Looking for Supper places?

Had dinner at Gu Zao Ren and it was a satisfying old-school zi char experience overall. The caipoh hor fun was comforting and well-executed, with a nice wok-fried aroma and savoury cai poh that added depth without being overly salty. The oyster omelette had crispy edges with a soft, eggy centre, and the oysters were fresh and generous. We also enjoyed the baby kailan with scallops, the vegetables were crunchy and not overcooked, while the scallops were tender and naturally sweet. The prawn paste chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, with a fragrant har cheong flavour that wasn’t overpowering. To round things off, the salted egg pork ribs were rich and indulgent, with a creamy salted egg sauce that coated the ribs evenly without being cloying. Overall, a solid spot for hearty zi char with good flavours and decent portions, great for group dinners or family gatherings when you’re craving comforting Chinese classics.

Heard great things about this zichar place so brought my friend to try some for dinner. Was surprised by how packed the place was on a Wednesday night! Food was very comforting and i strongly recommend the cockles! Staff were friendly and helpful too. Overall really nice experience and will probably bring my parents here to try sometime!

had a lovely dinner at gu zao ren taiwan porridge recently and thoroughly enjoyed my meal there! we ordered the sweet potato porridge, fried shrimp paste chicken, salted egg pork ribs, baby kailan with scallops, chai poh horfun and oyster omelette. every dish was good, but my favourite has to be the baby kailan! it was perfectly cooked in this fragrant garlic sauce and paired so well with the scallops. i highly recommend coming here if you’re craving zichar at an affordable price!

a good place for family dinner or supper as the variety of dishes will ensure everyone has something they like. however, food was rather pricey, especially the vegetables.

Incorporated in October 2007, this stall boasts a good variety and range of dishes, being known as having 'something for everyone'.

Worth the money for it’s taste, price and portion sizes :) Will return

Food was delicious but portion can be bigger. Good and clean environment, fast and friendly service.

Really enjoyed the French beans and Har Cheong kai especially. will return asap No rocky

The food is decent, but not nearly as good as any of their equivalent at local restaurants or hawker centres - satay, kueh pie tee, laksa, nasi lemak, char kway teo,teh tarik, etc - at triple the price because you have to pay for the nice environment.

Service is friendly but very slow. The advantage of that is you can linger on and chat without any pressure for additional consumption.

food is good. free flow porridge is good. price a little higher but taste is fine. good for family dinner
