Uncle hard sells the you tiao and egg (which costs extra). Moreover, he is quite forgetful (forgot both the you tiao and the egg even after hard selling them to me). The amount of ingredients for this specialty porridge is also very little compared to the picture in the stall. For $9.50 (buying there and not grab food) Wouldn't return.
Edit: turns out the egg is not even added (even though uncle claimed that it's added at the bottom of the bowl).
Really bad experience indeed

Ordered the pork porridge. Consistency was ok. Taste was ok according to my girl. But no you tiao was given and I had asked them to check. No youtiao.

I had a really unpleasant experience at this porridge stall recently. What happened was after I ordered my food, I asked the elderly man who was preparing the porridge how much it would cost. He didn’t respond, so I asked again, this time a bit louder, thinking he hadn’t heard me. To my surprise, he responded in a loud, rude and sarcastic manner, “Hey miss! I am cooking! can you wait!”
His tone was uncalled for and left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. While the food might have been decent, the way I was treated completely ruined my experience. It’s unfortunate because good service can really make a difference, but I won’t be returning due to the rude behavior I’ve encountered.

Sorry to say that they porridge actually failed badly.
Liver overcooked, porridge tasteless.
Only good thing is the you tiao they re fried so it taste better.
Definitely not worth a try.

very nice porridge but what is upsetting is the price. grab shows $8/bowl, buying at the shop itself cost $4.50. i know grab charge commission but almost doubling the price isit fair? somemore we cannot check out the porridge until we add on and the cheapest was egg which is $1.20. my whole porridge with discount voucher is close to $8 when i could have paid $3 cheaper if i bought there.

The porridge wasn't hot enough. My $6 mixed meat order contained only very small pieces of meat, and other porridge stores are much better. I've never had a porridge supper with so little meat before, and I won't be coming back. Thanks.

The congee was a little underwhelming.
Ingredients and portion were good.
The taste was just lacking.

I had the Century Egg and Sliced Pork Porridge with an egg. The price was quite reasonable after a 10% Fairprice discount, but the porridge was quite watery after a few gentle stirs. Moreover, it seemed to be overloaded with MSG; I felt thirsty immediately after eating.
Compared to Chai Chee Porridge, they have a long way to go. I would have given 2.5 stars if there were such an option.
I'm unlikely to try again, not even for other items, since their basic dish was already somewhat of a letdown.

The order was taken by a man in front of the stall and relayed to the female cook inside. She was glued to her phone on social media for a good 30 seconds to a minute before finally putting it down. She then asked for the order to be repeated. Terrible attitude.
