Maxwell Food CentreFirst impressions wise, we were slightly taken aback by the rundown exterior of the stall which was dimly lit in comparison to neighbouring stalls. The 2 stall owners were the representation of a humble business.They coordinated like clockwork. Uncle stayed within the kitchen at the back of the shop and dished out thick congee into red bowls according to the portion purchased.
The generous amount of these toppings were essential in adequately seasoning and providing a refreshing taste to the thick and creamy congee.My dining partner did not like the addition of sliced ginger, but I appreciated its ability to cut through the creaminess of the congee and century egg . The preserved vegetables added bursts of saltiness which pleasantly surprised me.Despite the name of the dish being “shredded chicken”, the chicken was served in chunks, bite sized and super tender.
I would advise customers to quickly eat before the porridge waters down and creates an unpleasant mix with the half-cooked egg. The term ‘no frills’ is most apt in my experience with Zhen Zhen Porridge. I am reconsidering whether porridge should even be named a simple dish after witnessing how many components the 2 stall owners have to prepare beforehand. Like many others, this stall is now my go-to when I am craving a satisfying portion of porridge.
