Hong Jia Lao Guo Taman Megah Hotpot

Dinner at Hong Jia Lao Guo in Taman Megah was a nostalgic experience. I must say I was swayed by Chiefeater Luke Soon's previous review of this place. I chose hotpot because my daughter was craving something soupy, and this establishment is renowned for its traditional Teochew-style broths. The restaurant features a retro environment that complements its home-style cooking.

The centerpiece of our meal was the Teochew Taro Fish Soup set for 4 pax. This signature broth is milky, indulgent, and loaded with large slices of fresh grouper fish and plenty of taro and vegetables.

We also topped up our meal with several other items.

The standout additions were the prawn paste, served in a charming nostalgic tin, and the duck blood pudding.

The dinner concluded on a sweet note with a complimentary ais batang.
