The Salted Plum Reopens With Popular Purple Porridge, XL Chicken Chop And More

The Salted Plum reopens near Clarke Quay MRT Station

If you’re a big fan of The Salted Plum, you’ll be happy to know that they have reopened after closing their shutters back in December 2020. The popular Taiwanese-inspired restaurant is now located along North Canal Road, a five-minute walk from Clarke Quay MRT Station.

Their signature Purple Porridge ($3++) has made a comeback, though there’s also a Seafood Porridge ($38++) option that’s worth sharing. The latter comprises smooth porridge infused with sweet potato, studded with loads of seafood: tiger prawns, clams, and squid.

There’s also their 10 Hour Lu Rou ($25++), starring uber-thick pork belly in a flavourful braise. This goes perfectly with a bowl of porridge or Shiny Rice with Pork Bits ($1.50++) AKA pearl rice with lard.

Another must-order side is the XL Chicken Chop with Plum Sauce ($15++), where crispy chicken cutlet is topped with a piquant plum sauce, then finished with plum powder for an extra tang. Otherwise, consider getting their Crab Omelette ($22++) or Burnt Chilli Chicken ($20++) to share!

Good news for those working in the area: The Salted Plum offers affordable lunch sets under $20++ that are available from Monday to Friday, 11am to 2:30pm. These include Braised Pork Rice ($13.80++), Burnt Chilli Chicken with Rice ($13.80++), Squid Fried Rice ($15++), and Steak Fried Rice ($15++).
