Lion City Geylang Nine Lane Tian Chicken Porridge (North Zhongshan Road Store) - Merchant Reviews

Lion City Geylang Nine Lane Tian Chicken Porridge is known as a 1:1 replica of Singapore's well-known old restaurant, guided by Singaporean chefs, and most of the raw materials are also shipped back from Singapore.

Although the signboard is field chicken porridge, in fact, field chicken and porridge are sold separately, field chicken can choose kung bao or ginger and onion method, small portions of 52 yuan, large portions of 78 yuan. It uses 6 taels of high-quality green-skinned bullfrogs, which are burly and fat; Kung Pao is a little spicy in the sweetness, the sauce is fragrant, and the throat will feel greasy if you eat too much; The ginger and shallots are not spicy and have a salty and fresh flavor, but the sauce of Kung Pao is more suitable for mixing porridge. White porridge is 12 yuan a cup, the amount is enough for 3 people to eat together, boil with fragrant rice and glutinous rice for 4 hours, it is thick but not smooth enough, and the mouth has obvious graininess. Whether it is porridge or field chicken, the taste level can only be regarded as the middle stream, and the amount of field chicken is too small, the small portion can only barely spread the bottom of the plate, and the other frying method is even mini, and there is almost only the amount of one field chicken on the plate, which is not cost-effective at all.

Classic Nanyang dishes such as coffee ribs and oatmeal shrimp are also available on site. The restaurant claims that when making coffee ribs, non-mocha coffee beans are not used, but the taste does not have any coffee aroma, and in terms of dark brown and red color, overflowing oil aroma, and sweet and salty coating, this pork rib is similar to braised pork. Oatmeal shrimp is wrapped in oatmeal imported from Singapore, the freshness of the shrimp needs to be improved, and the taste is slightly loose. Unlike traditional dishes, this dish is not sweet, but salty to the depths of the shrimp. Coincidentally, the previous coffee ribs were also marinated before firing, and the flesh was also very salty, and it was impossible to eat continuously without white porridge. The signature barley water is still authentic, the hard barley and winter melon strips are simmered together until glutinous, the texture is slightly viscous, and the texture is similar to thin porridge, although the sweetness is higher, but it also has a very unified harmony with the heavy taste of the other dishes in the store, which is worth ordering.

When the Lion City Geylang Lane 9 Chicken Porridge first opened, it found a lot of public accounts to promote it, but now the popularity has dissipated, and the customer flow in the store has been relatively cold. Although the price of the signature dish is not low, there is a set menu for two with vegetables and rice and noodles for lunch on weekdays, which is more cost-effective. The in-store service is semi-self-service, and you need to go to the end of the store to open the water to drink. The waiter is more active and enthusiastic when introducing the dishes, but the professionalism is not good, the order of serving is very messy, and the situation of missing orders occasionally occurs. At present, the Zhongshan North Road store is well decorated, with a whole Nanyang style graffiti wall, and the Wener Road store is relatively simple, no different from a general fast food restaurant.
