We ordered:

The fried porridge is the proper Singapore-Chinese tze char specialty:
- Rice cooked into proper congee/porridge texture
- Wok-fried with proper wok hei
- Various toppings: prawns, sliced fish, sometimes pork
- Egg incorporated for proper binding
- The proper “Singapore-Chinese fried porridge” identity
The fried porridge characteristics:
- Sticky-creamy texture from porridge base
- Proper wok hei smoky character
- Multiple protein toppings
- Different from soup-based congee
- The proper “tze char specialty dish”
The Hokkien mee at $6 represents upper-tier hawker / tze char Hokkien prawn mee. Different from budget hawker ($4-5), the $6 tier provides proper substantial portion + quality execution.
At $13 total for the tze char spread, proper coffee shop tze char pricing tier.
