Jwee Chup Choke!

Pig's organs porridge (Jwee Chup Choke) at Chinatown is so so goood!!!! The place to go is Tiong Shan Porridge at the junction of Eu Tong Sen and Kiong Saik Street (KS). KS is also known for "other" stuff but let's focus on the porridge for now.....

The pig's organs porridge served there is different from your regular fare but very similar to the famous one at the Tiong Bahru market (though my mum says they're getting very stingy over there nowadays). Very generous helpings of pigs organs and cuttlefish (I have no idea what part of the pig that's supposed to be...), especially the fried small intestines! That stuff is so tasty! I think the one at Tiong Bahru market has fried large intestines too though, but considering that Tiong Shan Porridge is so generous with the other organs, I guess that can be forgiven. I finished two bowls, which is really quite a bit for dinner....

I wonder why dubious places like KS and GL are also known for their good food? Guess maybe the original reason was that patrons needed to get some replenishment after their orrr eee orr.... No wonder Joo Chiat, which has some pretty damn good food, is also starting to attract dubious businesses!
