We visited on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We had to wait for a good 20 minutes before our order was served. Do note, you would need to let them know your table number when ordering. We ordered the Seafood Koka Noodles with Egg $5 and Tom Yam Pork Koka Noodles with Egg $3.5.

Seafood Koka Noodles with Egg $5 |
The Seafood Koka Noodles with Egg $5 was presented nicely. The addition of the prawns added a bright vibrant colour to this dish. From the above photo, you might not have known that this was cooked with instant noodles if I had not told you!
There was a variety of seafood such as cuttlefish, sliced fish and prawns. Although the prawns were fresh, the sliced fish had a strong fishy taste. The soup had a strong hint of prawn flavour such that it masked the sweetness of the other seafood. The Koka Noodles was cooked just right; not too soft and not too hard, and the noodles was springy.

Tom Yam Pork Koka Noodles with Egg $3.5 |
This was the
Tom Yam Pork Koka Noodles with Egg $3.5.

Tom Yam Pork Koka Noodles with Egg $3.5 |
It consisted of vegetables, sliced lean pork meat, minced meat and an egg. The Koka Noodles was cooked just right. As for the Tom Yam soup, if it was slightly less spicy, it would have been perfect. This was quite a good dish for a cold day.
Personally, we both preferred the Tom Yam Pork Koka Noodles. Instant Noodles had never tasted so delicious! Perfect excuse to eat instant noodles
(in moderation - hopefully).

Chicken Porridge with Egg $3.50, Pork Porridge with Egg $3.50 |
During another visit on a Saturday, we decided to try their porridge for lunch. We ordered the
Chicken Porridge with Egg $3.50 and
Pork Porridge with Egg $3.50

Chicken Porridge with Egg $3.50 |

Chicken Porridge with Egg $3.50 |
The
Chicken Porridge with Egg $3.50 was served with chunks of chicken meat, egg, chopped coriander, fried shallots, You Tiao (deep fried dough fritters), and a dash of soya sauce and pepper. The porridge was disappointing. It was watery, tasteless and not heated up enough such that the raw egg which was added could not even get cooked properly.

The
Pork Porridge with Egg $3.50 was served with slices of lean meat, minced meat and liver. It was also watery and tasteless. Enough said..
The porridge at Hai Xian Zhu Zhou was such a let down. You would be better off ordering their Koka Instant noodles.

Great invention with instant noodles which I eat but like you said, its ok for a once a while affair. The tom yam noodles is seem like the best which is making me drool like crazy.
