bou yat bou herbal soup

the other day i was suggesting to my makan kaki to try out another soup specialty shop besides the usual soup stall that we frequent in seapark..

restaurant friendship herbal soup or bou yat bou in cantonese.. it is located at chow yang ss2 and was recommended by doris in the comment box.. and the world was so small that we actually bumped into each other coincidentally in that same place.. hoho.. when we reached there around 7.30pm.. it was so packed until we had to sit at the big round table (just the two of us!) at the back near to the kitchen and aherm the wc.. -_-"

while i was staring at the menu.. i still didnt notice doris was here until she walked over and said hi to me.. chit chat chit chat blah blah blah and then she recommended me the herbal soup in a steaming hot coconut shell.. ya i tried it but found it a bit too sweet during the first few attempts.. until my tongue had gotten used with the sweetness and it was actually tasted good.. eh.. i wonder if they boiled the soup with the coconut water.. :O

my friend craved for tofu so we ordered their home specialty tofu with mince pork.. i didnt consume much of this because i was awaiting for my star food of the night.. it was highly recommended by doris too.. deng deng deng deng..

its the pork knuckle!!! hohoho.. besides the usual german version and lets see how they make it in a chinese way.. eh.. it was quite an expensive dish for rm23 but i was immediately hooked! besides the crispy skin.. the whole thing was well marinated too.. yum yum! and i was happily digging for the gelatin and the crunch crunch skin.. whereas i pushed the meat to my friend.. hoho..

but i guess the whole knuckle was just too much for the two of us! and i hope this pic (pig) doesnt gross you out.. it does look like something right.. yikes.. :p
