Originating from Macau, Fu Lin Men Dou Lao sets itself apart from its competitors by serving their seafood live to ensure maximum freshness when consumed. In addition, each of their patron has their own individual pot to customise their soup base and ingredients to their liking. This makes it easier for people with dietary restrictions or who are just very picky. (Finally! I don't have to aggressively oppose to the inclusion of prawns in my steamboat!)
I personally like the interior design of the restaurant. There are many detailed textures and furniture that brings about a classy ambience and ample lighting for photography. Oh, and there are charging ports beneath the tables!
I chose the tomato soup base. It was really flavourful just by itself so you can imagine how rich it got after a range of ingredients boiled in it.
It was pretty alright for an appetiser with a typical sourish and spicy touch to them.
Pretty much a disappointment because of the hard texture. It was actually better after being dipped in the soup.
The pricing for their vegetables are steep but they do have a wide variety. Green are after all essential to steamboats.
What steamboat would be complete without mushrooms? They offer six varieties of it.
I was pretty enticed when I was informed of the green tea flavoured beancurd. It does have a slight hint of it, but not noticeable if eaten together with the soup.
We were served chicken, squid, pork and prawn balls. I tried all but the last and they were pretty good, having a springy texture to it.
I decided to snap a photo solely because of the unique presentation. I had them pushed aside immediately.
I definitely enjoyed the freshness of the snapper. It had a very soft but firm texture and you can taste the distinct seafood sweetness of the flesh even with the soup.
You can never really go wrong with a fresh seabass. Like the snapper, it had an pleasant texture and an addictive taste. I can see why they put so much emphasis on the seafood being served live and fresh.
I appreciated the finely sliced meat for swift cooking in the pot. The meat were pretty delicious and added that extra savouriness to the soup base. There are also other meat like chicken and pork available for order.
This dish was a last minute addition to the meal as yours truly requested for some carbohydrates. (I am currently trying to bulk up…) It looked and smelled really appetising but the taste was pretty mediocre. The rice had yet to fully absorb the flavours of the ingredients and was thus a little bland.
I enjoyed the meal overall and it is a decent place for group gatherings with good seafood dishes and a comfortable atmosphere.
You know how much I appreciate your support and what better way to return the favour then by sharing promotional codes for discounts?! Haha!
