2 Reviews for “Oasis Taiwan Porridge Restaurant ” - Restaurants

The oasis taiwan porriage has moved from its familiar site neat indoor stadium to 303 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh . Friends who are not familiar with Toa Payoh might find it difficult to find but one landmark near it is the swimming pool. Makes you wonder why they locate there.
Despite the inconvenience, the last time i went there for dinner, there was a large crowd probably due to the fact that it was a sunday. Nevertheless, we can see that it is as popular as before despite it expanding to a 2 storey high restaurant.
The ambiance though is not as nice as that at the stadium. Was brightly lit but much less spacious then before. The stairs the the second level was quite a squeeze if theres more than one person moving on it. But the service was very efficient.
Ordered the same few dish that we also do which includes :
Pomfret with Black Bean sauce. This is thier signiture dish. No matter how we tried cooking this at home, theirs always taste so much better. The fist is very crispy and the sauce blends very well with the fish. A must have !
Kong Ba: Might have too much fats for those lean meet eater but its still very nice. Goes well with the porriage
Hong Xao Toufu: Very nice sauce and very well done toufu.
And of cos the signature dish of sweet potato porridge which is served in a pot! A unique and traditional experience i would say.
The place is quite pricey though. Would suggest people on budget NOT to go there. Leave it for special occasions especially for people who like Chinese food.
Would advice to go early don't wanna wait too long.

In my bid to bade a warm farewell to this 2 decades old iconic landmark of the Oasis (which happens to be closing soon), I visited on a warm weekday evening ladened with much nostalgia from my good old childhood days.
Nothing much has changed since I can last remember, save for some minor refurbishments and facelifts here and there. The interior is still as warm as ever, even with air conditioning.
Beancurd with Shrimp - The shrimps didn't taste particularly fresh while the tofu was small and tasteless. Add overly salty gravy to the equation and you get a below average dish for the price ($7).
Preserved Vegetable Omelette - The egg was overly fried as evident from the charred bits along the edges but the preserved vegetables weren't too salty, which was something I personally liked.
Bean Sprouts - Nicely fried with bits of salted fish in it to give it taste. However it did seem a little too oily and salty.
Stewed Pork - The stewed pork aka Mei Cai Kou Rou, was an off menu item and tasted decent at best. It didn't help that the meat was a tad too dry as well. Did I mention that it was expensive ($10) as well for the tiny serving?
I honestly don't know what to make of this place. The food is average and prices are astronomical. 1 meal here can buy me at least 2 equally if not more satisfying meals at the teochew porridge stall near my house. The only reason I can think of why people still patronise this place is nostalgia. After all, this place has been around for decades.

I only like the Gong Bao Ji Ding. :) I guess it is more of the nostalgia :)
