Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: Tiong Shian Porridge Centre in Novena is a budget-friendly option for Chinese porridge and fish soup.

Reviews highlight the pork porridge for its consistency and flavour, suggesting it's a reliable choice.

The fish head noodle hotpot, while once lauded as 'legendary,' has seen some inconsistency in quality over the years, though recent feedback indicates an improvement.

We note that the fish soup generally contains cooking wine, which some appreciate.

While the overall Google rating is 3.9/5, the sentiment suggests a comforting, no-frills meal rather than a destination dining experience.

Service has reportedly improved post-COVID.

We'd consider this a solid choice for a casual, inexpensive meal, particularly if you're in the Whampoa Drive area and craving a warm bowl of porridge.
