| Century Egg and Pork Porridge $3.50 with Egg $0.50
Age seems to have caught up with me. I used to have porridge only when I
was not feeling well. And when I am well, I would definitely not have porridge
for lunch as it was not filling. But now, ironically, I enjoy a bowl of
porridge for lunch every now and then. Yes, even if the weather is scorching
hot, I somehow cannot say no to this porridge.

I am surprise that no one has shared about Xiang Ji Porridge 香记粥品 as it is a hidden
gem! The stall is located at Telok Blangah Crescent Hawker Centre, which is
quite out of the way as it is not near any MRT stations. It is located 5
minutes away from Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and SAFRA Mount
Faber.
The stall is open from Tuesday to Saturday and business starts at 7am
till sold out, which is usually slightly after 1pm. During lunch time, the
queue can stretch to more than 10 persons long. This is how popular they are!
In terms of variety, they offer a wide range, from century eggs, pork liver, pork
minced meat, pork lean meat, shredded chicken to fish.
The porridge has a grainy texture as it is well cooked till the grains are
broken into slightly smaller pieces. Each bowl of porridge comes with generous
toppings of fried fritters, spring onion, shallots and preserved vegetable. There
is no need to add additional seasoning as the porridge is flavourful, not to
the extent of salty, and the preserved vegetable will provide additional
flavour.

My favourite and usual dish is the Century Egg and Pork Porridge which cost
$3.50. I will usually add an egg for $0.50 to make the texture creamier and
provide more flavour. The amount of ingredient given is quite generous (you can see the
amount of century egg given in the photos above).

Since I chanced upon this stall, I have been eating their porridge
frequently. This simple yet unpretentious bowl of porridge certainly punches
its weigh. Whether you are feeling under or above the weather, this is one good
solid bowl of porridge worth trying!
