Not another food blog

Is it good? The answer is 'no'. But considering Tastypot is being pitted against the likes of the immortal Yuen, perhaps the expectation is going to be a little overboard - it's either as good or not good enough.

The ringmaster Jerrald had this planned in the office a few days back, so I thought why not considering I've been to Yuen some seven times in the past four years a change might be good. Also had the first ever soya bean soup hotpot which was a bit strange. Tasted quite bland at the start and ended up freaking salty at the end.

The crabs, lala, siput and fishballs stood no
chance against the Mighty Jerrald.


They also had the likes of sesame honey chicken which was quite savoury - kudos to the cook who tried to be different though, otherwise it'll ended up compared to the famous barbecued wings of...  a competitor shop. They have barbecued fish and crabshell egg which would've given it a plus point in compared to... that shop, if they tasted great. Never had to chance to try the barbecued lamb, poor J.

Noticed that the whole area is filled with either seafood or steamboat shops, it has probably eclipsed the coastal towns as the Mecca of hotpots, dab smack in the middle of Subang Jaya. It's like the seafood Tesco or Carrefour of our times - convenient, near and somewhat cheap.

 It pretty much as the epitome of Malaysia's favourite pastime of eating, especially outside with a group of people. Almost every table was filled with at least four people each. It's a Malaysian way of getting people to talk to one another whilst getting filled up with food, which would satisfy both food and socialising requirements at the same time. The whole area was filled with people and more people at tables munching away as they spoke to one another.

None of the other tables have Choi Ji Woo or the Roman Emperor though.

The saving grace is that the ice cream was pretty good though - mint chocolate, cookie and vanilla as well as strawberry. As well as the line of four babes that stood outside the toilet as they waited for the single ladies toilet.

The lady in black in the background was kinda hot.
This is Alex by the way.
