Johor Road Boon Kee Pork Porridge 638 Veerasamy Rd #01-101, Yi He Eating House (Map) 6.45am – 2pm Mon
They had been street food icons since their days along the now defunct Johor Road (transvestite row) over 40 years ago. This is among a handful of authentic Hainanese porridge masters at work. We can only count no more than 10 among the almost 30,000 hawkers in Singapore. The grains come looking a little grungy and rough but are actually soft and smoothened and cooked by the pork stock. The classic pork porridge comes with lean meat, intestines, liver, and meatballs topped with slices of dough fritters or you tiao and punctuated with winter pickles. They make them less salty these days and you salt it up that ubiquitous little soy and pepper holder...at your own peril. They also offer fish, cuttlefish, chicken, and even century egg renditions. Take a number here and expect a 30- minute wait at peak hours, as the singular cook does only two bowls at a time.
