Lovely place for dinner or supper with zichar dishes that taste like they were home-cooked. Affordable prices and attentive staff made for a pleasant dining experience too!
Honestly the food here is underrated. The claypot chicken was smooth and flavorful. We went all out with the zi char dishes and ordered the omelette, stir-fried cabbage and soup as well. Solid zi char at affordable prices. Portions are generous too. Will be back to try more dishes. 10/10 recommend!
Went on a Monday night around 10am as was craving for something warm. Amazing choice compared to the usual supper places. Must get the cereal chicken so yummy! Sat outside, was cooling at night :) will be back again!
solid supper option in the east. Love the zichar especially the cereal chicken that I canât stop raving about! Other recommendations are the black pepper beef and the seafood tofu!
Solid atmosphere with air-con! Aiyu Jelly Drink was huge and tasty! Taiwanese style porridge, served in plain & sweet potato, a very good base for all the flavourful food!
Ordered their Chicken Rice Set (affordable + yummy) and Sweet & Sour Pork, was very tasty!
Definitely a good go to, service was impeccable to with friendly warm staff.
Filling, warms the tummy and the heart! Love the XL ice lemon tea
Ordered the hot & sour soup, har cheong gai, belacan sambal kangkong, potato porridge and chai poh omelette.
My favourites were definitely the chai poh omelette and har cheong gai. The omelette was fluffy with a slightly juicy centre, and the chai poh gave it that savoury, fragrant bite. The har cheong gai was super crispy, flavourful and really addictive.
The belacan sambal kangkong was also well-seasoned with a nice kick, while the potato porridge had a comforting, homely flavour that balanced out the stronger dishes nicely. Overall, a solid spot for hearty, satisfying dishes to share.
Had a lovely meal of porridge and dishes - the chye po egg was especially yummy. Can't wait to be back here again!
Very satisfying home style food, super efficient service. Long queues from tour groups are cleared in no time. Even non-pork eaters (Muslims, Jews, some Indians) can find their happiness here. Prices have gone up, so no longer cheap but still ok lah.
Stumbled upon this zi char restaurant at kembangan area and gave it a shot since it serves taiwanese sweet potato porridge alongside zi char dishes! the steamed chicken was juicy and the stir taiwan fried pea shoots were also delicious and quite a rare find! chai poh omelette and the minced meat dish paired perfectly with the porridge too! will come back again to try their other items again!
This was a place that brings feelings of comfort home cooked meal ! Really enjoyed the kampong chicken, silky skin and tender meat; getting rare to see ginger paste with chilli âșïž
The fresh cockles were also nice, fresh & briny and addictive. Alll in all, an enjoyable meal you can have with family & friends.
I haven't been to Gu Zao Ren in 9 years, and returning felt like a warm hug. The food is just as authentic and comforting as I remembered! The simple sweet potato porridge pairs perfectly with all their savoury side dishes. The braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens still melts in your mouth, and the stir-fried pork liver is perfectly glazed. I also loved the hotplate egg tofu and the intensely flavourful dark soy-marinated cockles. Highly recommend this spot for a nostalgic, satisfying meal!
