9 Best Porridge in SG That Can Warm Up Any Girl’s Day (2026) 

1. Sin Heng Kee Porridge

If you’re new to Sin Heng Kee Porridge, the Signature Porridge is non-negotiable, bestie. This bowl is so loaded with sliced pork, cuttlefish, pork intestines, and century egg that finding a plain spoonful is basically a myth. 

The pork and intestines are the real MVPs according to regulars, while the century egg adds this dreamy creaminess that takes the whole bowl up a notch. Feeling a little extra? The Abalone Porridge is pricier and lighter on protein, but the natural seafood sweetness and thick abalone slices make it worth the splurge. 

Not in the mood for either? They’ve got you covered with sliced fish, triple egg, boat, and chicken porridge too. Basically, whatever comfort-food mood you’re in, Sin Heng Kee has a bowl for it.

Really the best porridge I’ve had in a long time, visited thanks to a friend suggestion. Portion of meats are VERY generous. Drinks options are also affordable, their yuan yang is really good. I had their signature porridge and it was a 10/10 would come eat again! You could also top up $2 for youtiao to eat with the porridge.

Richard Sng
Ordered the $7.50 signature porridge and it was all worth it. 👍. People coming nonstop, however, the service is fast and systematic. You will be given a number plate, put on the table and the porridge will be delivered to you. I think it is safer this way to avoid accidental spillage from the hot porridge. The ingredients given were quite generous, with bits of every items in the menu. Overall the taste Is flavourful, not salty, well blended. Definitely a good place for comfort food anytime.

Best porridge I had in Singapore!! The porridge texture was smooth and silky, richly flavoured and the portion was large! Tasty and healthy porridge to be enjoyed on a rainy day. 🙂

Mui Kee exudes heritage and history in the best way. Mui Kee’s congee recipe has been passed down for three generations, starting from a humble Hong Kong corner stall back in 1979 and now living its best life at Shaw House, Orchard. 

Out of all the options on the menu, the Garoupa Fish Belly and Dace Fish Balls congee are fan favourites for good reason — silky, comforting, and clearly made with old-school care. Meanwhile, ladies who want to treat themselves should definitely go for the Braised Baby Abalone or Sliced Threadfin for a more luxe bowl. 

And honestly, the menu doesn’t stop at porridge; they’ve got noodles, cheong fun, claypot dishes, and desserts too, so it’s a solid pick whether you’re solo or bringing the whole squad.

Alfred Siew
The porridge is very “meen” and has a nice ginger note to whet your appetite. Chicken in it is tender and flavourful. Beef brisket noodles are excellent with the tender meat though noodles can be a little firmer. Dumplings are top notch, packed with prawns and mushrooms. Great crunch too, possibly from chestnuts (am not sure). Very good HK fare.

Emmaline Harris
Located at Shaw Centre. We had the SG60 set meal for 2 but really more than enough for 3 pax too. Fine and smooth porridge to go with crispy youtiao, stir fried frog legs with spring onions, crispy chicken cutlet and stir fried veggies + tao suan. Nice food….

Thomas Yeo
Their porridges and noodles are really superb.. even thou the price is on the high side but still worth to try. No regrets. They have dinner set for certain porridges only. They also have trust card & Citibank card promotion, so it’s better to utilise them to offset your bills. Get $5 voucher for next visit after giving them about your food reviews!

3. Gu Zao Ren Taiwan Porridge

Gu Zao Ren Taiwan Porridge is where you can enjoy some porridge in a space that has no frills, just vibes (and air-con, which, in Singapore, is basically a luxury). This cosy spot serves up Taiwan sweet potato porridge for just $1 with unlimited refills — couldn’t be us saying no to that deal. 

It’s lighter and softer than your usual Cantonese-style congee, thanks to the sweet potato chunks, and pairs perfectly with their zichar dishes. The braised pork belly (kong bak) is the crowd favourite with its melt-in-your-mouth fat and preserved veggies, but the hotplate egg tofu and dark-sauce stir-fried pork liver are also serious contenders. Add the baby spinach for some greens and you’ve basically built the perfect comfort meal. 

