<![CDATA[Congee]]>:? Is this how to spell chok (cantonese for porridge)..not refering to teochew porridge..but the thicker type.


The stall we used to buy from at a kopitiam at junction of everitt rd/joo chiat place is no longer there. They served excellent pork/fish chok.

The porridge at 126 is nice too but I've noticed it turns watery if you dont consume it straightaway.

Anyone knows where I can get delicious pork porridge (with liver, of course)?

My family loves the pork congee from Bedok Blk 216 hawer centre. Smooth congee with pork slices, self-made pork balls, liver/intestine. egg is optional. Other version like century egg with pork is also very good. Try it.

For convenience, I like the tiong bahru porridge at Causeway point food court. Not bad too. 🙂

sakura_2009:

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...
Thanks, sakura.
ksi:
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.
Thanks ksi, ks2me(???)


Does congee become watery if you leave it standing for too long?

schweppes:
Actually, the Chai Chee porridge stall also sells in the mornings too as I've eaten there for breakfast. I think there are 2 branches - one handles the breakfast crowd and the other the evening crowd.

2 branches in the same block isit?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congee

It's derived from a Tamil word!!

mathsparks:
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.

Porridge to me is the teochew porridge(can still see rice grain type) or the ang mo porridge(cereal)

The thick "congee" is the Cantonese style of "porridge".
I usually don’t eat this outside except for tim sum at Crystal Jade and Xin Wang. Prefer to cook such congee at home.

But teochew porridge which needs many dishes to go with, I typically go to the Havelock place in the night for such porridge.
