Dinner at Chong Pang

Had dinner with Slug at Chong Pang steamboat restaurant, which had moved from Marina South to the old Turf Club. Just when I thought the Marina Bay developments will permanently evict our favourite foodie haunt, we were blessed to come across it again!

Same old ingredients (especially my favourite chicken shreds in all sorts of flavours - chilli, sesame oil, black pepper and satay), except that the price has increased and ice-cream is no longer included (free flow of drinks though). We tucked in with nostalgic relish, reminiscing those days at the crowded Marina South steamboat restaurants and its casual atmosphere. As the restaurant has been occupying the current venue for barely 2 months, there were not many people and it was quieter.

Ready to start the feast

Aftermath - egg shells, chicken bones and lots of charred bits on the grill plate

Everything was typical BBQ and steamboat ingredients except for the crab which was somewhat disturbing - it had a strong ammonia smell, akin to the smell emanating from toilet bowls which have not been flushed for days. Maybe that was the reason why I had a mini diarrhoea later in the night.
