A short while back when Terence and I were supposed to pick Sherry up from Zouk, so we ventured to this coffee shop nearby to try their teochew porridge while waiting for her to be done. It's a small corner coffee shop by the side of the road, and it only serves, what else but teochew porridge. We were there at about 1.30am and people were starting to stream in. From old folks to young guns, can find them all here. Must be quite popular since there's such a crowd.
We stepped into the shop and took a look at what was available. Your standard teochew porridge fare I guess. After fussing over what we should eat we decided on pig's trotters, fish cakes, hae bee hiam (small prawns), mei cai(preserved/salted vegetables) and tau kee (beancurd skin). With teochew porridge you never really have to wait. They just dish out the food and serve you on the spot, so no waiting time.
I took individual photos of all the food but I was lazy to upload all of them so lets just have a group photo. I felt that the food was decent. The pig's trotters and fish cakes were notable mentions though. The fish cakes had stuff inside, crunchy bits you could call them. Like spring onions or something. Nice added bite. Pig's trotters was soft and not too fatty. Don't really like it when there's too much fats jiggling around. Haha.The meal set us back $16. I thought it was alright considering that we had so many dishes including the pig's trotters. Worth a try especially if after clubbing at Zouk.
