This is the famous porridge in Hougang. When I first visited this stall, close to 20 years ago. There was only this outlet. Therefore, this outlet could be considered the main branch.
A wide variety of porridge available for sales, you would be amazed by the types of porridge available.
This was still the place to go for a decent bowl of porridge. The porridge seemed to be on the salty side.
The missing star was because the standard and quality of porridge dropped significantly compared to when I first tried it.

TLDR: long wait time, but worth for the fragrant, delicious pork porridge! Staff very friendly and trying their best to help you.
only 2 pax allowed. If you come with 3 or 4 people, will be separated to different tables. Very limited seating, encouraged to do takeaway.
If you dine in, staff will tell you to queue up and order first (10 minutes). Then you stand around and wait for a free table(s) (another 20 minutes). So waiting time is quite long. If you takeaway, you order and wait in designated chairs with like 15 others and wait for your number to be called.
Onto the food! š²ā Very fragrant pork. Delicious pork innards and meat, paired with nice thick congee/porridge. A sprinkle of green onions, fried onions, paired with a hot fried cripsy you tiao ($1.50 i think). Served piping hot even in takeaway/food delivery, so dont be afraid to takeaway! Well worth the wait.
The menu has other stuff like fish porridge, frog legs, worth trying! The drinks are cheap and yummy but a bit small cup for hot drinks.
Now a little bit of history on the 2 pax: the restuarant tried to apply for 5 pax but failed, so forced to do 2 pax. By 29 mar may change but nothing confirmed yet. Last time they solely do takeaway during CB and was really successful. Now they put in limited seating for dine-in, is not really worth for them LOL we dine-in also need to self-return trays and need wait long long for tables. Better to dabao, the staff tell us.

Came at 7.53am on a Sunday, and there was already a queue. Thereās always a queue. Waited for about 40 mins but it was worth every minute. Plenty of ingredients in each bowl and the portionās really generous! Meat was tender and the pork balls were so flavourful. I donāt usually like porridge but this might be the best porridge Iāve eaten. It can be a bit salty though so ask for less salt! If you donāt know what to get just get their signature bowl ($6) and it comes with everything - cuttlefish, fish slices, pork balls, pork, intestines, century egg. My fave is still the century egg with pork ($4.50) YUMMMMMMY.
Update 4 Jan 2022:
I don't know what they put in this porridge, but I'm hooked and if I could I would review this a thousand times. Since the review above 5 months ago, I've been a regular - I have this almost weekly to satisfy my almost-daily craving.
A tip is to order this on grab for pick up ($6 for a bowl of century egg with pork porridge (+additional pork) after 25% off grab voucher) so you won't have to stand in line to wait.
