Maxwell Food Centre hawker stall renowned for Cantonese-style porridge and raw fish.
Zhen Zhen Porridge is a beloved hawker stall at Maxwell Food Centre, one of Singapore's most famous hawker destinations. The stall has earned a loyal following for its Cantonese-style porridge, which is cooked to a smooth, silky consistency that distinguishes it from the grainier Teochew version. Diners can choose from a variety of toppings including sliced pork, minced pork, chicken and century egg, all served piping hot in a flavourful broth. Zhen Zhen is also known for its raw fish dish, featuring thinly sliced fish seasoned with sesame oil, ginger and spring onions, a refreshing accompaniment to the comforting porridge. The stall operates with the typical hawker rhythm of brisk service and fresh preparation, drawing long queues during peak hours from both locals and tourists visiting Maxwell. Despite the crowds at the food centre, Zhen Zhen maintains its reputation for consistent quality. It remains a must-visit for anyone seeking a simple, nourishing and authentically Singaporean breakfast or lunch experience in the Tanjong Pagar area.Based on 281 Google reviews

4.5/5. Very good congee. However, there's some misses. Caipoh is overly salty. It's almost like pure salt. Maybe owner forgot to soak it in water. Also, noticed some scales? in the fish. Without the misses it's a 5/5.
