Realized that a few new-to-me outlets of Heng Long Teochew Porridge (興隆潮州糜・飯) have popped up. I was super pleased to see one nearer to me instead of all the way at Tanjong Katong Road. This outlet at North Bridge Road is easy to get to and is perfect for late night dining.
I had another IBS flare from too much alcohol over two nights. I really shouldn't have done that half bottle red. The second day, I had a late lunch with wine, and in the evening, had another glass of wine. The runs started in between. By 10pm, I was hungry and needed food. But I couldn't eat anything too greasy or fried and such. So Teochew porridge worked.
The man wanted a steamed fish tail (a snapper, I think) and his usual items of cabbage, chye buay and hae bee hiam. I was happy with just porridge and salted egg, bittergourd and egg, and bits of the fish tail. Then I spotted pig stomach! I couldn't resist that. Hurhurhur. It was tender and braised in salted vegetables. Nice.
Dinner calmed the stomach. At least I didn't get the runs through the night. There was some major burping going on, but I had boiled up ginger water. A small glass of ginger water at home for 'dessert' did the trick. Maybe the 'rice water' helped too. It's kinda comfort food yet not immensely satisfying. I really don't like rice grains in water. HAHAHAH. But it keeps my stomach happy. So... I'll live.
