Unlike Cantonese congee, Singapore’s Teochew porridge is cooked without any broth and is served with a wide array of side dishes and condiments. These are usually cooked with minimal seasoning to retain the natural taste of the side dishes and complement the bland rice porridge.

Over 15 side dishes are prepared on order, including salted egg and braised beancurd. Free flow Teochew porridge and condiments are included. For a complete dining experience, the hotel recommends the Peking Duck set menu for either six or 10 persons, from S$298 and S$428 respectively.
