Goh Zha Lang Restaurant Taiwan Porridge @ Taman Sentosa 古早人台湾粥馆

"Passing here many times but never come to this Taiwan restaurant. 1st visit here for late simple dinner. Food tastes good and portions reasonable. Price also ok normal. Refers to menu for the correct prices for different items. Nice."

"A very popular place in the vicinity especially during the weekends. Today our group ordered 12 different items. Most of the food were on target and tasted great. However the steamed minced meat dishes were not as good. The meat were too finely minced and the flavor was not intense. My favorite dish was the braised pork belly. Service was acceptable."

"Overall experience: A cozy and busy Taiwanese eatery that reminds you of classic hometown meals. The place fills up quickly with regulars, so arriving early is a good idea. It’s a spot where simple food and warm atmosphere go hand in hand. Food: The spread was full of flavor and variety. Every dish had that home-cooked feel—rich sauces, fresh ingredients, and comforting tastes. You also get to choose from white porridge, sweet potato porridge, or plain rice, which pairs perfectly with the dishes. It’s the kind of meal that makes you want to go for seconds. Service: Despite the crowd, the staff were quick and efficient. They moved fast, stayed polite, and kept everything running smoothly. It was clear they knew how to handle the dinner rush. Cost: Good value for the portion and taste. Worth coming back again."

"Tried out this air-conditioned restaurant for dinner. The dishes are quite well cooked. The 三杯鸡 dish is tasty, just that majority of the chicken parts used are bony ones.."

"This porridge is absolutely delicious and full of comfort — you can really taste the tradition behind it. The texture is smooth and light, yet rich in flavor, perfect on its own or paired with their side dishes. The fried fish was crispy on the outside and tender inside, and the stir-fried cabbage was simple but very fragrant. This place has a long history in Johor Bahru, and it shows in the quality and consistency of the food. A true old-school style porridge spot that’s worth visiting if you’re in JB. Simple, authentic, and very satisfying"

"Located along a row of shophouses near Plaza Sentosa, JB. They recently renovated the restaurant, nicely decorated and clean. Known for their Taiwanese porridge styled dishes, this is a good spot to have a quick meal or meal. We tried a few of their well-known dishes, all above-standards and delicious. I stopped short of 5-stars as I had to compare other restaurants which garnered better points. Overall, nice Taiwanese styled dishes, helpful and polite Staffs, nice place for family, groups and couples."
