Teo Heng Teochew Porridge @ Amoy Street

1. Steamed Fish | 2. Braised Duck | 3. Fishcake and Sotong
4. Pork Belly | 5. Happy Uncle | 6. Teo Heng Stall

glutTAN Gong Gong and Po Po have been patronizing this stall for more than 20 years. As Teochews, we really enjoy the Teochew fare here, which while simple, is really authentic and tasty. A definite favourite for warm home style comfort food. The stall is now helmed by the 2nd generation - the friendly uncle & wife team who always asks why we haven't been there in so long whenever they see us.

The fish is freshly bought everyday and cleaned thoroughly before being steamed. Even the stomach is cleaned, ensuring that there is no fishiness. The fish is steamed perfectly and the meat is really soft and fresh! The chye buay or kut chye (as grandpa Tan calls is, I can't figure out what he's really saying) on top, is really yummy too! They also pour some soup over the fish to keep it warm when served. The Braised Duck and Pork Belly, are cooked in a braised lou (sauce), a recipe that has been perfected over the years. A must try at the stall is the braised egg - which has a perfect watery yolk (no pictures as they ran out by lunch time).

Most of the items are usually sold out by 1pm, especially with the huge lunch crowd. If you're able to, go in the morning as they serve breakfast too! There are less people so you can 1. get a seat, 2. have a full menu to choose from, 3. chat with the uncle and enjoy your leisurely breakfast.

Bill for 4 of us came up to SGD$60-$70, including the fresh steamed fish.
