Porridge & Things offers authentic Chinese food with amazing porridge at great value. They specialize in a wide variety of porridge and have many other dishes to choose from, including lobster noodles, fried mantou, vegetable and seafood dishes, chives pancakes, and fish paste balls with watercress soup. The restaurant has a nice and bright ambiance with TVs showing sports and Chinese channels. The food is solid, not too salty, and full of flavor. Customers appreciate the unique dishes that are not typically found in other Chinese restaurants, and the seafood, especially crab and ong Chong, is praised for being delicious and full of umami. The place is especially popular on cold and rainy nights, with many returning for their porridge and seafood. Although the restaurant isn't the cleanest looking and service can be inconsistent, the good ambiance and attentive service during visits make it worth trying. Parking might be harder to find during dinner time, and it can be crowded in the evening, but the food and atmosphere keep visitors coming back. Overall, Porridge & Things remains a recommended spot for Chinese cuisine that caters to various tastes.
