Sin Heng Kee Porridge - 685 Hougang St. 61

Located in Hougang. This stall has one of the better porridge around. Fits everything nicely in a bowl. Long q but worth the wait.

This porridge restaurant is highly recommended. The high rating by so many people for this restaurant is justifiable. I tried the following: 1. Signature porridge (contains all ingredients except egg) 2. Century egg lean meat porridge 3. Fried dough fritter (youtiao) The porridge is the thick kind, and it is really really tasty. Do note that the porridge here does not have have egg. You need to add on 50 cent for the egg, but totally worth it. Dine in ordering system: 1. Get the number from one of the workers 2. Get seated like you are waiting for vaccination (usually got queue) 3. Once they call your number, you may proceed to the seat 4. Take your assigned number badge and proceed to queue to order for porridge and youtiao only 5. They will send the food to your table 6. For drinks, you need to order at the separate counter and pick them up yourself The staff are very friendly, and the experience makes the nice food even nicer.

Porridge here is not Cantonese/HK style in my experience. However, taste was also good. Texture was thick, big pieces of rice. Lot of meats. I personally like double pork and pork stomach porridge. Meat was marinated very well.

This is hands down my favourite porridge spot. Their signature porridge is a must try - filled with a variety of ingredients and served piping hot. But you will need to be prepared to queue, takeaway food took 35 mins on a weekday afternoon. To me, it’s so worth the wait.

Best porridge place you can find in Singapore. You just know it is when there’s like a never ending queue of people waiting to eat the food here. There’s lots of different types of porridge to choose from, from fish slices or pork to their signature version (with pork liver, meatball and century egg). You can add egg also if you like. I always order dough fritters (aka youtiao) to go along with the porridge. Most of the time it’s really crispy. I find it very flavourful, portion also great at making you full. It’s like the go to dish to have for breakfast or if you don’t feel like having rice or noodles for lunch. Be sure to try the simpler versions and not the fancier ones (I think there’s an abalone one too). Porridge is meant to be simple fare, don’t need to eat fancy versions.

Came at 7.53am on a Sunday, and there was already a queue. There’s always a queue. Waited for about 40 mins but it was worth every minute. Plenty of ingredients in each bowl and the portion’s really generous! Meat was tender and the pork balls were so flavourful. I don’t usually like porridge but this might be the best porridge I’ve eaten. It can be a bit salty though so ask for less salt! If you don’t 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.

27/3/2022 sunday lunch 12pm+ 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! ?☕ 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.

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.
