The signature dish is, of course, Teochew porridge. We ordered a claypot three-delicacy porridge for two people. The ingredients included crab, shrimp, clams, fish, and scallops; the high-quality ingredients made it incredibly flavorful,…

I highly recommend their signature claypot congee. For RM68, it includes crab, shrimp, fish, fish maw, and clams – a great deal! I also recommend trying their clam rice noodles, fried Teochew noodles, and claypot oyster congee.

Our group of 12 arrived around 7:45. We ordered separately for two tables; after ordering the first table, we immediately went to order the second, but the orders were the same.

This is my fifth time here. The food has a really traditional Chaozhou flavor, and every time I come, I'm truly amazed! The seafood porridge is very fresh and sweet, and the portion is generous.

The environment is great, perfect for bringing elders for dinner. My parents really enjoyed the dishes; everything was delicious. The owner is humorous and friendly. It gets quite crowded in the evening, so it's advisable to go early.

I found this place to be quite overrated. The porridge doesn't have any unique flavor and tastes just like any average bowl you can get elsewhere. To make it worse, it was way too salty. Disappointed given the reputation.

I ordered their congee and fried noodles. The taste was okay, since they mainly serve Chaozhou-style food, but the congee was too watery, and the fried noodles weren't typical Chaozhou fried noodles. I was a bit disappointed.

Everything was delicious. It was very cold, but the porridge was still warm even after we finished eating it. The prices were also reasonable. This place is good.

The portions are huge! One pot of porridge is enough to feed four people, and the fried food is delicious too! The sauce is also excellent, making it a great place to bring the whole family.

Delicious seafood porridge with a traditional taste. Huge portion for only RM68 (fits 3 pax). You get a lot of ingredients: crab, prawns, clams, and fish. Very affordable and highly recommended for families!
