Gu Zao Ren Seafood Taiwan Porridge (Changi Road)

Scrumptious zhi-char stall that makes you want to come back again.

We ordered the salted egg prawns, sweet and sour pork, and black pepper beef. All of these dishes surpassed expectations as they were all very well cooked and served quickly.

The staff also worked very fast to get us a table and our orders.

I highly recommend this place, especially for larger groups as they have plenty of tables to accommodate.

Great to enjoy delicious Taiwan porridge with claypot brinjal, salted fish minced meat, oyster egg and tender black pepper beef !

Had a super comforting zichar-style meal with porridge — simple, homely dishes that hit all the right spots. Here’s a quick take on each one:

Prawn paste pork – crispy, juicy, and full of umami. Solid flavour punch.
Omelette with cai poh – fragrant, savoury, and nicely textured with radish bits.
Tieban tofu – soft and comforting with a rich, savoury sauce.
Sambal lala – spicy, fragrant, and fresh. Sambal really shiok.
Stir-fried cabbage – light, crunchy, and slightly sweet. Balances the meal well.
Porridge – smooth and plain, perfect for pairing with all the bold flavours.

Tried Gu Zao Ren Taiwan Food Porridge and it really hit the spot. We had the black pepper beef — the sauce was nice and thick, perfect to go with the porridge. Also got the omelette with cai po which was tasty, and the stir-fried cabbage was fresh and simple, just the way we like it. Service was good too, staff were friendly and fast. Would come back again for a comforting meal!

Had a great dinner here! Enjoyed the dishes we ordered, particularly the claypot tofu, three cup chicken and stir fried cabbage - and all the dishes went really well with the sweet potato porridge.

Out of everything I ordered, the fried pork and sambal lala were definite standouts. The pork was tender, flavourful, and not greasy at all. The sambal lala had a unique twist compared to the usual, but the sauce was so addictive—it kept me going back for more! The other dishes were delicious too, and everything paired perfectly with their chicken rice chilli, which added an extra kick. I went on a Tues and was surprised to see the place packed. I’ll definitely be back to try their chicken rice next time!
