On my previous trip to Kota Kinabalu, I was feeling a little bit under the weather due to a bout of not entirely moderate case of flu. My KK buddy was kind enough to take me to some comforting food fit for my condition – Seafood Porridge at Foh Sang.
How Lee Coffee Shop Seafood Porridge
The operation is located at How Lee Coffee Shop by the shop lots at Foh Sang that’s packed with quite a few other restaurants that aren’t short of customers during dinner time. After a couple rounds of circling the premise, we found a parking spot, and another few minutes of waiting, we finally landed on a table for two.
At this place, the star is their seafood porridge, but you can also have them with chicken, pork, scallop, crab, fish fillet, or prawns. Additionally, this is also a full fledge “tai chao” operation, so you get to order a pretty good selection of accompanying side dishes, or even have rice or noodle if porridge isn’t your calling for the night.
seafood porridge, choi sum, asam chicken, salted egg
For dinner, we ordered a standard bowl of seafood porridge with a salted egg, a plate of deep fried asam chicken, and a portion of choi sam for fiber and vitamin.
The porridge was certainly top notch, and as expected of any seafood dishes, the quality was top notch and super fresh. The vegetable was probably produce from kundasang, crunchy and sweet. However, the asam chicken was perhaps a little too over fried for my liking, the slight bitter after taste didn’t really do it for me.
wholesome dinner especially when you’re under the weather
Overall dinner came to about RM 60+ for the two of us, I’d say that’s decent value for the quality of seafood we got. Will not hesitate to go again.

frog + rice porridge at the front of block is best #realnews
kekeke: at Foh Sang? emmm I’ll have to check that out next time when I have the chance.
ehh ooops! I think the chef left liao. Hard to find clean frogs i think LOL…
kekeke: nooooo
What is on top of the porridge?
seafood…. LOL
kekeke: technically correct. lol.
Choi Yen: surf clam & seaweed.
Looks like you’re doing all of my favourite things in KK – eating, eating and more eating 😉
Monica: would there be other options?
Should explore further and try local exotic cuisine, and such as monkey brain stew, jungle wild boar raw meat, and of course tuaran mee LOL
Bhad Nakal: hahaha tuaran mee ok la!
Exotic plants I’m willing to try. Exotic meats… I’ll leave that to KY 😉
Monica: LOL
I would love to try that porridge – here we only get the minced pork ones. My! My! The salted egg yolk looks out of this world! I would love that too, I know.
suituapui: yesss, those were some really good salted egg yolks, retaining some soft center too!
KY, I never eaten much salted eggs only in rice dumpling (jung) or in other type of dishes. My cousin like it so different the porridge for he had Cantonese ones which duck egg with pork or seafood porridge in Hong Kong. He will like it . Does it serve fried bread youtau?
Vickie: we didn’t have the youtau here, but it is quite a common companion for porridge all over Malaysia.
Ahhhh… I’m familiar with this place. Feeling under the weather? It’s okay… let’s have some fried chicken to cure it! HAHAHAHA
don’t eat more chicken if already got bird flu LOL #alternativefacts
CleverMunkey: hahahaha wouldn’t have it other way!
seafood porridge sounds comforting and looks good – but people with flu should be eating deep-fried side dishes! 😀
*shouldn’t 😀
Sean: don’t judge :X

YOU SHOULD EAT THEIR TENOM KON LOU NOODLES. TOP NOTCH
Jeff: thanks!
