Was talking to a friend on my blog and she suggested having a post on coffee shop food. Hence my dear readers, here's presenting my first dive into a coffee shop food post.
Hidden amongst the HDB blocks at Whampoa, Tiong Shian Porridge Centre serves a variety of porridge and add on dishes for the hungry eater.
So what makes them stand out from the crowd? Or more directly, why should you patronize them?
Well apart from the usual porridge dishes, one can expect to order other exotic dishes such as frog legs and fried intestines!!
Being adventurous vultures, we order both the frog legs and fried intestines.
dried chilli frog leg
$16 for two frogs / $8 for one frog
Crunchy yet succulent, this frog leg dish did not fail me. The meat was chewy and it wasn't mushy or stale. If you one who is particular about getting fresh frogs, this is one place to check out.
Fried intestines (What you normally eat in Kway Chap but FRIED)
$4
I'm honestly not a fried intestine fan but my dinner companion seemed to be enjoying this dish loads. The crispy texture was similar to biting into a fried piece of keropok, just that it was fried intestines this time around.
Stir fried Vegetables
$4.50
As the saying goes, we always need a little bit of greens in our daily diet. I liked the oyster sauce as it masked away the usual bitter vegetable taste. The stalks were also crunchy which gave it an added bonus.
Century Egg chicken slice porridge with a mixture of fried intestines poured in
$5 bowl
The porridge is cooked cantonese style so expect a thick broth unlike the watery teochew style. We had a myriad of ingredients swimming in our porridge and that added to the tastiness of the dish.
