Wow was really a shock! There was no queue literally but the waiting time was so long!
I reached and only ordered a bowl just to be told waiting time was an hour, but I eventually waited for 1.5hrs. The moment I was there collecting the porridge people who were ordering were told to wait 2 hours. They actually close at 2 (I believe) but they stopped taking orders around 12.
Was it worth the wait? I would say pretty much yes. I would seriously have preferred the congee style but this was good too. I loved it that the porridge actually had some natural sweet taste from the pork and it really tasted very well. I would have wanted to return back for more but I keep thinking about the waiting time and not sure maybe some day will try visiting again on a weekday.
The queue for a pipping hot bowl of porridge can be long! Reached the stall just before 7.30am on a Sunday morning, there were many patrons seated, some tucking in and others still waiting for roll call.
Ordered the basic small pork porridge bowl without egg. Tasty porridge which is smooth and easy to take in. All the condiments like spring onions, pepper and preserved vegetable (冬菜) are offered.
Liver still tender, meat balls fairly lean and sliced pork not over-cooked. Fried dough is reasonable, but not crisp.
Not easy to find a decent bowl of honest porridge these days. This is good.
Revisited stall on 3rd week of June 2022 and prices have been upped by 50 cents, across the board. This time round, we ordered the big bowl of pork porridge without egg at $4.50. Besides minced pork, tender pork slices and liver, 2 pieces of pig stomach gets thrown in. A pleasant surprise.
Decent porridge. Waiting time can be long depending on when you visit. Even at opening hour 645am, we had to wait for 30 mins.
A great stall to get good porridge, only if you have tons of time waiting for it.
