Wolf Bargain(Teo Heng Porridge Stall)

-

 


Since the start of Covid 19, everyone is banned from singing karaoke in a public entertainment outlet. The consolation is to have a similar sounding name of Teochew porridge. This Teochew porridge at Hong Lim Food Centre share the same name as the karaoke music box, Teo Heng. The hawker stall is unremarkable, hide in a cold corner on first level of the food centre. One would probably miss the stall if you got quick feet. The Teochew porridge is one of the most authentic. I like it for its purest form. No fancy stir fried, no deep fried food, no other things that was not supposed to be associated with Teochew porridge can be found.   





(The heavenly tasty “Kat Kat” fish)

Fish and braised foods with dark soya sauce dominate the display shelf. The highlight of our order is boiled “Kat Kat”fish(similar sounding name as Kit “Kat”). I was told it was rarely available. I ask the stall owner what is the official name in English and Mandarin. He say” I don’t know” but he mention the fish make a “kat kat” sound when caught. The fish is very tasty, it is as good as eating it fresh out of the sea. It is cooked in a pot of boiling water. The meat is smooth white, no fishy smell, one could taste the freshness of the ocean. It is quite meaty for a small fish, very few bones. The topping of preserved sour vegetables elevated the taste of the fish to another level. Simply Shiok!



(Best chilli for Teochew porridge)


Fish Cake, Braised Meat and Eggs, Tau Pok, two bowls of porridge round up our order($18). Steamed Sotong and braised duck are worth a try too. The white vinegar garlic chilli deserve special mention . Mildly spicy, the sour taste coming from the white vinegar took away the oiliness and whip up my appetite for more porridge. The Teochew porridge is an all weather comfort food. Rain or shine it will improve anyone appetite. The stall can be very busy during lunch hours, one could see many people from all walks of life congregated near the stall. Before 11.30 am is my suggested timing to go. Great food can now come without the guilt. Now We can all sing along to the tune of good food without the karaoke.

  (Image credit The Star Media) (Swamp of people going into Shenzhen) Bye Singapore! Hi Malaysia, 2026 This write-up was inspired by a video posted on YouTube. The video talks about Hong Kong hollowing out by Shenzhen. The recent phenomenon of Hong Kongers going to Shenzhen to play, eat and stay is gathering pace with close to 2 millions making the crossing to Shenzhen during the recent Easter Holiday. That is close to 30% of the current HK population leaving for Shenzhen. With deflation taking root in China, things are much cheaper in Shenzhen. The poor economy in HK is another push factor with Hong Kongers trading down their consumption. One traveller from HK mentions his spending in the mainland only cost him 1/3 of the usual price he paid in Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are shopping at Sam’s Club in Shenzhen buying everything from groceries to electronics. The commentator interviewed restaurants and shop owners in HK, most experienced a 30% drop in sales during the holiday.  *The video

  (Credit: Yahoo Finance; Last index high of 3900 in 2007, 16 years and counting. Lost decade of Singapore Market) I spent two nights thinking about this write up since it is a subject close to my heart. The passion and concern I had for our stock market are real. I hope SGX can see my commentary in a positive light. It is about solving problem that matters, no witch-hunting was intended. During my last monthly update. I am critical about SGX for not doing enough to promote the vibrancy of our stock market. After the blog, I have been getting more SGX senior executives looking at my LinkedIn profile. I hope people at SGX can see it as constructive criticism. I want to make my point of view clear before anyone get an impression that I am grinding my axe on our stock market. I love Singapore market, I am also a bull on Singaporean companies. How could I not love our stock market where I allocate most of my investment? The declining interest in our stock market did not happen overnight, i

Without knowing a word of French or local culture, she embarked on a difficult journey of communicating with her colleagues and clients, in which it resulted in miscommunication and her being the butt of the joke. Emily assumed everyone in Paris could or wanted to communicate in English. She was forced to learn the language in class so as to communicate well with her colleagues and clients. It is important to understand the language of choice in the area one operates so as to be able to communicate effectively i
