If you’re at Joo Seng Teochew Porridge, their braised duck leg is a must-order, with tender meat drenched in a savoury-sweet sauce. Their black bean minced pork also comes highly recommended, tinged with spiciness. In a bid for a more balanced meal, be sure to order their bitter gourd fried with eggs. Here, a meal costs around $12 per person.

Ye Lai Xiang Teochew Porridge took over the space where Ye Shang Hai used to be, providing another Teochew porridge option for those who miss the latter.
