Uncle Lim 香港粥 (Hong Kong Porridge)

Since the famous Uncle Lim HK Porridge has moved up from the second to the third floor, I decided it was time to check out the new spot — and turned it into a casual weekend breakfast date with Mr Hubby. They are open as early as 8:30 AM daily (except Mondays), perfect for early risers chasing that comforting bowl of Cantonese-style porridge. The service crews are attentive, and quick to clear the tables despite the limited seating. I went for mixed pork porridge with an add-on of century egg, while Mr Hubby opted for egg toast paired with a classic hot teh C. A small but notable upgrade: no more flimsy plastic spoons! They now serve with proper glass spoons, giving a more traditional and classic touch. However, the mall felt warm and stuffy without air-conditioning, and I found myself sweating halfway through breakfast. While the toilets were being cleaned, so I had to wait it out until they finished. As for the food, it was comforting but average — smooth porridge with familiar flavours, nothing that particularly wowed the taste buds though. Perhaps the charm lies not in the taste but in nostalgia, a comforting reminder of family breakfasts and simpler days. A humble breakfast spot for those craving a taste of tradition — come for the nostalgia, not the novelty. Kthxbye.
