This is one of the many chains of steamboat in China which is very popular but affordable at the same time. Tried it sometime late last year and it was really good. Didn’t snap pics of simple stuff like potatoes and radishes. Think you can figure it out. ;P Check it out.

Very nice ambience inside although the surrounding outside is an industrial area.
Thermo stove
Ordered clear broth but it will come with loads of condiments inside... the broth is excellent!
They are famous for their lamb...
And beef as well...
Di Wang Veg... very nice crisp and great for steamboats.
Other veg and fungus
Mongolian Pan Cakes
With mutton fillings
Lamb skewers... can skip... not very nice
Golden Big Biscuit... Looks plain but surprisingly very nice!
Bill.. About SGD$30+

Rating: 5/5. Service is not bad and food is good.

Taste: Really tasty!

Portion: Average.

Price: See last pic.

RTE: Most likely… when I have company. you can’t do streamboat alone! 🙂

Location: 福田区八卦一路工业区. Tell the cab driver Xiao Fei Yang, they will know what to look out for.

Ok this place was recommended by the taxi driver who was driving myself and my friend when we were going to the other beef brisket place. So I took a short walk from my hotel, Charterhouse and reached the place in less than 10 mins. The place is tucked in a little alley from the busy roads of Wan Chai. Went in and was warmly greeted by one of the middle age lady waitress. She sat me down in front of the TV and I really love the place. Clean, bright and aircon is very strong. Love it. Check out the pics below:

The place... with a lot of reviews and pics of celebrities visited that place
That's 东方188 mall opposite...
阿牛 was here!
Other celebrities and food critic 阿苏 was there too
Clean and bright...
For my non-chinese friends, it means,"Remember to drink the soup. It'll be your loss if you don't!" Hence the soup must be really good.
Menu Side 1
Menu Side 2
First up, white radish. Very very juicy and it soaks up all the beef broth... nice... HKD$22
I was given one of the best parts of the beef brisket... forgot what it is called but it super tender and nice. Check out how every layer of meat is separated by a layer of fats... that's why so nice. The broth, I tell you it's soooooo gooood!!! - HKD$45
Plain noodles with veg. The noodles is really Q... mean it's very very supple and nice. HKD$10
A very satisfied customer...
Address of the place... they have another one near the turf club but this place is more convenient.
Map to the place
Located opposite this little mall

Rating: A definite 5/5!

Taste: I have never tasted anything so good. This will definitely be one of my favourites if I’m in Wan Chai again.

Portion: Average. Just right to make you leave with your mind planning for the next trip back there!

RTE: Put it this way, I AM planning my next trip back there… ;P

Price: HKD$77 = SGD$14.00

Location: See last 2 pics.

Noodles

I was in Hong Kong recently and noticed this little eatery near the hotel I was staying with crowds almost every time when I walk pass. So I decided to check out what the heck they are selling. Basically they have different types of noodles, with a basic clear broth, then you can choose to make it 麻辣, 酸辣 or 煳辣 (Ma La Spicy, Sourish Spicy or Peppery Spicy) then you choose your ingredients from the beef/pork/fish balls to bean skins, black fungus, mushrooms, vegetables, meat, etc. The broth looks plain at first but the taste is really good! Check it out:

Signboard with a typical face of the founder... very common sight in HK eateries.
This is taken at 9pm+... still have many people eating there...
The base broth with my choice of ramen noodles.
My choice of Ma La Soup with loads of veg. Looks plain right? But the broth is really good and very very spicy.
Check out the amount of ingredients.
Mid-section wings. 3pcs for HKD$18. Very very nice... basically every table has this for side dish cos it's so good!
Not very cheap, about SGD$10 for the meal. But portion is big so it's alright.

Rating: 5/5

Taste: Very nice and tasty. But spicy. Becareful.

Portion: Above average.

Price: Total HKD$56.

RTE: Yes I would but if I’m there I rather save my stomach for the beef brisket nearby.

Beef Brisket

華南粉面茶餐厅 @ Wan Chai, Hong Kong

A super old friend of mine from school days brought me to this place for dinner/supper after catching up in Hong Kong recently. According to him, he loves the beef brisket there and would try to patronize the place whenever he’s back in HK. Thanks to him if not I will never know of this place.

Store Outlook. Friend is posing... haha...
Looks small from outside but it can accommodate quite a lot of people inside. As it was summer, thank God it was air-conditioned!
Guy cooking all the beef parts and brisket. You can imagine how much flavour there is in the broth!
Beef Brisket with cabbage below. This bowl is about HKD$80... quite expensive if you ask me. Cos premium part of the brisket cost a lot more. But the taste is really good.
Very nice and tender...
Mixed Beef Parts Soup - Not a big fan of beef parts but they all tasted alright and tender. I'm ok with tribes but not the intestines and lungs and liver... but they contribute to the wonderful soup! 🙂
Nice cup of Ice Yuen Yang (tea mix with coffee) to cool the chilli hot mouth and wash it all down. Shiok!
My old classmate Gary Lim.
Me enjoying every bit of the brisket... the chilli is pretty spicy!

Rating: 4.5/5. Would be a perfect 5 if it’s not as pricey.

Taste: Pretty awesome I must say. The broth is really the essence of dunno how many cows!

Portion: Slightly above average servings.

Price: Bill came up to around HKD$140. Quite alright for those who believe in paying higher prices for good food. But I found another place which apparently is better than this place for much lesser price. Will review it later. 🙂

RTE: Maybe. It’s good but the other place is better to my taste.

Kambing Soup (Mutton)

Blk 17 Upp Boon Keng Market

At the same food centre as the Penang Char Kway Teow, on the same row, there’s this famous Kambing Soup stall with the green signboard. One of the best in Singapore I must say. Reasons stated below:

Sup Kambing! Dip the bread into the soup and put it in your mouth!
Loads of mutton cubes!

Rating: 4.5/5

Taste: No strong mutton smell which most women cannot take it. The soup is thick and full of flavour. Love it!

Portion: Quite a big bowl with loads of mutton cubes! Not bad for its price. But the bread is $1.00… not very cheap… so next time bring your own french loaf, buy the soup, sit somewhere further and then start dipping! haha…

Price: $4.00 + $1.00 for the bread

RTE: Yes but not too often cos not good for health. 🙁
