Overview

If you’re in Singapore and craving some Teochew porridge, Teo Heng Teochew Porridge is where you gotta go. Located at 531A Upper Cross St (that’s #01-56, for the detail-oriented folks), this hawker stall has been serving delicious comfort food that just feels like home.

Now, I’ve had my fair share of porridge, but this place has a vibe that’s hard to beat. Imagine sitting there, surrounded by the busy hum of a hawker center, inhaling the fragrant steam rising from freshly poached pomfret. Nothing quite like it, right? With a score of 4.6 out of 5 from 47 reviews, you can bet that it’s not just me raving about this joint.

Speaking of reviews, people keep singing praises about their poached fish. Seriously, if you’re indecisive, just go all-in and try a bit of everything. And let me tell you, the braised egg? Absolute game-changer. It’s runny and rich—perfect for mixing into your porridge.

Sure, I’ve heard some chatter about odd smells if you sit too close to the stall (which, hey, fair warning), but the food truly steals the show. Hitting the sweet spot between traditional Teochew flavors and a little twist, you won’t leave disappointed.

The owners, a friendly uncle and auntie, greet you with smiles and quick service, making it feel like you’re visiting family. Plus, they open bright and early at 7:30 am—ideal for breakfast lovers or those early risers needing a delightful pick-me-up before the day kicks into high gear.

Just a heads up though—grab your meal before 1 pm when they close; it’s often all gone by then. And, if you happen to be dining solo or with friends, the cozy, casual atmosphere is just perfect for enjoying a comforting bowl of porridge.

So, if you’re near Hong Lim Food Centre, swing by and have a taste. The food is classic, the prices are decent, and the nostalgia? Off the charts! You might just find joy and flavor in every spoonful. Trust me; it’s a little slice of Teochew heaven.
