Matang Seafood (马登瓦煲海鲜鱼粥) at KSL City Mall occupies lot LG34 on the lower ground floor, at Jalan Seladang, Taman Century, 80250 Johor Bahru. The outlet is listed on Facebook with 532 likes and on Waze. The KSL Mall branch is an offshoot of the JB main branch at 91, Jalan Austin Height 3, Taman Mount Austin. A YouTube review describes the outlet as serving comforting seafood claypot porridge, with mixed reviews from diners — some saying good, others disagreeing, but overall described as comforting. The Chinese name 马登瓦煲海鲜鱼粥 means Matang claypot seafood fish porridge.
Matang Seafood KSL Mall specialises in seafood fish porridge served in traditional claypots (瓦煲). The signature dish is the seafood fish porridge (海鲜鱼粥), a Cantonese-style rice porridge cooked with fresh fish and seafood in an individual claypot, which retains heat and enhances the flavour. The claypot cooking method produces a thick, flavourful congee with the sweetness of fresh seafood. Other dishes likely include claypot seafood combinations, steamed fish, and side dishes. The Matang brand originates from the main branch in Mount Austin, which has built a reputation for seafood porridge. The lower ground floor lot LG34 location provides a casual dining environment within KSL City Mall. The mixed reviews suggest consistency may vary, but the comforting quality of the porridge keeps customers returning. The KSL Mall branch extends Matang's reach to the Taman Pelangi area.
Matang Seafood KSL Mall opens daily from 10am to 10pm. The outlet is located on the lower ground floor at lot LG34.

Came here for the second time and I enjoyed the food, especially the porridge. The seafood was fresh and the porridge was thick and flavourful. However, the portion was quite small for some dishes, so I recommend ordering a medium or large …

Very dishonest business practices here. Told me Lala soup (RM18) sold out because no lala so I ordered the porridge (RM40 with tax) which have Lala?! Food only average but portion so little. Can get better quality, value and portion in Singapore. Definitely on my blacklist.
Jean Teo
Great service. Ordered a seafood bee hoon soup. The picture on the menu shows prawns, fish and other seafood. When it was served, only a couple pieces of fish. Other dishes are ordinary.
