Went to the famous Yuen Steamboat Restaurant, located at Sunway area last night. There are many selections of marine creatures (prawns - udang harimau, mantis, kertas & alien lookalike, fishes-bawal putih & another 2 types, cuttlefish - torpedo, kurita & katak, kerang sate, 3 different types of sea cucumber and various other siput that I do not know the names). Also available are various other balls and stuffs that you put into soups. Vegetables itself occupied a big table. Also available are mee/bihun/nasi goreng, fruits and a few other kuihs, don't forget there are various flavours of ice-creams. That is the most lavish spread of seafoods I had ever seen and it's all you can eat with only RM20 price tag. I saw quite a number of Malays even though it is a Chinese restaurant and I could not find the 'halal' sticker. So, I stick to seafoods only la. Between the three of us, we ate around 1 - 2 kg of prawns & a lot of flowers (as vege). Since mandi bunga is good, we figured makan bunga is better. ;) Since I like to try weird items, got a shock of my life when one of the sea cucumber type menatang that I took suddenly sprouts flower-like-thingie after been cooked. Took some gumption to eat those. But, I really could not eat the mantis prawn and the alien look-alike prawn (it looks like a cockroach laaaa). Overall, I would give 3 1/2 stars out of 5. The area is clean enough, the tomyam is good tho the soup is a bit bland. There are many selections of food. Tho the minus is that it does not have the 'halal' stickers or at least a confirmation that all the chicken are taken from halal slaughterhouse. But, I still like the Seoul Garden more. Hehehe. 2 Comments:Ada la..dia stick on the cermin...right infornt of the seafood. By 11:43 AM , at

Of trilobytes eternal in stone, And seem to stare about in mild surprise At changes greater than they have yet known. - T.A. Conrad |

And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. - William Blake, excerp from Auguries of Innocence. |
