Spicy Soup (Serdang)

I didn't notice that there is the existence of this restaurant until I came across it from a newspaper. The restaurant is not really located in an isolated place, but it is somehow a little bit hidden from the main road. Anyway, today I would like to introduce the spicy soup from Serdang to all of you.

That place is quite famous with its spicy soup and stewed chicken in Chinese wine I think as the place has quite an amount of eaters the time we visited it. The spicy soup is actually heavily "pepper-ed" soup with various pork intestines and organs. The soup I wouldn't say is the spicy as in from the curry, but it seems overwhelmingly warming up my stomach. If it is a cold rainy day, it would have been a very right choice to have the warm spicy soup go through your throat and warming up your whole body.

As for the stewed chicken in Chinese wine, the smell of this dish is very nice, credit to the Chinese wine. The Chinese wine used is Huadiao Jiu (花雕酒). Taste-wise, it has rich flavour of Chinese wine and black soya sauce.

Huadiao jiu (花雕酒; pinyin: huādiāo jiǔ; lit. "flowery carving wine"), also known as nu'er hong (女儿红; pinyin: nǚ'ér hóng, lit. "daughter red"): a variety of huangjiu that originates from Shaoxing, in the eastern coastal province of Zhejiang. It is made of glutinous rice and wheat.

Another dish I want to introduce is the vegetables (油菜). This is so far the most crunchy vegetables that I have tasted. Even though it's cooked, but the crunchiness still remains. We all agreed that this vegetables is cooked perfectly. It's not very oily and it's crunchy! By the way, is crunchy a right word? :P
