Kuching Breakfast Porridge at Uncle Goh Porridge, Song Corner
-
At dawn, Song Corner is already moving while Jackson Goh is serving the kind of breakfast that does not need a long explanation: a hot bowl of rice porridge. Uncle Goh Porridge has been part of Kuching mornings for 17 years, but its story began with a late change of direction.
Goh left the construction business and turned to cooking before he was 58. He learned through traditional knowledge, advice from friends and plenty of trial and error, gradually adjusting the recipe to suit the people who came back for breakfast. The stall started at a food court along Jalan Tun Jugah in 2009, then moved to Song Corner in Tabuan Heights about a decade ago.
The shredded chicken porridge is the clear starting point: it is the stated favourite and costs RM5 a bowl. Pork and chicken options keep the menu familiar rather than elaborate, which is exactly the point for an early workday meal. I would choose it when I want something light but filling, especially before a busy morning; the stall serves from 6am to noon and closes on Thursdays.