Prices:

• Potato Porridge: $1
• Chai-Poh Omelette: $10.80
• Fried Bean Curd in Claypot: $11.88
• Fried Mix Vegetable: $13.50
• Salted Egg Pork Ribs: $16.20

Highlights:

• Unlimited Taiwanese sweet potato porridge refills
• Excellent selection of classic Taiwanese-style side dishes
• Popular braised pork belly with preserved vegetables
• Comfortable air-conditioned dining environment

Customer Reviews:

Shannon Ho
Had a really good dinner at Gu Zao Ren Taiwan Porridge recently! It is air-conditioned and great for big families, since it has big tables with lazy susans, which make sharing super easy. We ordered the hotplate tofu, oyster omelette, hotplate venison, and stir-fried sambal sweet potato leaves. Everything tasted great, and you cannot beat that $1 unlimited sweet potato porridge!!! The staff were friendly and attentive too. Definitely gonna be my go-to spot for supper too since they are open till late!

Alexander Respafio Go
Returning to Gu Zao Ren after almost a decade brought back a rush of wonderful memories. The sweet potato porridge is exactly the same—simple, warm, and deeply comforting. The star remains the braised pork belly (kong bak), with its melt-in-the-mouth fat and flavourful preserved vegetables. The hotplate egg tofu and the robust, dark sauce stir-fried pork liver hit all the right savoury notes. The dark, glossy soy-marinated cockles pack an incredible umami punch. A truly nostalgic spread of traditional flavours that hasn’t lost its touch

Poh Soh Lee
Great supper spot for sweet potato porridge (you can choose plain porridge) and Taiwanese style (fusion?) dishes. Love the see-ham! Fresh and sweet, clean taste. Perfect to go with porridge. Claypot livers cooked to perfection – tender and juicy. You can order preached chicken from their sister shop next door. Parking available, though limited. Street side parking along main road too.

4. 白家潮州糜 White House Teochew Porridge

White House Teochew Porridge is the kind of place that feels like eating at your auntie’s house, if your auntie cooked with 27 years of love and barely any oil or salt. Their signature Teochew porridge itself is light and smooth, but it’s really the side dishes that steal the show. 

The shrimp paste and braised duck are fan-favourites for being super fragrant and well-seasoned, while the steamed fish is fresh and simply done so its natural sweetness shines through. The portion sizes here are generous, the prices wallet-friendly, and everything just tastes homemade and wholesome. Overall, if you’re after that cozy, no-fuss Teochew porridge experience, this spot deserves a spot on your list. 

Prices:

• They don’t publicly list their prices. Kindly contact them directly for inquiries.

Highlights:

• Family-run Teochew porridge eatery with decades of history
• Home-style cooking using less oil and salt
• Excellent braised duck, shrimp paste and steamed fish
• Generous portions at reasonable prices

Bonnie Sheng
White Teochew Porridge is one of my go-to places when I’m craving something comforting and flavorful. Their Teochew porridge is smooth and light, but the side dishes are what really make the meal special. I especially love their shrimp paste and braised duck — both are super fragrant, well-seasoned, and go perfectly with the porridge. The steamed fish is also very fresh and simply cooked, which really lets the natural sweetness of the fish come through. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and everything tastes homely and satisfying. A great spot for a cozy, hearty Teochew-style meal. Would definitely come back again! 😊

ivant cheka
Was craving for teochew porridge, super home cook feeling, everything just amazingly nice. From bittergourd egg, ebi-hiam, caipo omelette, braised egg, fried fish, to the super thick soft and generous otah. I cant ask for more than this heartiest meal. definitely coming back again and again and again :)))

Yvonne Lim
Absolutely loved my meal here! The Teochew porridge was so comforting and paired perfectly with the braised duck — tender, flavourful, and rich. The side dishes like steamed fish and hae bee hiam were fresh and delicious, and the overall vibe of the place was warm and inviting. Great spot for traditional Teochew comfort food with family or friends!

5. Botak Cantonese Porridge

Botak Cantonese Porridge is a humble stall that started at Our Tampines Hub and has since expanded to One Punggol, yet the quality has stayed consistently excellent across both branches.

The Minced Pork Century Egg Porridge is a great starter pick — they mince the century egg right into the porridge instead of just garnishing it on top, which mellows out the smell and makes every spoonful taste rich and umami-packed. 

