Brother in law wanted to go somewhere for hot pot where you could sit comfortably and the place isn't too noisy. So I booked Budaoweng. Although it isn't the best hotpot restaurant I have been to in terms of the food but the ambience and space is the best for meeting friends and chatting. I was responsible to order. My favourite dishes here are the loud bells and the vegetable basket. I forgot to take a photo of the mixed vegetable basket and am kicking myself. The basket has several different t
I was responsible to order. My favourite dishes here are the loud bells and the vegetable basket. I forgot to take a photo of the mixed vegetable basket and am kicking myself. The basket has several different types of vegetables arranged standing up in a basket. Like a flower arrangement of green.
For us, beef is always the star of the show. The beef here was nicely marbled, sliced to the right thickness, we had a repeat order. Everyone loves the different types of balls and the mixed plate has octopus, prawn, pork and beef. These were firm and fresh and I think made by the restaurant rather than bought from outside sources. We also ordered a plate of fresh prawns on sticks which were quite big and very sweet. The shui kao dumplings had huge prawns inside and again we had to repeat the order. Our group were not too adventurous on different types of food but rather we repeated on the dishes we ordered.
For those who have never had loud bells before, they are sheets of bean curd rolled up and deep fried. They were hot when they arrived and they could either be eaten without boiling dipped into a sweet and sour sauce or they can be dunked into the hot pot for a few seconds to soften. I like both ways, one is crispy and the other soaks up the tasty soup and they taste completely different.
BIL and our friends were here for the first time and very happy with the dinner.
