Soon Lee Porridge specializes in Hainanese porridge and offers just three options on their menu. Hainanese porridge is often grainier and thicker than Cantonese or Teochew porridge.
Soon Lee Porridge serves up tasty bowls of porridge at wallet-friendly prices, and the long queues and waiting times at any time of the day are a testament to that.
We tried a bowl of porridge without the egg, and I must say that it had more flavour.
It’s definitely heartening seeing young hawkers take up the wok and dedicate their time and efforts to dishing out good ol’ hawker favourites.
Carrot cake here seems to have gotten better. Some charred crispiness with a good amount of crisp chye poh and garlic fragrance mixed in. Not overly black and sweet.
We preferred the char siew rice set. The char siew was not fatty and had an interesting taste which reminded us of lup cheong (dried preserved Chinese sausages).
To be honest, the 3 dishes on the menu were the regulars all time favourite. The taste of Prawn Noodle was traditional with 4 small prawns in a bowl, lean meat, fishcakes. If you are looking for traditional Prawn Noodle taste with a decent prawn broth, this will fit the bill.
For the ultimate enjoyment, it is best to have your fritters on the spot while it is still hot but despite packing it home to eat more than an hour later, the batter remains crisp without being oily. This is evident in the paper bag that does not show any traces of grease.
The entire ayam penyet was overwhelmed with sweet kicap manis rojak sauce. The chicken was not bad in terms of crispness and texture (although a bit dry), and the peanuts added some bite and texture.
Apart from orh luak, they sell orh nerng (oyster and egg without the corn starch slurry) and fried carrot cake here as well so do give them a try.
This glutinous rice bun sells like hot cakes so you have to come really early before it gets sold out for the day. I believe it is also due to Xi De Li not making as much glutinous rice bun as the other fritters like the ham chim peng and yew char kueh.
Fresh and tender fish, in lightly savoury and tasty soup.
