Steamboat Adventure.

Nowadays, more and more steamboat restaurants are established everywhere. In each area, I'm sure one can find at least 2 operating premises at ease. Although there are too many of them around, I have a few favorites in mind... Yuan, Ho Ho, Farmland, etc. And now, I have another one to be added in the list.

Steamboat stop: Chong Qing Restaurant

Address: 21, Jalan PJS 8/18, Dataran Bandar Sunway (Opposite Yuan Steamboat)

In this restaurant, there are more soup bases to choose from - Tom Yam, Herbal, 酸菜烫 (Chinese sauerkraut), 麻辣烫 (sort of Japanese/Korean/Taiwanese spicy soup which is a lot more spicy than Tom Yam), and Soya Bean (if I'm not wrong). I myself ordered the herbal and Chinese sauerkraut soup, which were both fantastic! The herbal soup is sweet and aromatic whilst the Chinese sauerkraut soup with dried chili is sour and spicy. The variety of food there is a little lesser than Yuen, but there are meat slices which is quite limited and my favorite enokitake! Also, the seafood is quite fresh! The crabs there are a lot more meaty compared to Yuen. However, there were only 2 to 3 drinks to select from, and don't expect to get Yuen's signature BBQ chicken wings here. Nevertheless, RM 19.80 per pax is on par with the satisfaction level. I won't hesitate to try the other soups in the near future. =)

Although the meal lasted for two hours, the soup didn't dry up quickly, which is a merit for the restaurant.
