Teochew Porridge | #01-22

This place opens till 11pm late into the night and offers a decent variety of home-cooked dishes. I ordered a portion of minced pork, stewed cabbage, steamed pomfret and braised intestines to go along with a bowl of porridge. The fish is fresh and meaty. Intestines were well-cleaned and cooked, retaining a chewy and springy texture. The dishes are nothing magnificent but comforting, simple, affordable and reasonably priced. This is probably why there is always a queue for some late-night Teochew porridge 》$22

My newfound favourite late dinner/supper place for Teochew porridge. The queue is usually long here and they serve a wide variety of side dishes. The steamed pomfret was one of their more popular dishes but it ran out before I reached the front of the queue. I ordered some french beans, cabbage, pork belly, braised intestines and tau kee. These dishes are priced reasonably with good portions. Simply comforting with a home-cooked taste 》$11

This is the place to go if you are looking for reasonably priced Teochew porridge with a wide variety of dishes to select from. Taste-wise they are neither the best nor the worst. It’s just a decent and simple place to go for a no-frills Teochew porridge meal.

Dishes that I have tried are minced pork with fermented black beans, braised pork belly, braised pig skin, handmade fish cake and preserved vegetables. These dishes are relatively standard except for the pig skin which was not braised well enough and quite tough in texture 》$18.20

Teochew porridge shop that serves the usual comfort food at a reasonable price even past midnight till 4 am. They offer an extensive range of dishes that satisfy almost anyone and everyone. Porridge is served hot with average and simple yet comforting dishes 》$9.70

This stall serves very affordable, fresh and tasty old favourite Teochew dishes and they are well known for their steamed fish and handmade fish cake so it is a definitely must-order. The constant long queues are a good indication of their popularity but they are quite efficient and the wait is relatively short.

I loved their average-sized, fresh and tender steamed grouper. It was served hot and fresh out from the steamer, topped with salted vegetables and sliced ginger along with clear and subtly sweet broth 》$15

One of the popular places around Hougang for authentic and traditional Teochew porridge. We ordered simple dishes like minced pork, braised pig skin, braised tau pok, potato & luncheon meat in tomato sauce and spicy lala to pair with the comforting and plain porridge. Not the best Teochew porridge but they are one of the cheap and good ones around here 》$18.50

Ordered some braised duck, celery, lala and tau pok for our late night meal to go with porridge. We just couldn't resist their braised items like braised duck and tau pok as they are always rich in flavour and goes very well with porridge.

The braised duck was soft, tender and it is particularly good with their rich and fragrant braised sauce. I liked that the tau pok braised with a distinct herbal taste - simply tasty. We also love the fresh lala that comes with some spicy flavours to add some punch to our meal.

Price varies with the choices of dishes ordered. Our meal came up to $19.30 with three bowls of porridge.
