huo kuo!

Huo Kuo means pan in fire, or in our malaysian terms "steamboat". This was fantastic! The Nan Hua Huo Kuo is a restaurant chain. This one nearby had two floors, with ventilation windows on their roof. We waited for 10 minutes for our table. Not bad at all.

Here's the utensils: bowl, sieve, chopsticks, plates and spoons! There're spicy sauces, chinese sauces, and asian chinese sauces. i ordered the latter and found out it's a horrible imitation of our malaysian sate sauce. How bad could the rest be?

First, choose a soup base. Without hesitation, we took the signature soup. A duo of spicy soup, and 'fish soup with pickled vege". As frequently heard on my astro channel 11, travel with a big heart and a sense of wonder, or something like that. The spicy soup turned out to be too hot and tasteless. But the Fish soup knocked us out. i ate all the fish fillet like a miao. The other servings of meat were large. The best part was both the pork and beef were paper thinly slice, and hence, once you put them in the boiling soup, it's cooked within seconds!

It's not so cheap as we over ordered. But definitely way much cheaper than our local COCA restaurants. Consider the best steamboat i had, with little msg. Once more, i surrendered.

The best is yet to come!
