(Updated review - Aug 2024) Porridge still pretty good. However, almost everything else is hit or miss. The food during my most . The salted egg yolk tofu was too wet (and had a piece of plrecent trip doesn't taste as good as before. The qinglong cai was old and/or overcookedastic on it - for which they removed the dish from my bill). The grape juice pork belly was not fried as well as before (maybe they cut it a bit too thick, or didn't fry it as deeply as before). Might be that they have 2 different chefs working at different times, and one chef is good and one chef isn't, because sometimes the food is still great. Hope the place can improve its consistency.
(Original review - 5 stars) Seafood porridge (pre-order) Grape juice pork Meicai Kailan (edit: recently in 2023, this dish has been a bit salty, and sometimes they run out of the crispy meicai and substitute with a canned pickled meicai, which isn't very good) Qinglong (green dragon) vegetable Salted egg tofu Summertime prawns with glass noodle in tomyam soup Mango chicken (not bad, but not great)
Everything was great. So yummy! Normally I get the grape juice pork and meicai Kailan, but tonight we had more people so could get more stuff, and it was very pleasant to find that everything we ordered was excellent (ok, other than the mango chicken, which was just good, but not memorably so). So good! highly...
Read moreThis restaurant, off busy Macalister Road, is located in the quiet vicinity of Nanning Street. It is patronised by regular customers who go there for their delicious porridge.
The porridge is smooth and does not make you thirsty. So, you are assured that no or little monosodium glutamate is used in their preparation. I like the taste and would not hesitate to recommend it to porridge lovers.
You can choose to add crabs, soft crabs, prawns, clams, fish slices and even dried scallop to the porrdge. So the sweetness definitely comes from these additions. Not to worry that you need to choose all the additions. We had groupa fish slices and clams and already the natural sweetness was in the porridge.
You can get 6 bowls of porridge from a clay pot order for two persons. There is enough for three persons if you are not a big eater. Slices of young ginger are also added to the preparation, giving it the fragrance of ginger, which is not complete without it Add a dash of soya sauce and pepper and carefully suck in the boiling hot porridge for that unforgettable taste. The fun is eating it when piping hot.
If reading my review makes you drool, waste no time and head for this restaurant with your friends. If you are not into porridge, fret not as they have an extensive Chinese cuisine to titillate your taste buds. But that is another story for another...
Read moreThis is my first time to the restaurant, as recommended by a friend and had a very pleasant lunch! The restaurant was located at the ground floor of a 3-stotey building on Lebuh Nanning, right opposite the Lorong Seratus Tahun Curry Mee. We ordered five dishes and to our surprise, all the dishes were delicious and suitable for our tastebuds. We had the Braised Pork Belly "Tong Po Rou" which was melt in the mouth. The 2nd dish was the stirfried Kailan with Boey Chai, Chinese Sausage and topped with crispy seaweed. It's so light and refreshing. The 3rd dish was the Crispy Fried Tofu with Salted Egg, then 4th-Crispy Fried Minced Pork, Prawns & Chinese Fritters. Last dish was Deep-fried Pork in grape sauce. Parking is very convenient, at an open space next to the restaurant building. I will...
