Gu Zao Ren Seafood Taiwan Porridge (Changi Road)

I had a delightful dining experience at Gu Zao Ren, which offers a diverse array of dishes to choose from. Among the selections, I highly recommend the cereal prawns, hot plate tofu, and chai poh omelette, all of which are must-try items at this establishment. The cereal prawns were not only generous in portion but also fresh and cooked to perfection. The hot plate tofu was a standout, blending a variety of ingredients with soft, melt-in-your-mouth tofu. The chai poh omelette, though small in appearance, delivered incredible flavor—crispy on the outside with a soft, creamy interior. Despite its simplicity, the dish was wonderfully satisfying. In terms of service, the staff were friendly, responsive, and efficient, even with a busy crowd. Overall, I highly recommend this spot for larger groups, as their portions are notably more generous than typical zi char places, without compromising on quality.

Home-style dishes that hit the spot. I had the chaipoh omelette, peeled cereal prawns, and hotplate tofu—all full of flavour and done right. The cereal prawns were a standout, crispy and fuss-free.

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!
