Teo Heng Porridge Stall, Hong Lim Food Centre

Teo Heng Porridge Stall, Hong Lim Food Centre

Teo Heng Porridge Stall (#01-56 Hong Lim Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street) faces inward to the market in the same quadrant where Generation Coffee Roaster and Heng Kee Curry Chicken Noodle are located. Not very visible and not accessible to people who don't work or live here because they only do weekdays from the early morning and close early in the afternoon.

Teo Heng Porridge Stall, Hong Lim Food Centre

They are an old school Teochew porridge stall that has been around for ages. I don't know how this information might be useful to anyone but the proprietor running operations in the stall - that man has uncannily sharp hearing. 

Teo Heng Porridge Stall, braised pig skin

There's stuff like stewed pig's skin.

Teo Heng Porridge Stall, stewed cabbage

Pretty delicious stewed cabbage which has more flavour that those pale colours may suggest.

Teo Heng Porridge Stall, fish cake

Their signature fish cakes which were delicious. These were the boiled ones with texture that was both tender and jiggly. Teo Heng also does the fried rendition which....will turn up in a while.

Teo Heng Porridge Stall, tau kwa eggs intestines braised duck

Got a mixed platter of stuff like tau kwa, eggs, intestines and sliced duck - very kuey chap-y if you catch my drift. Gonna blanket them all as delicious.

Teo Heng Porridge Stall, steamed threadfin

Threadfin that's cooked in the salted vegetable broth. Most of the salt has been boiled out of the pickled mustard and is essentially flavouring the broth leaving the vegetables not very salty. Fish was fresh, evidenced by its texture and tenderness. 👍🏼

Teo Heng Porridge Stall, fish cake & eggs

Extra eggs and fried fish cakes which I've mentioned earlier. Both the boiled and fried renditions of these fish cakes were nice in their own ways.
