Craving lobster or lamb? This 'cai fan' stall in Toa Payoh is serving premium dishes

Think fish is the most expensive item you can order for 'cai fan'? Think again. 

At 666 Cai Fan Porridge in Toa Payoh, diners can load up their mixed rice with premium dishes such as Black Angus tenderloin ($5), lamb rack ($4.50), unagi ($7.50) and lobster ($9.50) among other dishes not typically found at a regular 'cai fan' stall.

That being said, those seeking familiar dishes can still find a selection of classic 'cai fan' staples here, including tapioca leaves, sweet and sour pork as well as tofu. 

Since opening in 2025, 666 Cai Fan Porridge has garnered popularity for its unique offerings — drawing long queues and making the rounds on social media.
