What excited me about this meal was the pig stomach dish, a specialty of Ji De Lai San Ding (JDLSD Seafood Restaurant). Yummy? It was good or should I say an acquired taste? I like it because it was oh-so-interesting. The stomach or hog maw was stuffed with a whole black chicken filled with ingredients like dried mushrooms, dried scallops and lotus seed. It is a nutritious soup dish.

A short clip of it being cut up:
The rest of the dishes are common but no less delicious. I enjoyed the sweet, sticky pork ribs the most (no picture because it was served late) ; addictive, finger-licking stuff.

The restaurant and its surroundings - a laid-back, old style ambiance.

The next morning, we had breakfast at Maxim, an extremely popular dim sum restaurant. It was crowded but fast moving so we got our table within minutes. The eatery runs on a self-service concept where you go to the counter, select the food you want and bring it back to the table yourself.

DeleteGreat place for delicious food! Eat eat eat
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindyrina. Now that the festive season is over, I need to stop overeating..haha!
DeleteEeerr. I passed that hog maw. Suddenly I lost my appetite! Lol.
ReplyDeleteDim sum is more me. Can eat more. Hahaha.
Ya, it does look scary ..hahaha! ^.^
DeleteIt's definitely not for me.
ReplyDeleteHaha... no? One bite? ;)
DeleteI am still wondering how to stuff the black chicken into the hog maw? Looks like Ipoh dim sum restaurants are also catching up with the self service concept. We went to two dim sum restaurants and ordering and serving food was self service.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that the hog maw is pretty elastic before cooking ...just guessing.
Deletewow a lot of meats in the soup
ReplyDeleteYes ..I'm beginning to love this restaurant a lot. Been there twice already. The ginger kampung chicken is so yummy! ;)
