One of my favorite types of comfort food is mixed pork porridge. A bowl of porridge with all the essential sinful ingredients and yet mild enough for a stomach that may not be in the best condition, it is really the quintessential comfort food.
Update 2022: moved & possible closed.
Imbi market mixed pork porridge
Problem is, most of the stalls offering mixed pork porridge operates only in the afternoon or at night. In the afternoon, there’s seksyen 17 and SEApark, and at night, you can head to Jalan Sayur or Taman Cheras, but if you want it for breakfast, Imbi market is your answer.
Located right at the side that also houses the famous Ah Weng Koh Hainanese tea stall, this porridge stall also offers fish ball noodle and even curry noodle, hours are from around 7 in the morning till around noon everyday except on Mondays.
soft bits, crispy bits, delicious bits
This version of mixed pork porridge has most of the essential ingredients on the list – crispy deep fried pork intestine, stomach, pork slices, pork tongue too (I believe). The only thing missing would be coagulated blood, but I shall forgive them for this since the overall taste is still rather good. The congee is smooth and more than delicious enough for breakfast.
if this is not a good start to a working day, I don’t know what is
Oh, when you’re there, be sure to order a glass of Hainanese tea to go with your breakfast.

KY, porridge is great in the morning but cold weather in San Francisco now any time will do.
I like to make my own (jook) porridge on my day off at time. With shredded chicken meat and ground pork and fish paste in it serve with you tau and green onion pancake. Or I make Cantonese duck egg with ground pork (Jook) which so easy. If I shop for more ingredient it would Sampan (jook) lot of seafood in it.
