Unleash The Inner Mongolian...
Do not be frightened by the title. It was just something that struck my mind and was probably inspired by Fung Hang Lit in Lethal Powers of Weapons and Love (correct ah jay?).
Right, on to business. Wen Hao took Jay, Evie and I to Jalan Pudu for steamboat and quite honestly, I wasn't looking forward to it because...er because... of the name... Mongolian... I don't have any prejudice against Mongolians just to make it clear but there's something uneasy about the name of the Restaurant...Inner Mongolian Restaurant... maybe its just me.
The first thing we learnt is if you want to eat there, you should have at least one person that understands/ speaks Mandarin or else be forced to use hand gestures like Wen Hao. Ha ha darn funny but thanks to Evie and Jay, we managed. When the waitress poured the ching tong (clear soup), I was like... oh no... It was white in colour like milk with dates and whatever not floating in it...then we tasted it and then... WOW!
WOW! WOW! It was glorious... The taste of the soup. Its more herby than the normal steamboat we have say in Klang but somehow, it was very wholesome and I actually felt good after drinking it. We had the whole selection of fishballs, meatballs, beefballs, fu chuk, vege, pork slices, beef slices, chicken slices, egg tau foo, mee etc... The best was the fish balls. They don't come in your conventional shape because they have some meat in them. Yummy!
My conclusion is that KL does have something worth the traffic jams and the hustling bustling after all. For 22.80 RM per person, it was more than worth it. I just wished I had a 5th stomach to finish up the left over soup ha ha.
