06.07.14 : Chong Qing Xiao Chu, Gurney Paragon Mall, Penang

Chong Qing Xiao Chu is a place where you can dine for some serious China-Chong-Qing-Style-Food. Have heard many that says this is one the recommended place to dine, that is famous for its' flaming burning Spicy Hot Pot. This branch located in Gurney Paragon Mall is actually their second branch (business is expanding yo!), the main branch is located in Lorong Abu Siti, Penang, but with a different name -> Chiow Lin Steamboat Restaurant. With scattered positive feedbacks everywhere, we decided to give a try and we went there for lunch. We were greeted warmly with smiles by the friendly lady-boss when we stepped into the restaurant.

Without flipping much from the menu, we ordered the Tomyam Seafood Steamboat Set (RM 48). The serving was really fast (All raw food, of course la wei). We started dumping the food like-a-boss into the boiling hot Tom Yam pot happily and waited patiently like hungry wolves. The raw pork in slices-mode (with combination of fats) is my favourite (I don't mind they give me another few more plates of'em). Perfect one when cooked in Tom Yam -> simply hot, spicy, tender and delicious (fuuuuyoooohhhhh, sedap-giler!)

As you can see, the Tom Yam soup is pretty saturated reddish in color, giving you an early Friendly-Spicy-Caution-Warning ahead. Wonder what's in the set? -> (Abalone slices, prawns, chicken cutlet, scallops, squids, golden mushrooms, white cabbage, yao-mak vegetable, maggie-mee, pork slices, crabsticks, fu-chow fish balls, pork balls, prawn balls, egg and beancurds). All in all, the steamboat were really really really good and satisying! If you love spicy Tom Yam, you will love it. Definitely going to come back next time to try out other foods on the menu.
