Coco Steamboat just opened its' branch in Old Klang Road on 23rd July 2012. Its' main branch is located along a row of office shop-lots in Taman Bukit Hijau (nearby Taynton View). The environment of the restaurant is not bad. There is a mini pond and fountain with beautiful big Japanese carp fishes in it. The choices of soup base available there include their signature whole pork bone base (have to add additional RM 17.90), clear soup base and porridge base (only available on weekends). Though pricey, mum and I decided to try their whole pork base steamboat. Yeah, mum was nagging about the price throughout the meal but I enjoyed the steamboat very much.The big clay pot is used in keeping the whole bone pork steamboat......Chilli sauce......I don't really liked it because it is too spicy.Ingredients for one steamboat set (RM 15.80/pax)

I didn't manage to capture all ingredients because mum already throw in some of the ingredients into the pot. Some of the ingredients include vegetables, tofu, fish balls, fish noodles, fish slice, a prawn, dumpling and crabstick.Yee Mee and Egg for the steamboatWe ordered an additional plate of mushroom meat balls (RM 8.90).

I quite like the meat balls. There were chuncks of mushrooms mixed with the meat of the meatball. Besides, the meat balls were also very fragrant.......yummy yummy.........We also ordered a plate of sliced pork (RM 11.90).

The slice pork were thinly sliced, making them to cook very fast. Each slice of the pork has an oil attached to them, which I don't really fancy. But the meat part is good. Very tender. Just remember don't overcooked them or the meat will become tough to eat. Probably just cooked them in the boiling soup for about 30 seconds and they are ready to be eaten.They actually used a big sized pork bone to brew the soup. Can you see the bone in the middle? Mum and I ate the meat attached to the bone and we found that the bone might be off roasted pork because it has some roasted flavor in it......Other ingredients used in brewing the soup include black pepper, chilli, yam and milk. The chilli and black pepper in it makes the soup slightly hot but at an acceptable level. I love the idea of adding milk in it making the soup creamier and tastier. Just like other normal steamboats, the soup gets better after cooking all the ingredients in it. I had 3 bowls of the soup to satisfy my cravings for steamboat soup...The refill for the soup is free....thumbs up...hehe

The total damage for the meal including 2 plain water (RM 1.60) = RM 56.10

I finally managed to try out Hui Lau Shan's famous mango desserts in their Pavilion outlet on Monday with Ester during our lunch break. I chose Hui Lau Shan's Mango Romance set which consisted of three types of mango desserts. This is a good way to taste more variety of desserts without needing to order separate individual desserts. The set consisted of mango mochi, mango icy crystal icy jelly and lastly, mango pieces and glutinous rice ball. Mango Romance (RM 12.90)

The mango mochi is accompanied with a few slices of mango and was coated with coconut shreds. The mochi skin is made of mango and mango flesh were inside of the mochi. I don't really like the mochi because the skin is quite sticky and the coated with too much coconut shreds. This makes the mochi covered with coconut taste instead of mango.

Next, the mango icy crystal jelly consisted of one scoop of mango ice cream, mango flesh and jelly underneath of the ice cream. The ice cream taste not bad but make sure you eat it when it is still frozen to have the best of it. The jelly is actually tasteless, therefore, eat it with the mango to have some taste.

Lastly, the mango pieces and glutinous rice ball is my favourite. The ingredients were served in a bowl containing mango puree/juice. The mango is sweet and I loved the think puree. The chewy glutionous rice balls are also nice to eat with the mango.

The following is my mum's lunch. She had the steamed chicken and char siew rice set from the BBQ chicken rice stall in DDP Food Court. The rice set is only RM 6.00. Super cheap because she ordered an additional small rice. I think the operator forget to charge her for the small rice. Good for us because we managed to save $$$$....haha...One big rice + One small rice + One free clear soup

The soup is clear and tasty to drink; added some parsley into it to make it more fragrant...........Steamed chicken + BBQ pork aka Char Siew

The steamed chicken is very smooth and the sauce accompanying the chicken is quite tasty. Nice to eat it with rice. But I don't really like the Char Siew because there is a layer of oil accompanying each slice of Char Siew. Too fattening for me. But the Char Siew taste not bad because it was marinated and BBQued nicely to make it more fragrant.

Today, mum went to Lai Foong coffee shop to buy a packet of beef noodle soup for me. Lai Foong is actually one of the well known places for beef noodles. It has been around for more than 10 years. I remember passing by this coffee shop everyday during my schooling days. Lai Foong is my favourite place for beef noodles.The chilli sauce

The chilli sauce is quite spicy. As you can see, there are lots of chilli seeds in it. Don't eat the chilli on its own, remember to eat together with the noodles to reduce the spiciness.Beef mee hoon soup (RM 8.00)

The beef noodle is very big in portion. Lots of mee hoon were given. The ingredients that I chose were lean meat slices, tripe and tendon. The meat is sliced thinly making it very tender and easy to eat. My favourite is the tendon, very chewy texture....I liked the soup very much because it is very appetizing due to the sourness from the ham choy (pickled vegetable). I finished up all the soup...yummy yummy..... Chewy beef tendonI am not sure what it is called in english but in chinese is called "ngau pat yip"Beef tripe

I went to the DDP Food Court today to have my lunch. Initially, I wanted to have the pork ribs noodle but the stall did not open today. Thus, I chose the pork noodle stall instead. I ordered one big bowl of spicy pork noodle. I waited for almost 20 minutes for my noodles to arrive, super slow. Luckily I am not that hungry. If not I'll starve to death....lol....Spicy Pork Noodle aka malat noodle (RM 6.50)

My bowl of pork noodle consisted of vegetables, minced meat meatballs and pork slices. The meatballs are tasty and the pork slices are sliced thinly. If you like innards, you can add in intestines and liver. You can also add egg as well. From the picture, the soup looks very red due to the coloring of the chilli paste (malat paste). You may think it is very spicy, but actually it is not. The spiciness level is just right. I almost finished all the soup. The serving size is just enough for me....Hehe....
