A Food Court Breakfast

We decided to have breakfast in one of the food courts and we had checked out a few online. Having a craving for “proper” congee, we moved to the Albert Food Center, which is practically next to the Bugis MRT station.

After walking around for a bit to check out what the different stalls have to offer, we then stopped at the stall #1-78, Li Fang Porridge, that had quite a selection of congees, including those with more unusual additions like frog meat and pig liver.

The woman and I decided to be boring, so she got herself a mixed scallop congee and I got the mixed pork congee, both of which came with an unsalted doughstick.

Long story short. Those were delicious congees, easily rivalling those we had in Hong Kong. The pork meat was tender, not fatty and there was cut pork, pork liver and a pork meatball in mine while the scallop congee had no chunky pieces in it and was more on the unobtrusive side, yet also excellent.

There was one “downside” and that was the price which was comically “high” compared to the other stalls. While you could get an 8 pack of rice cakes with preserved veggies for S$2.50, the congee here set us back S$5.50 each. For us, still cheap but the price could be the reason there was not a big queue.

Should we find any better congees we will be surprised and rather happy at the same time.
