yes, ks2me. congee, but its pronounced chok right? the ones at crystal jade are nice but I'm just wondering if any kopitiam or food centres have them.


just curious, wat kind of rice to you use to cook congee?

Yes \"chok\" is correct or jhok.

If you use normal rice, you add glutinous rice.

If you use calrose rice, you can use on its own but add more water and less rice grains because it can become too thick.

Yes now I remember the famous one... At Maxwell market, long long queue, they sell congee of all sorts.

Errr, my MIL used to buy it at a provision store and cook porridge for my DS when he's a baby, she tells me its pearl rice :? ... but it actually looks like calrose rice to me though - short and round grain...

...., I typically go to the Havelock place in the night for such porridge.

I used to go there too but stopped since a couple of years back. The standard seemed to have dropped then.

How is it now?

Agree, the Chai Chee Pork Porridge stall sells great-tasting porridege!! My fave is the \"pei tan\" chok (century egg porridege) - with liver :drool: :lol:
