Inner Mongolia

I was at Restaurant Inner Mongolia in Jalan Pudu for dinner just now with my family. DELICIOUS!!! OISHIIII!!! SEDAP!!! HOU SEK!!! I should have brought my cam to take pictures but I didn't so you all will just have to imagine the dish in your heads :P

Dish 1: "La Pi" Direct translation in English is "Pulled Skin". It's basically dried noodles, some strips of carrots and cucumber with Mongolian sauce. The self made noodles tasted like "Chee Cheong Fun" but the flour they used was less sticky and chewier. Very nice. The Mongolian sauce tasted like Curry Laksa with Wasabi and vinegar. Rating: 10/10

Dish 2: "Hong Sou Yang Rou Ku" Mongolian style lamb shank. Direct translation in English is "Red Burnt Lamb Shank". This is really really nice! But I don't recommend this dish to people who cannot take lamb/goat or cannot stand the smell of the meat. The 'sou mei' is really strong. I don't know how they did the lamb but it's really good. Some dried chilies and they also used a lot of spices found in Indian green curry and 'Muruku'. Rating: 10/10

Dish 3: "Suan Chai Pai Rou" Salted vegetable soup. Direct translation in English is "Salty Vegetables White Meat". Salted white long cabbage (the ones where they use to make 'Kim Chi', the Korean dish) soup boiled in (I think) all kinds of pig internals. Very thin slices of pork strips are also found in the soup with home made flour noodles which tasted like boiled Sago seeds. I think they might have crushed Sago seeds and used it to make the noodles. The saltiness of the soup was just nice. I really enjoyed it. Rating: 10/10

Dish 4: Mongolian Popia thingy. I forgot the name of the dish but basically it's like a Chinese version of the Tortilla. The dish came with Mongolian style Tortilla wraps the size of smaller than a CD, and stir fried pork Mongolian style with thin strips of raw celery. Just wrap the meat, vegetables with the skin and viola! A rating 9/10 into the mouth and into the stomach.

Dish 5: Stir fried celery, nuts and lily. This dish is actually not new to me. I've eaten this in other Chinese restaurants before. Basically it’s actually celery, cashew nuts and the petals of white water lily stirred fried together with some chicken sauce. Rating: 8/10

Dish 6: "Cuah Fen" Direct translation in English is "Catch Flour". This is actually pulled flour with a little bit of 'kau choy' (Direct translation in English is "Dog vegetables". Tasted like a plain version of the Taiwanese Pizza but less oil as (I think) the flour wasn't fried like the way Taiwanese Pizza is made. This came in a big portion because this Cuah Fen is actually eaten with all the rest of the dish. According to the waitress, if Mongolians do not eat rice, they would substitute the rice with Cuah Fen. Rating: 9/10 (eaten plain).

Dish 7: "Soo Ping" Fried vegetarian dumpling. Direct translation in English is "Vegetarian Biscuit". This is like 'Wooh Tip' but the flour used is much nicer and thinner. The fillings are actually scrambled eggs with 'kau choy'. My Mom, Bro and Sis ate a little of small dried shrimp in the Soo Ping but I didn't, supposed to be vegetarian right?... I think it was some kind of fried fermented beans. Shouldn't be seafood because Mongolia is like land land and land only right? Not sure about that. Rating: 7/10

With all that good food, the bill only came up to RM113. The cashier said in Mandarin "So I can collect RM120 from you right?" My mom didn't really 'process' what the cashier was saying so my mom just said yes. LOL! But RM120 is still cheap for all that GOOD FOOD! I really really like the place. Two thumbs up! I really recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes to try out new dishes. For those who enjoy food, this is a restaurant you would not want to miss.

They also have Mongolian steamboat in that restaurant too. We didn't try that but from the looks of it, the steamboat is like the typical China Chinese steamboat that we have already tried before. If you have no idea what\how China Chinese steamboat looks or taste like, then you should really head to Inner Mongolia or Restaurant Red Chili "Hong Lat Chiu" (also located some where in Pudu. They have 3 red chilies as their restaurant’s logo) to check it out. Restaurant Red Chilie however serves more to the Sei Chuan style dishes.

Bwahahahaha yum yum!
