Award-winning Lobster Porridge at Long Xia Zhou Shi Jia
Chen Jingwen | soshiok.com | Sun Dec 19 2010
A lobster porridge can be regarded as one of those luxurious congees made with expensive shellfish like crab and abalone but the chef at Long Xia Zhou Shi Jia didn't go overboard with his award-winning recipe.....gently simmered with boiled rice in a superior stock that had no overkill of chicken, dried scallop or the tomale in the lobster head.....If you are put off by the strong, prawny flavour of French lobster bisque, you might welcome this lobster porridge which didn't give us any oceanic pong.....So it was easy to eat...

Long Xia Zhou Shi Jia @ Orchard Central
Labels: chinese
It sounded decadent. Loster porridge. Located at Level 8 of Orchard Central. We walked in without any reservation on a Saturday afternoon at about 130pm. The friendly waitstaff attended to us immediately and led us to our table by the window.

The soup was very tasty and heavily peppered. Lobster porridge is more like those teochew fish porridge, where it is actually rice + soup served in the same bowl...
Singapore - Incredible Lobster Porridge from Long Xia Zhou Shi Jia
We popped into Long Xia Zhou Shi Jia restaurant in Orchard Central yesterday thinking - gosh, if they actually named their restaurant after their speciality dish, it must be good.
Turned out, the lobster porridge was good. VERY good, in fact!
Other dishes we ordered paled in comparison, but provided nice contrasts in textures & flavors. What we had:
1. The lobster porridge, which is cooked Chiu-chow style, i.e. rice grains in an intensely flavored broth. That said, LXZ does a kick-ass soup broth. For me, it really hit the spot!
2. Stir-fried beans - petai (stinky beans), long beans and okra, in a spicy, Scoville-busting sambal belachan sauce. Heck, this is not just a Chinese restaurant, it MUST be a truly Malaysian/Singaporean Chinese restaurant to offer this!!
3. Crisp-fried lotus root chips, with salted duck's egg yolk & butter sauce.
4. Steamed tofu topped with braised crabmeat-crabroe sauce.

Long Xia Zhou Shi Jia, Orchard Central
This was a totally random visit. Sitting on the grounds of the former Duo Le (181 Orchard Rd #08-09, 6634-7318), these guys specialized in lobster porridge, which looked pretty good from a distance with its yellowish tint and scallion garnish. Besides, they were running a promo of two bowls for the price of one at S$29.90 (US$22.80), so we figured that we'd give it a try.
Fortunately, it worked for me, with a savory yet thin lobster-based soup and a decent chunk of meat in the small lobster half. It was actually more of a Teochew mue rice soup rather than the sludgy Cantonese congee that I was expecting...and I wish they provided more rice at that. But that didn't matter since the broth was the best part of this anyway, even if it wasn't as strongKeisuke's ebi ramen.
