Botak Cantonese Porridge

We think the strength lies in its smooth, velvety texture and fresh ingredients.

The $4.80 Mixed Porridge is a standout, frequently praised for its tender sliced meat, homemade pork balls, generous cuttlefish, and perfectly cooked liver.

The fried fritters (you tiao) are often highlighted for being crisp and not overly oily, complementing the porridge well.

However, some experiences note that protein portions, like the four slices of fish in the $5.50 Sliced Fish Porridge, can feel a bit sparse for the price, especially when adding minced pork for an extra $1.30.

While the porridge is generally hearty, a $6.80 bowl might feel less value-for-money compared to other lunch options on good weather days.

We'd recommend it for a satisfying and traditional meal, particularly on cooler days.

Be mindful of the sodium content if that's a concern.

Worth a visit if you're in the area and craving a well-executed bowl of congee.
