Eat Street in Jalan Alor

Street food is best enjoyed outside in open air amongst the locals with all the buzz and noise surrounding the food. I missed this in Lot10 and was looking for an alternative.
A short taxi from the Bintang walk is Jalan Alor street where  I saw lots of people and a very different street with many hawker stalls. Locals sitting on plastic chairs outside these rows of hawkers, sipping Beer, the hawkers shouting over themselves with the orders, piping hot food making its way to the plastic tables and a gala time being had by all.
I could see the restaurants offering a mix of Malay and Chinese dishes. Rice & Noodles, soups, porridges, chicken ,Pork, exotic seafood and more..menu seemed endless.
I saw several outlets serving alcohol and could see pretty much every Malay, Chinese and Thai dish imaginable, from grilled fish, satay’s and fried noodles with frogs’ legs. I kept walking all the way to experience the vibrant street looking at the signs and the dishes on the tables.

Eat Street-China Town,Singapore

On one of the early mornings in Singapore, I decided to have Porridge and was ready to head to China Town..specifically to Tiong Shian.
Its a very spacious restaurant , simple in approach and design and always packed..good that it starts early for breakfast and possible to get a table, other times will need a wait.
Mainly frequented by the locals ,Tiong Shian serves many different types of porridge and claypot dishes.

Consider yourself lucky if you manage to get a table within 5 minutes of your entering Tiong Shian during the peak lunch or dinner time.

Or you could jump start your day by going there for breakfast.
Porridge needs no introduction and this is easily the best Porridge meal to start your tour day.
From Plain Porridge to other speciality Porridge with Century eggs, this is one place which will keep getting you back.


Location: Take the MRT to ChinaTown and you will find this opp CK Mall on the New Bridge Road.
