REVIEW: Good Porridge in Singapore: Soon Lee Porridge @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

I was warned that there would be a line for Soon Lee Porridge at the Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre, yet there was none. They will bring the porridge right to your seat!! During lunch, I waited for about 20 minutes. You only need to inform them of your table number. Soon Lee Porridge specializes in Hainanese porridge and offers just three options on their menu. Hainanese porridge is often grainier and thicker than Cantonese or Teochew porridge.

Each dish is prepared separately; plain porridge is scooped into a small pot first, then a secret sauce is poured, followed by any additions you have chosen.

I chose the Pork Porridge with egg ($2.80), which came with spring onions, fried shallots and pork lards on top. I noticed plenty of pork slices, pork balls, and pork livers as I stirred. The pork balls were delicious. They were tasty and well-seasoned. The pork slices and livers were slightly tougher and more difficult to chew than the pork balls.

Though the porridge was a little too light for me, it was hearty and satisfying at best. Their price points are super wallet-friendly ranging from $2.50 to $3.50.
