Fodor's Expert Review Tiong Shian Porridge

This humble store on the edge of Chinatown, with its metal chairs and bright strip lights, doesn't look very inviting—until you see the hoards of people waiting to get inside. Congee, or savory porridge, is a popular local dish, and nowhere does it better than Tiong Shian, where thick, hot white rice is served with everything from meatballs to frogs legs. Service is brisk and comfort is minimal but you can be guaranteed a good meal.
