Lou Xiang's signature Crab Porridge is i of the must-orders. Unlike those that are cooked for hours, Lou Xiang's Porridge has the rice-shape maintained; but the seafood sweetness is non compromised. Our lodge was served amongst 2 relatively huge mud crabs, together with for the cost of Rm 66, nosotros idea it was a cost worth-paying for. While the Crab Porridge was amazing, their Braised Chicken amongst Soy Sauce was as delicious. The Chicken was nearly tender amongst a mellow sweetness together with sleek Rose-wine flavor.
