[CLOSED] Teck Teochew Porridge

After driving past this place numerous times, we finally had dinner here. And I couldn't be happier because this is how I've always thought Teochew porridge should be.
On display are dishes you'd expect of any self-respecting Teochew porridge stall: steamed fishcake, "kiam chye buay" (preserved vegetables boiled till mush), whitebait and "lor arh" (braised duck). Plus -- and I got really excited when I saw this -- they also serve the rarer, more interesting dishes, like cold crayfish and "ter tau bak" (pig's head meat). How cool is that!
I can't help but award them an "A" for their three condiments: "tau cheo" (fermented soya bean), a bright orange garlicky chilli sauce and a thick black soya sauce filled with lots of cut chili padi and chopped raw garlic. They complete the meal so perfectly.

One of the defining factor of Teochew-styled porridge is actually the accompanying braised meats which are highly dependent on a good braising sauce. The braising sauce here is powerful and good. Thick with dark and caramelly sweet flavours while successfully maintaining the signature watery Teochew-styled sauce. The duck and pork belly here is also very good, but it is only available at night. So glad I made a detour tonight and chosen a place I've not tried before. My adopted neighbourhood is indeed an unlimited culinary treasure trove. | #joochiatfood #food #dinner

Ended up here instead, food overall not bad and we spent total of $57.80.. What we ordered: cold squid $6, steamed egg $5, minced meat with salted fish patty $6 (if only they use fatty meat instead of lean meat), stir-fried sweet potato leaves ($5) and teochew style steamed red grouper ($35.80)

A selection from the Teochew porridge spread and a two dollar bill is all it takes to make me happy on a Monday. | #food #comfortfood #teochewporridge #mondayblues #dinner
