The porridge is fantastic. I am not a porridge fan but this is definitely one of the best porridge I ever had. They also serves one of the best desserts. Price is also reasonable. The location of this place speaks itself, hidden gem.

Wonderful claypots of porridge w all sorts of ingredients to choose from. Tried fresh fish slices marinated in lemon juice of sorts. Really enjoyed the porridge a lot.Great taste and v fresh.Salad prawns were surprisingly good too. W lots of other dai chow dishes .Lots of tong shui, pumpkin sago was lovely. Coconut pudding not so much at all. Egg tea was not great too.There's also satay and guo tie dumplings.

We wish we can ordered more. If got to choose the sequence, porridge, satay, dumpling, seafood soup... eat till we drop...Go early, the latter, more crowd and may need to take number to wait for table.

I have tried the pork offal and fish head porridge. Both are delicious! The porridge is smooth and viscous. I could see and taste ginger and dong cai (preserved veggie). Generous amount of offal and fish head. The latter is fresh.On first visit, I arrived at 7pm and had 2 groups in front of queue. On second visit, I arrived at 6:15pm and had 9 groups in front, so waited for 50 minutes to get a table. The raw fish was very good on 1st visit but not so on 2nd. The braised fish head is very delicious.Pork satay is tender and tasty.

Love this place, spacious and good vibes. The food was good, especially their porridge. Ample parking during dinner time. You need to queue so go earlier if possible.

[Non Halal] I love porridge. It is easy to eat, it is good when you’re not feeling too well. I had ordered the fish and fish skin with add on century egg porridge served in a clay pot with side orders of wanton and raw fish in vinegar and ginger as for my drink I had their homemade passion fruit juice. It was FANTASTIC! I completely finished all the food all by myself. I was actually lucky to have gone early, by 6.30pm people starts to pour in, until cafe was fully patronised, people are willing to wait, it is because of their food, nothing else. Highly recommended if you’re in Tawau.

Porridge is great but have to wait long, better to go earlier.Other stalls food is great taste too.Tawau specialty raw fish is served here. It’s my must order items.Herbal tea variety is best in Tawau and good taste.
