During first quarter of 2018, I visited Crystal Cafe for their famous Taiwanese Porridge Buffet. Now we are turning to Teochew Porridge At Spice Brasserie which also offers it as a buffet too.
As a Teochew, I grew up eating porridge. And in our family, there’s always porridge as an option for breakfast and even for lunch. This has become a comfort food for me, especially on rainy days.
