Welcome to East, Singapore.

Had a super comforting zichar-style meal with porridge — simple, homely dishes that hit all the right spots. Here’s a quick take on each one:

Prawn paste pork – crispy, juicy, and full of umami. Solid flavour punch.
Omelette with cai poh – fragrant, savoury, and nicely textured with radish bits.
Tieban tofu – soft and comforting with a rich, savoury sauce.
Sambal lala – spicy, fragrant, and fresh. Sambal really shiok.
Stir-fried cabbage – light, crunchy, and slightly sweet. Balances the meal well.
Porridge – smooth and plain, perfect for pairing with all the bold flavours.

Tried Gu Zao Ren Taiwan Food Porridge and it really hit the spot. We had the black pepper beef — the sauce was nice and thick, perfect to go with the porridge. Also got the omelette with cai po which was tasty, and the stir-fried cabbage was fresh and simple, just the way we like it. Service was good too, staff were friendly and fast. Would come back again for a comforting meal!

Ordered the Chorizo Pasta and Halibut Sando. The pasta was macaroni in tomato sauce. It wasn't anything but it seems something good to pair with the sando in case too much gets jelat. The halibut was fresh and tender. The sando was not dry at all. Recommend to give it a try.

Had a great dinner here! Enjoyed the dishes we ordered, particularly the claypot tofu, three cup chicken and stir fried cabbage - and all the dishes went really well with the sweet potato porridge.

The chicken chop had a nicely grilled, well-seared crust that gave way to juicy, tender meat. It was served with JOFA peppercorn sauce, though the sauce leaned a little thin — I’d have preferred a bolder, thicker consistency to really bring out the flavours.

Sides were decent but the portions felt a bit small. If you’re arriving with an appetite, you might find yourself wishing for a more generous serving 》$8.90

Out of everything I ordered, the fried pork and sambal lala were definite standouts. The pork was tender, flavourful, and not greasy at all. The sambal lala had a unique twist compared to the usual, but the sauce was so addictive—it kept me going back for more! The other dishes were delicious too, and everything paired perfectly with their chicken rice chilli, which added an extra kick. I went on a Tues and was surprised to see the place packed. I’ll definitely be back to try their chicken rice next time!

Georges signature fried wings served with a spicy dip on the side. The wings are crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. A perfect bar snack to satisfy the little hunger 》$19.50 / 6pcs

Ordinary fried squid ball that's chewy and bounces in your mouth with every bite. The accompanying homemade sambal makes a perfect dip 》$11.90 / 8 Pcs

My favourite potato snack to go with drinks. Served hot and crispy 》$7.90

This is a nice chill-out spot with both indoor and alfresco seating. The Georges platter comes with grilled bratwurst, 6 pcs chicken strips, bbq pork ribs & chicken quesadillas served with a side of mesclun salad that is perfect for sharing. Definitely worth visiting for some food and drinks with a nice and relaxed atmosphere/ambience 》$64.20

Rarely you get such a big cup.

I didn't manage to try Roost during their first life. Now they're back. It's much better than I expected. The plate of meat was very refined. The rice was acceptable but the homemade chilli was first-class. The soup was rich, though slightly salty.
