I recently tried out this Korean eatery called J-story @ Capitol Building, Singapore. The waitress explained that "J" stood for "juk", which is Korean for "porridge".
I saw this item called Chicken Cheese Porridge on the menu and thought that I just had to try it, because it sounded like hearty comfort food, the way cheese macaroni is to the Americans.
In brief, it tasted like cream of chicken soup, porridge version. I suppose the cheese taste blended into the chicken broth taste, which is understandable as cream of chicken does taste cheesy on its own.
A bonus was the biscuit topping... normally, you wouldn't think to top porridge with biscuits I suppose - talk about carbs upon carbs. But it was a surprisingly good combination as it reminded me of how we top our local porridge (or even Cantonese congee) with crispy Chinese donuts (油条 you2 tiao2).
They also loaded it with shredded chicken, broccoli and I think some carrots. So yeah, it really was what I had expected when I thought of hearty comfort food.
The other porridge on the menu that I wanted to try was pumpkin porridge. Next time around, I guess.
