Michelin-listed Redhill Pork Porridge stall moves to another unit, new stall with same name replaces spot

Recently, diners at Redhill Food Centre have noticed that the hawker centre houses two stalls with the same name in both English and Chinese: Redhill Pork Porridge.

One, located at unit #01-46, has a plain white signboard with its name, and two large red stickers above the menu indicating that it was listed in the Michelin Guide Singapore twice, in 2023 and 2025.

Not far away at unit #01-90, another similar white signboard boasts the same name, but no Michelin Guide stickers.

Both businesses sold Hainanese pork porridge, according to Shin Min Daily News.

But while the Michelin-listed stall only sells pork porridge with some add-ons, the other offers a wider menu that also includes other porridges with sliced fish, chicken, and cuttlefish with peanut.

Replacement stall

The Michelin-listed stall's Facebook page revealed that it was originally set up at unit #01-90, then moved to unit #01-46 on May 1.

Some time later, a new stall opened at #01-90, also named "Redhill Pork Porridge".

According to a Facebook user, they visited the Michelin-listed stall on May 22 and spoke to a lady there.

The user claimed the lady said the original unit was "taken back by the owner, who proceeded to open a porridge stall with the exact same name and product".

The staff of the two businesses also reportedly had a dispute soon after the move.

The manager of the current #01-90 stall told Shin Min that she found her stall's customised bowls and plates missing on May 1.

She accused the team behind the Michelin-listed stall of taking them when they moved to their new location, causing her to spend a few thousand dollars to order new bowls and plates.

She added that she has made a police report.

Confusion

The appearance of two similar-looking stalls in the hawker centre has created some confusion among diners.

Another Facebook user posted to ask which one was "the authentic pork porridge stall", and thought that the Michelin-listed stall had an overhaul and now used different signs.

But some regular patrons of the older business believe they know the difference.

"I've eaten [from them] for many years, I know its taste, so I won't buy from the wrong stall," a woman told Shin Min. "But customers who are not familiar with them may get the stalls mixed up."
