Ban Heng Teochew Porridge

Located beside Kopitiam, Ban Heng Teochew Porridge is a new addition to the wide variety of food offerable at Northpoint. The dishes offered at Ban Heng looks very very attractive under the spotlights and they all look extremely delicious with a wide variety of choices. There are 2 types of porridge to choose from, sweet potato porridge or plain porridge. 

For dinner today, we ordered 2 types of porridge to accompany the dishes. We ordered 5 dishes in all: sweet and sour fish, sauteed mushrooms, braised cabbage, braised eggplant and fried taukwa with minced meat. 

The food are all very tasty and with very homecook feel, especially for the fried taukwa with minced meat. Tasted so much like how my granny would cook it. The sweet and sour fish is also very fresh and soft. All so good with the chilli accompanying with it. 

These 5 dishes with the 2 porridges cost $16.60 in total. A little pricey but more worthwhile than the teochew porridge at Havelock. We enjoyed the dishes here much more. Do come Ban Heng to try but must come early to avoid the crowd as seats are limited.

AOne Claypot House at Star Vista

AOne Claypot House serves premium claypot dishes and porridge with Singaporean homecook food style. With many outlets located across Singapore, AOne Claypot House offers a wide variety of congee, noodles and rice items to choose from. 

Located on 1st floor of Star Vista, AOne Claypot House can be easily spotted opposite the escalator. We were showed to our table by friendly staff. Order has to be written on the ordering sheet by yourself and the servers will come around confirming your dishes. Here's our dinner menu for today:

1. Deep fried pumpkin and lotus root with salted egg - priced at $14.90. Pieces of lotus root and pumpkin were fried in thick batter and stir fried with salted egg sauce. It was dry with not much salted egg taste. A little disappointing with the dish. Rating: 3/5


2. Dried scallop, cuttlefish and shredded chicken congee - priced at $11.90. Served in claypot, this dish is enough to be shared with 2 persons. The congee was thick and could see big pcs of rice grain. Would have prefer the congee from Crystal Jade which tasted much smoother. Rating: 3.2/5


3. Deep fried seabass in HK style - priced at $18.80. This was a special promo for OCBC card holders. Originally the dish is priced at $28.80. The fish was fresh and fried very crispily. It was drizzled with soy sauce and lots of shredded ginger and parsley. A dish worth trying. Rating: 3.8/5


4. Char siew bun - priced at $2.20. Another daily promo by the restaurant. The buns are fluffy with char siew filling. Comparable to other dim sum restaurants. Rating: 3.5/5


We have yet to try their rice dishes but in terms of porridge, we would personally prefer others.

Joo Seng Teochew Porridge at Cheong Chin Nam Road

I was down with stomach flu for 2 days. After eating pure plain food for these 2 days, anything slightly tasty would definitely satisfy my craving. 

Finally gotten to eat a little more solid food today so we went out to continue with our food exploration after 2 days of home eating.

Since deep fried and spicy food is out of my choice, we dropped by Joo Seng teochew porridge at Cheong Chin Nam Road for something healthier yet tasty food. There wasn't a huge crowd yet when we reached ard 6pm. 

We ordered 6 dishes in all: sweet and sour pork, braised cabbage, fried beansprouts, braised tau pok, ngoh hiang and braised tau kee. The food portion was more generous as compared to Lim Joo Hin at Havelock road. 

The food was tastier and overall cheaper as well. For these 6 dishes with 2 bowls of porridge, it costs us $18. The must try dishes include the braided tau pok and cabbage. 

The tau pok was soaked with the flavourful gravy and you could taste the spice with every bite. 

The braised cabbage was so soft that it simply disintegrated in our mouths.

The sweet and sour pork was another recommended dish. 

So tenderly fried with homecook sauce. Simply awesome! Given our next round of visit when my tummy is better, I would definitely try their deep fried fish dishes and also their dried chilli shrimps.
