Hungry Onion (klyeoh) hungryonion.org 07 Oct 2025

The version here was breathtakingly flavorsome - the fish broth having been obtained from hours of boiling down fish-bones, pork bones, dried scallops, ginger, and other “secret” aromatics.

Really satisfying seafood porridge. The porridge was warm, comforting and full of flavour, with a generous amount of seafood and other ingredients. Everything tasted fresh, and the portion was filling without being too heavy.

Love this place. First time visiting. Ample space in and outside. Fast and prompt services. Flexible in request to adjust the menu. I switched the crab porridge to crab beehoon/flat noodles. It tastes fantastically delicious.

They served very fresh seafood with affordable price point. Service is beyond what a place like this usually provide. Very kind & honest. We ordered a few dishes to go with rice & they told us they only have seafood porridge or soup…

This is first time for us here. The few dishes we tried it is so excellent. Seafood is top notch fresh even the baby octopus. Pricing is very fair and portion is good. They have menu with picture of the dishes. We will surely return.

Nice seafood porridge. If you don't like porridge, simply change to bihun or noodle. The baby octopus is a must-order dish, served with special source. Truly delicious and unforgetful.

Famous among the locals. Signature dish is the seafood and crab porridge, which is pretty tasty. Fishball is interesting but lacks tastes. Good service

Steamed Baby Octopus and Crab Porridge was really nice. Octopus were crunchy in the best of ways and Crab was fresh and tasty. Fish balls aren't special. Crab Porridge was very pricey.

Octopus is fresh. Fried tofu is served hot and crispy. Prawn is fresh and big too. Porridge is full of seafood flavour, tastes sweet and refreshing, feeling like eating something like home. Price is quite affordable.
