根叔美食世家 - Gen Shu Mei Shi Shi Jia

Another great discovery from Leslie Tay - this small stall in Toa Payoh is a seriously good value-for-money place. We had read so much about it that when we finally had the chance to go there for lunch, we were pretty excited and were determined to try as many dishes as we could stomach 2 hours after eating lor mee and wanton mee at Tiong Bahru.

We decided to try 3 items - the yam cake, the pork ribs with rice, and the boat style porridge.

The husband declared this as the best yam cake in Singapore. It was soft, slightly bouncy and extremely flavourful with a really tender and moist texture.




I had the boat style porridge, or tang zai zhok. The texture of the porridge was very creamy, although not quite as fine as say, Crystal Jade. But a good bowl nonetheless - it was easy to gulp down, and we didn't get the usual post-porridge MSG-induced thirst after lunch.  

This has to be the winning dish - steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce on rice. I would go back in a heartbeat for the super tender pork ribs that were not too salty, with the run-off flavouring and infusing the rice. Almost perfect.
