Ah Chiang now owned by the neighbourhood crasslooter who employs an army of Tiongs.
The taste of old is gone. But he got the support of the minions there and clueless sinkies who join the queue so business is still very good.

In the old days under the old owner the porridge stall open very early and the Coffeeshop owner would come only around 8am to sell the drinks/coffee so if you go early eat porridge you’ll have to go drink-less.

I do agree old man's porridge tastes better, however it's still one of the better ones around I think and especially for me coming from Bangkok this is great jok. Anyway they now open from 6am to 11pm according to my goggle info. Here's a excerpt from their facebook page

"Singaporean's popular choice, Ah Chiang's Porridge since 1968! Our current location at Tiong Poh Road was founded in 1971 by Ah Chiang's uncle. In 1995, Ah Chiang took over the business from his uncle and has been towering since.

Ah Chiang's Porridge is dedicated to provide the highest quality porridge and service. Our ingredients are freshly delivered to us daily – fish from Pasir Panjang Fishery Port, and pork from Tiong Bahru Market. Our porridge is prepared using the traditional charcoal cooking method to retain the true taste of Ah Chiang's uncle's original recipe. Since we use premium quality rice grain with natural sweetness, no condiments are added to the porridge."

40 years eating this porridge and really a big problem for me, cos no other porridge even come close. to make matter worst, they ban the raw fish. no raw fish no reason to eat porridge. pic taken 3 years ago before my major surgery.

No this, life no meaning. Hope the ban on raw fish will be lift soon.

This hainanese curry rice at bugis junction basement is not bad and not expensive

$4.30 set consist of a large piece of chicken cutlet which taste as good as pork chop, cabbage, an egg with lots of delicious curry.

Worth.

Wtf! Red tongue dog is one of my only consolation to go back sinking land.

No wonder last trip in may 2016, can drink quite a few bottles of red tongue dog. Must go with sambal tua tao and cuttle fish kang kong. Yummy yummy.

chonburifc · Jan 16, 2018

Bro, zud zud also have in Siam lor. Also call juud juud. Same same but no same.

They dont fried sambal style but just boiled and go with nam jeem sauce. Not aroi.
