How it's used
Used exclusively in the context of mahjong to describe winning the final round of a session. It carries a sense of satisfaction or a lucky turnaround, as the final game is often seen as the most significant one to end on. While it literally mentions porridge, it has no relation to food and is purely a gambling term.
Examples
I won the last hand, I am really lucky.
