Good, homey porridge. Several options like chicken, preserved egg and fish. The rice grains are thoroughly cooked and the julienned ginger is very tender and gentle. If you prefer the more watery gooey porridge, you will find this too thick. Very substantial and filling. Good fuel to kick start a day at school or work.
But no pork options.
I asked the auntie to tone down the addition of preserved vegetable (冬菜) because i wanted to cut back on salt intake. Skipped sesame oil and just live with fried shallots in oil. Good enough for aromatics! If you like, ask for some sliced red chilli to spice it up a notch.
Like the fish, chicken and preserved egg serving best! You get 3 types of ingredients all in 1 bowl!
Flavourful, hearty and affordable! Pasty consistency and piping hot, generous slices of century egg and topped with raw egg. This is a definite must try when you visit Maxwell. But be early cause they always sell out after lunch. Sucks that they are closed every Tuesday (I always forget and crave it in Tuesdays lol!). At $4 per bowl.. you can never go wrong with Zhen Zhen Porridge!
Traditional fish and chicken porridge with good texture and excellent flavour. Full of ingredients for a $4 bowl. A gem here.
