Gu Zao Ren Seafood Taiwan Porridge - Don’t Underestimate the Porridge

when it comes to casual family dinners at ABC market, one stall that always comes to mind is gu zao ren seafood taiwan porridge. they serve consistently good and reasonably priced dishes, which is the reason why we have been frequenting them for years!

as its name suggests, customers are offered a choice of porridge in addition to rice. the porridge is served with tapioca!

anyway, here’s a sampling of some of our favorite dishes.

Sze-Chuan Chicken with Dry Chili (宫保鸡丁)
Price: $7 onwards
Dish rating:

there’s the flavorful sze-chuan chicken with dry chili, a dish more commonly known by its chinese name, 宫保鸡丁.

Fried Kang Kong Belachan (马来风光)
Price: $5 onwards
Dish rating:

fried kang kong belachan. i’m hardly a vegetable lover so for me to actually like a vegetable dish, it has to be really good!

Sweet & Sour Sliced Fish (糖醋鱼片)
Price: $7 onwards
Dish rating:

sweet and sour sliced fish. now, this is one dish that truly gives you value for money. for just 7 dollars (used to be 6), you are given a generous serving of fish! the lousy photo i took depicting mostly vegetables simply doesn’t do it justice.