Craving seafood instead? The Seafood Porridge comes loaded with fresh, crunchy prawns and tender sliced fish. And if you really want to go all out, the Mixed Porridge is the most stacked option on the menu, with pork, liver, cuttlefish, chicken, and century egg all in one bowl. A solid pick no matter your craving. 

Prices:

• Pork Porridge: $4
• Mixed Pork Century Egg Porridge: $4
• Mixed Pork Porridge: $3.50
• Cuttlefish with Shredded Chicken Porridge: $4
• Century Egg with Lean Meat Porridge: $4

Highlights:

• Smooth Cantonese congee with consistently rich flavour
• Century egg blended directly into the porridge for extra creaminess
• Fresh seafood options featuring prawns, fish and cuttlefish
• Mixed Porridge loaded with generous ingredients

Joy Owyong
If you’re looking for a comforting bowl of porridge. This is where you want to be buying from. Whether purchase in person, takeaway or via an app, it tastes just as good. They’re a family business doing an honest day’s work. Ignore the 1 star reviews. Come and taste for yourself. You will not be disappointed. The texture and the flavour will keep you coming back for more. Regardless of age, this is one bowl of porridge that everyone can enjoy.

E L
A comforting bowl of porridge that’s both beautifully presented and delicious. The texture is luxuriously silky-smooth, and the taste is naturally flavorful — not bland at all, with no need for extra condiments or seasoning. The crowd was quiet during my visit, giving the stall helper time to serve it with care and attention to detail. A simple dish elevated by its quality and presentation.

Angela Lau
Been getting my weekly yummy porridge weekly at this stall after class. Sometimes need to beat to be last customer. The porridge is really nice and they do not coagulate after my bus trip home. Looking forward to trying their porridge at the other stall!

6. Xian Ji Porridge

Since 1989, Xian Ji has stuck to their old-school method of slow-stirring their porridge for hours before opening just to nail that perfectly smooth, creamy texture. Their Cantonese-style congee is a fave among regulars (some even say it’s the perfect cross between Cantonese and Teochew styles), with customisable add-ons like fish, watercress, century egg, and minced pork. 

Pro tip: it’s served a little watery, so let it sit a minute before digging in for that thicker, more satisfying texture. The Century Egg Minced Pork Porridge With Watercress is the bestseller for being filling and packed with toppings. Yes, it’s a bit pricier than your average bowl, but the quality and freshness here totally justify it. 

Prices:

• They don’t publicly list their prices. Kindly contact them directly for inquiries.

Highlights:

• Family-run recipe perfected since 1989
• Unique blend of Cantonese and Teochew-style porridge
• Fully customisable toppings
• Fresh, premium-quality ingredients throughout

Customer Reviews:

Daniel Yang
A well-made Cantonese porridge which allows diners to customise their bowl with a variety of ingredients, including fresh fish, minced pork, watercress, egg, and century egg. The porridge itself is smooth and flavorful. What stands out even more is the freshness of the ingredients, which the friendly senior owner sources daily from the Chinatown market. Definitely an awesome breakfast to start the day.

C K Leong (Ah Leong San)
This is the popular Xian Ji Porridge that was inside the coffeeshop across Tiong Bahru Bakery along Eng Hoon Street. Now it’s here still serving good old Cantonese porridge. So if you’re looking for it, now inside a coffeeshop at Blk 107 Jalan Bukit Merah. It has been relocated to 107 Coffeeshop at Blk 107 Jalan Bukit Merah. So if you’re looking for this really good porridge place go there. I love the thick fish slices, watercress and minced meat balls. Of course the smooth and creamy porridge.

Unique nostalgic taste – best cross breed between Cantonese/Teochew style porridge, Rail Corridor Access (Tiong Bahru / Henderson Park) short distance away, good breakfast idea!

Customer Reviews:

Ryan JM Tan
If you look at the battle scars of the chef and the walls, this is the porridge made using very high heat and lots of stirring. Tasty and creamy mixed porridge; generous with ingredients, added on youtiao from another store! Good teamwork and coordination.

Augustine HG
One and only porridge around this market. Meat balls are tastefully marinated and soft to chew. Porridge texture is the “sticky” kind. The standard is consistent over the years athough the prices already increased 50 cents. Perfect comfort food.

