Thurs Steamboat





Before you know it, its time again for our friends to meet again for good food. This time we head our way down to Ting Yuan that specializes in authentic steamboat Chongqing style.


11 of us munched our way through the food. The herbal mala soup is super spicy. We were given a choice to choose for the less spicy, or the more spicy one. Not to take any risks, we opted for the less spicy one. Even the less spicy soup will set you on fire. I can only imagine what would have happened if we were to try the more spicy version of the soup. However the base of the soup is the same with the chicken broth soup. So I reckoned they add the chilli separately into the soup and its not boiled together.

Another attraction is the unusual dipping sauce which is made of crushed peanuts, sesame seed, coriander and salted vegetables. It goes down well with anything that you dipped it in. A bit salty, but overall it appeals to me.The amount of food you see in the picture, you can safely multiply that by 4 times. Thats how much we ate.

We ate non stop basically we started at about 7.30pm, and all the way to about 10pm. Being unable to move after that, decided to take a cab home...hahahaha....
