Back at Lao Huo Tang trying more of their soups and dishes.
Pork tripe and ginko nut soup (养生腐竹猪肚汤) - for some reasons I had been expecting this to be very peppery until I re-read the menu. They did not mention pepper. Must have been because of the tripe which I normally associate with being cooked in a peppery broth or I've been thinking of the one at 藝 yì by Jereme Leung. No pepper for this one. Tripe was tender and chewy. Not a bad soup.
What I did not anticipate and was pleasantly surprised by from the their lotus root soup with pork ribs and peanut (养颜莲藕花生排骨汤) were the dried cuttlefish that was used. This added plentiful umami. Tasted a lot better than I had imagined of what I thought would be a boring lotus root soup.
Decent fried egg with sliced bitter gourd there.
This was steamed chicken with mushrooms and lup cheong. I was thinking of this rendition when I ordered it. Not exactly in the same leagues but I don't mind eating this again. The main ingredients along with the goji berries and light soy sauce coalesced together nicely through the steaming.
