Ta Wan (2)

Mom and I had lunch at Ta Wan restaurant in Mall Taman Anggrek. Usually, we always ordered the set menu for 2 people but this time, we were trying the porridge which is well known at Ta Wan. The porridge tasted really good because of the soft texture.

  4. Is that like congee?

    Can you tell us how 1000 year old egg is prepared? I know it's not really that old ;) But it does look chewy!

  5. olivia: I'm not so sure what's the difference between congee and porridge.

    Yes, the 1000 year old egg is chewy for the white egg part, but the yolk part isn't chewy :)

  12. I couldn't eat the yolk if it tastes like ammonia. And sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a base that's used as drain cleaner!

  13. pam: simple as it is only porridge plus fried shrimp balls but yes, tasty :)

    olivia: uhmm.. no.. I don't think it's really tasted like ammonia. The best is to try it directly to find out the real taste ;)
