It’s easy to dismiss Empress Porridge for simply the type of food it serves. Hidden at a section in NUH Medical Centre, this family-owned business serves up tasty gruel with loads of ingredients that you may want to come back for more.

As consumers are more health-conscious these days, the porridge is actually mixed with brown and white rice porridge, cooked with dried scallops, shrimps, peanuts and all kinds of tasty goodies. The story of how Empress Porridge came about happened when friends and churchgoers urged the Mr and Mrs Goh to open a stall for their delicious porridge. Now, there are two outlets, the other being at Fusionopolis.

There are several options in the menu and throughout the years, Empress Porridge also offers tinkgkat food services as well as steamboat porridge - sounds fun!

Signature

2pcs Empress Popiah, Empress Porridge, Famous Fried Porridge w Bacon & Chives, Pork Trotter Braised Bee Hoon Set

I ordered the signature Empress Porridge and it came with mixed brown and white rice porridge, braised peanuts, scallops, cuttlefish, dried shrimps, and you tiao, a must-have for thick porridge like this. It is a little pricey compared to other porridge bowls in the market, but I’d say it was very worth it. Not only are they generous with the portions (I ate it for both lunch and dinner), there are loads of ingredients inside that will satisfy the hungry souls.

I appreciate that it was mixed with brown rice at least I felt that I was eating healthy. As the porridge was cooked with a myriad of seafood, it was no surprise that it tasted really good and flavourful to the point I would say there was a little hint of umami taste in it as well! It was a hearty and delicious savoury meal you wouldn’t associate it with patients being forced to finish it.
