"We reached this non-airconditional small eatery on weekdays at about 6:30pm. Ordering with the server and waiting time about 90 minutes. It was so long because there were many takeout orders that didn't need to queue. The ambience was terrible with a lot of smokers within the premises and also the presence of mosquitoes. Pork porridge was heavenly delicious despite the poor atmosphere. The broth was so delicious, although it looked plain and simple. The minced pork was soft, tender, and flavourful. The pork balls were equally delicious. We opted out of those intestines, which turned out to be favourite among other patrons. RM13 for 2 persons dinner. Valued for money. Both porridge and mee sua versions were equally fantastic. 5 stars"

"One of the best pork porridge/noodle in town. If not for the hour-long waiting time I would have given 5 stars! The "tau-chhiam" or flat noodle is my all time favourite. Must try!"

"You can have porridge or rice noodles and the mince pork ball is really delicious. As every pot need minutes of cooking time, orders cannot be served immediately and waiting time deter many people from coming for really tasty pork porridge/noodles here. My family prefer the thick rice noodles. When you are craving for soupy foods, come over here but be prepared for the queue."
