Our first eating expedition in Cheras since heaven-knows-when.
Pumpkin porridge steamboat is Lin Yuan's specialty _ a unique gastronomic pleasure.
To immerse in the sweet, creamy broth: quail eggs, pork tendon balls & fish paste dumplings, combined with a couple of raw chicken eggs cracked inside.
A little spicy sambal & house-made soy sauce ensure a powerful kick.
Toss in some noodles for the final step to satisfy the tummy.

Been wanting to try this...but din have a chance so far...ur final verdict: good or not?
ReplyDeleteWah. Devil took one look at this and said, "You went to a kopitiam?"
ReplyDeleteThen we noticed it's steamboat restaurant. Hmm, pumpkin porridge. Sounds yummy but like Ulric asked: Good or NOT?
ulric: it's good, though it'll be tastier if you add more ingredients (various seafood & meat). prices are fair too; the bill here should cost less than one bowl of ramen per person! :D
ReplyDeletekenny: ohh, i think most folks who like the taste of pumpkin will enjoy this steamboat/porridge. it does make me wish that restaurants would be more inventive with steamboat flavors. how about wasabi steamboat, or maybe even an entire broth that's composed purely of EGG! yums! :D
pork tendon balllllllsssss. me want also!
ReplyDeletethis post inspired me to prepare pumpkin porridge hehe
Wah you mean you went to a place with no a/c ah?????
ReplyDeleteMichelle: ooh, hope your pumpkin porridge turns out deliciously! =)
ReplyDeleteBaby sumo: heheh, it was a cool, breezy evening, with some light rain :D
How interesting! These neo-steamboat places are a whole new genre to me. I recently went to somewhere in Seri Petaling where they also made steamboat porridge but with crab roe and the shells, yummo!
ReplyDeleteHungry female: ooh, I live in Sri petaling, and I think I know which outlet u're referring to, but I've never managed to visit it. Crab roe steamboat sounds mind-blowing (and less arduous to eat than regular crab!) =)
ReplyDeleteWasabi steamboat actually sounds intriguing if they don't overdo it. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteKenny: I'd totally draw the line at peanut butter steamboat though! :D
ReplyDeletePumpkin soup for steamboat?? Sounds interesting enough for me! Although I'm like you, haven't been to Cheras in AGES!!! :P
ReplyDeleteIamthewitch: cheras sure is scary! The area seems so huge and confusing ... and traffic there feels like a mess most of the time! =)
ReplyDeleteat least this stock is difft fm other steam boat stocks which i find tedious to eat la. Is it really sweet?
ReplyDeleteciki: yeah, i'm not usually a fan of steamboat either. the stock here had that pumpkin sweetness, not the sugary sweetness, heheh...
ReplyDeletewah the pumpkin porridge looks like a bowl of sharksfin soup with crab roe!
ReplyDeleteEiling: crab roe porridge would be quite nice also :D
