Ah Yip Herbal Soup @ Summit Subang

Back to Puchong on the 3rd day of CNY. It was such a quiet town and we decided to do window shop in Summit Subang on Saturday. After an hour of walking, hubby & I decided to have lunch. Came across Ah Yip Herbal Soup restaurant. It's been a long while since I had Ah Yip's. It was hubby's first.

We decided to order set, since it comes with "Gui Lin Gou". We both had Mushroom Duck Drumstick Soup Noodles.

Restoran BB Ho Steamboat @ Bandar Puteri Puchong

P & C invited hubby & I for dinner over the weekend to celebrate P's birthday. They decided to have steamboat at BB Ho Steamboat.

Honestly, after trying and been having steamboat at Lo Maji, I wasn't to thrill to have any other sort of steamboat in town. Lo Maji's spicy steamboat is an acquired taste dish. Once you have... you tend to have more. Well, that applies only to me and hubby :p We're addicted to Lo Maji. At one time we were there almost every week!!! Hubby & I sworn to only have our fix not more than once a month :p So far we succeeded :D

Side track a little there. Well, back to dinner at BB Ho Steamboat. Where was I? Oh, like I was saying I wasn't too thrill when I heard of BB Ho Steamboat. Anyhow I should give it a try to see if its any different from the rest of the steamboat house.

Hokkien Fried Bihun with Lala.


Photobucket
Soup based Steamboat. Ingredients for 4 people include Yee Mee, Bihun & Eggs.

The verdicts:
  • Hokkien Fried Bihun with Lala was too salty for my tastebud.
  • Lala were small and hard to find.
  • Steamboat broth has too much MSG - artificial pork bones "taste".
  • As we continue eating, the broth got saltier ("tastier") due to the ingredients. When we got to the noodles, I couldn't even have another sip of the soup.