Wei Xin
Best porridge in bedok north. I usually go for the century egg porridge. There are lots of mincemeat and century egg. And it’s only price at $3.50. Definitely worth a try!

8. Weng Kiang Kee Porridge

For all things Hainanese porridge, Weng Kiang Kee Porridge is the gold standard. Each bowl is cooked individually and stirred continuously by the owner himself, so yes, you’ll wait a little, but it’s so worth it. 

If you want to go big right off the bat, order the Signature Porridge. This dish looks unassuming at first glance but is secretly stacked with chewy lean pork, savoury minced pork balls, and crunchy, fresh liver. Their Triple Egg Porridge is also a hit among regulars, with a salted egg yolk that adds a rich, briny pop of flavour when you mix it in. Prefer something classic? The Sliced Fish Porridge with tender toman fish, crispy you tiao, and zesty ginger is comfort food at its finest.

Prices:

• Signature Porridge: $6
• Mixed Pig’s Organ Porridge: $5.50

Customer Reviews:

Nancy
Superbly made porridge. The consistency and flavors were perfect. The best comforting and healing meal. There is a little wait for your order, but it’s worth it. The couple running this stall were friendly. Prices very reasonable. A little hard to find. I’d definitely come back.

Augustine Chua
Found this store nestled In a small corner of Chinatown Complex by chance. The porridge taste the same as those from high end tim sum restaurants! Great food and a friendly team!

Justin Teo
Really good porridge! Thick, and doesn’t turn watery. Lots of ingredients. The man was stirring the porridge (individually, upon order) in the pot over fire, to manually break down the starch to create the stickiness. Very labourious process, but the result was worth it. Service very good too. Enjoyed chatting with the auntie!

9. Mun Zuk

Mun Zuk (满粥) is for the girlies who like their congee extra thick and extra rich. Their broth is simmered for hours daily until it’s loaded with collagen, so honestly, this might be the closest thing to a beauty treatment you’ll find in a bowl. The mixed pork congee is a fan favourite, with handmade meatballs, tender lean meat, pig’s liver, and crispy fried intestines. 

For those who want something more seafood-forward, The Four Treasure Seafood Porridge has you covered with its generous amount of prawns, lalas, cuttlefish, and fish slices. Should you find yourself wanting something a bit fancy, go for the Aburi Iberico pork collar and indulge a smoky, caramelised twist on classic congee. And don’t sleep on the freshly fried you tiao that comes with set meals — crispy, oily, and absolutely worth it.

Prices:

• Fish & Cuttlefish Congee: $7.50++
• Shredded Chicken Congee: $6.80++
• Popcorn Chicken Congee: $7++
• Hard Sliced Pig’s Liver Congee: $7

Highlights:

• Thick collagen-rich congee simmered daily

• Set meals include freshly fried extra-long you tiao

JLYH
Super yummy and thick congee. I wasn’t expecting much from the looks of the porridge which we dapaoed, but the taste and texture blew us away. We had the shredded chicken congee and the pork meatballs sliced pork congee. Both were fantastic, the pork congee was slightly tastier and my young kids both preferred it. I’ve been craving congee from this stall since. It’s not cheap but taste is totally worth it. Highly recommend.

Fajar Priyanto
I like to have porridge here. In a mall, clean, aircon, still affordable price, and lots of selection. I especially like the mixed pork for $6. It comes with liver, pork meatballs, sliced intestines, meat, and fried crispy intestine. And a youtiao. Enough to make you full. All ingredients are fresh. Bonus: the porridge is piping hot. So you need to blow air on your spoon to cool it. If you need chili, bring it yourself, like i did.

Ferdi
A great porridge spot, perfect for rainy days. I usually go for the mixed pork—minus the liver, plus extra fish slices. The lean meat’s tender and juicy, and the fried intestines give a nice crunch, though with a slight but tolerable smell. The set comes with a long, freshly fried youtiao—a must-have! Super crispy and worth every oily bite. This time, I tried the aburi iberico pork collar after hearing someone order it. It was tender, lightly caramelised, and had a lovely smoky aroma. Food’s served to your table, but grab your own chilli padi.
