    Excellent dishes to go with Porridge. The Lala was so fresh that the sea freshness is clearly tasteable. The brinjal was also great. So is the sour mustard leaf cooked with duck. meat and dried chilli. And the almost mandatory but tasty tou Lang yu. (dace fish in black beans)

    This restaurant serves porridge or broth. The porridge and dishes are simple, many dishes and tasty. It's a residence house converted into a coffee shop style eatery. It has a cool ambience, moderately lighted and well ventilated place. The food is simple, tasty and varieties dishes.

  • 5/5 V3earthling 4 years ago on Google
    Truly enjoy the porridge here. The side dishes you can order are good! (to eat with your porridge). Environment is clean. Nostalgia music filled the place. Creative and historical style decoration all over. The only downside is the parking space. Park at your own risk. But this wont stop me from my next visit.

    Traditional teochew moey with some olden Malaya n post merdeka deco. Wish d sweet potatoes in d moey can b more cooked. I supposed d chef intentionally cook it this way. All d while a bit pricey, price may have dropped a bit. Don't have any pickled clams or crabs or steam fresh fish. Could b overrated.

    Fast service and home cooked feel. Quite crowded during 1130 to 1230 so first come first serve. Many varieties to choose from

    Very quaint place for one to have teochew porridge as a comfort food. Decor is authentic nostalgic, bringing one back to the days of the 70s and 80s. Food was good and not pricey. Can get quite crowded and opens from 11am till 2pm. But dishes may have less choices by around 1pm.

    You can get variety of dishes here to eat with sweet potato porridge. My favourite dish is taukua . Too many mosquitoes under the table.

👍 Affordable dim sum with a wide range of selection. It’s not premium dim sum but can fixed your craving. I like their fried food more than the steam one. Fried carrot cake is good. Bun and fish balls also recommended. Queue could be quite long during weekend.
