夜上海 Ye Shanghai Teochew Porridge


Man, looking at that photo just makes me hungry again. Along Henderson Road (near junction of Bukit Merah) is the most awesome Teochew Porridge place ever. Most awesome because the food is great, it's incredibly cheap for the amount, and it opens practically 24 hours. The porridge is brown because I added the Pig Trotter sauce into it. It's great.

Also, how cool is the name?

To eat:
Teochew Porridge, I personally think their Pig Trotter is out of this world for the price, their Otak is great (and I don't even normally eat spicy food), everything else I've had is pretty good, the Chye Poh Egg is pretty nice too. I don't usually eat fish at these place so I can't comment on that.

Cost:
That picture cost me $6.70. Considering that my market sells half a raw pig trotter at $4, I'm not really sure how I'm getting away with all that. Every single time I've ordered the pig trotter I get a huge chunk of it, maybe I'm lucky I don't know. I know that every time I've eaten there, regardless of the combination of dishes I always pay less than I expect to.

Pros:
Cheap, good, plentiful HDB parking, open almost 24 hours.

Cons:
Yet another coffeeshop, so if you're sick of that, tough luck. They don't actually have steamed egg, which is a little annoying since I really like that. But the Chye Poh Egg makes up for it. The queue is almost always pretty long (good sign) but it moves fast unlike Tai Hwa. I hate queues and I'm actually okay with this one. Closed on Tuesdays.

Opening hours:
1030am - 530am 6 days a week (closed on Tuesdays)

Address:
116 Bukit Merah View (Henderson Road) 151116
