Soh Kee Cooked Food @ Blk 505 Jurong West Food Centre

And so, Jurong West 505 Market & Food Centre has finally reopen after three gruelling months of renovation works. The food centre section is now cleaner and brighter but contrary to expectations, there are no increase in seating capacity so finding a clean table is still as difficult.

Anyway, three months is too long a time to keep me away from having my favorite porridge at Soh Kee Cooked Food. This stall offer the usual Chicken Porridge ($2), Fish Porridge ($3), Cuttlefish Porridge ($3) and Mixed Porridge ($3) but what most people ordered here is actually their plain porridge with poached chicken.

I love the poached chicken here as the meat is incredibly succulent. Even the breast meat is moist and tender; not tough and fibrous. I particularly like the taste of the meat dipped in the concoction of soy sauce and sesame oil.

The plain porridge that comes with the poached chicken have just the right consistency without being overly thick like Cantonese Jook or runny like Teochew Muay. A big bowl of this plain porridge is only 50 cents.

A personal set starts from $3.50 though we usually go for half a chicken at $10.
