I haven’t been to this place for ages, we used to go quite often, and got kind of sick of it, felt like a bit of steamboat and was around the area, so headed off to Talipon.
It’s recommended to go early, about 5.30-6pm when they are just opening for the freshest food and as many prawns as you can eat!
What you get is this, a normal steamboat thing, plus around it a tinfoil part on which you can grill things.
Grab some butter to start up the grilling.
Then grab all the good stuff!
The beef is ok, a little chewy, the marinated lamb is very good grilled.
They have all the normal stuff too like seaweed, tofu skin, mushrooms etc (mushroom are nice grilled or in the soup).
So fire on some butter and start grilling.
Yummy beef steak!
My favourite lamb chop!
Then my favourite, prawns!
Get a bowl of chilli sauce, throw the prawns in, splash some beer in and let them marinate for a few minutes, then marinate on the grill with plenty of butter and pour a little of the chili/beer mix over the top while they cook.
Perfect
Ah, happy times, food and beer!
The soup is delicious once you’ve boiled enough things inside (add some baby corn to make it sweeter).
The grill ends up looking like this..
You can ask for some new foil it if gets too black.
Restoran Talipon, I recommend it (remember go early).
when we were there, it took forever for the shit in the pot to cook! and the oil kept flying everywhere! damn dangerous sial.
It’s high time to go for the Asam prawn next door again. Been a while since we had that.
Looks great! However, last time when I tried the restaurant, the place was a little dirty.
Now that’s a lot of char. Frightening…
the fun part is to splash the soup onto the grill so that the butter splatters.
and then when the soup clears up the stuck carbon on the foil, u can drink it all up for mucho healthy goodness…
the scar on my arm from talipon still here..but damn i love the place, don’t mind 10 more oil splatters. omg i miss asam prawnnnnnnn
there’s a branch in my area, Cheras, it’s just opposite the Middle Ring Road, it’s good and fresh, provided u come over early too 🙂
omg. pls ask me along if you guys are going for assam prawn.
eh ST how much is it per person?
the foils over hot grill spells cancer ! why don’t we have a good BBQ
