Oasis Taiwan Porridge - 303 Lor 6 Toa Payoh

An authentic Taiwan Porridge restaurant that is full of memories?. A supper place where we went at least 20yrs ago after night ktv & ? as they r the few restaurants that opened till late. A place that i will think of when craving for atas porridge.. ♥️ the sweet potato, fresh cockles, cai po egg etc.. A place that I will never forget..? #msgreedysis #greedybuddiez

Brought my parents there and I found out that it was my mum's second visit after many years! The food wasn't salty at all. Ordered the meatcake, prawn rolls, spinach soup with three kinds of eggs and their homemade tofu. The service quality is superb. Definitely a 5/5 for me! And also, they are just located in the park, next to the carpark. I will return there again if I can!

Perhaps it’s the start of a new year but I was hit by a wave of nostalgia and thought of Oasis Taiwan Porridge, a Chinese restaurant we used to frequent very regularly for suppers about two decades ago. This was during the time when it was located in Kallang - also in a round building and surrounded by water, just like it is now at Toa Payoh Gardens (and if you know what I’m talking about, I guess we’re about the same age ?). Since there were just us two yesterday, I could only order most of our old favourites: Stirfried Szechuan Vegetable with Pork, Chye Por Omelette, Cold Silken Tofu in Soya Sauce with Century Egg and Pork Floss, Stirfried Beansprouts with Salted Fish, and Braised Pork. The highlight for me though, has always been their porridge which is cooked to the perfect consistency with sweet potato. And because it is served in a thermos container wheeled over on a trolley which stays by your table, it is still nice and warm when you help yourself to more later. Aside from the rather dry braised pork we encountered yesterday, the rest of the dishes were fine. Flavours tasted as old-school and robust as I recall. The food was still on the oily side (it’s like they never got the government’s memo to go healthier ?) but it’s exactly why the clean-tasting porridge paired well with them I guess.

My family enjoyed the home delivered meal. It was still piping hot when it arrived and the soupy items were cling wrapped so we still have the delicious gravies. The braised lor bak skin was so tender I could easily break it off with my chopsticks but the meat was still intact with good bite. I liked the intestines albeit there was still a hint of the offal "gameyness" which is acceptable and that's what eating offal us about otherwise a chicken dish will do, lol... The omelette was fluffy and not too oily. The beef or venison (sorry couldn't figure out out as I was not the one who ordered) was tender, I like the generous amount of spring onions they put in the dish, too. The steamed salted egg yolk minced pork was also tasty and the gravy went well with both rice and porridge. Simply loved the cold tofu with century eggs and meat floss, the beansprouts but the star of the meal is the salted egg yolk squid! Oasis really did an outstanding job with the sorting in comparison to the many zi char stalls I've tried. Although we had many dishes, we did not feel jelat (cloying) after eating. I have been dreading meal times after the recent heavy consumption of rich festive foods and this kind of meal preparation have stimulated my appetite and rekindled nostalgia from their Kallang days.

An aircon setting zichar place. Prices are reasonable like zichar coffeeshop. Will come back again. Parking is free for customers. Love the piping hot porridge with sweet potatoes…reminds me of my late grandma. Was given a $10 voucher with no minimum spend for next visit with no expiry date. No wonder why this place always have decent dining crowd. Will bring my extended family here for a big family dinner next time!

the recommended steamed chicken are not that good, the rest of the dishes are fresh and deliciously well cooked. i love the pork liver in claypot ! the service here are good, mostly mature staff.

An institution when it comes to Taiwanese porridge in Singaopre. After shifting from its previous premises at the Kallang indoor stadium, the current location at Toa Payoh did not deter the restaurant from offering the same delicious standards for its Taiwan porridge fare. We had venison with spring onion, fresh cockles with its awesome chili sauce, and minced pork with salted egg. Awesome good stuff!

A good place to have Taiwanese porridge that comes with sweet potatoes. The dishes wise is consistent in term of quality and have been in menu since the days they were in Kallang oasis. The only feedback is in term of service, they need to be more attentive to customers, as for many times, we have to look for the staff to top up tea and porridge, when the restaurant is not crowded during off peak hours.
