Zhong Hua Herbal Chicken Pot 中华药膳鸡火锅 @ Bayan Lepas, Penang.

Zhong Hua Herbal Chicken Pot 中华药膳鸡火锅 is one of the new additions to Bayan Bay (the shop houses outside of Queensbay Mall); manned by China Chinese, the place serves only one type of food- Herbal Chicken Pot. There are other toppings and sides to be added but the main draw here is the Herbal Chicken Pot. An alternative to the usual Hot Pot and suitable for family dine-out. 


2 Pax Set with 4 types of Vegetables (Rm 78)


Cuttlefish Balls (Rm 7)


Hand-pulled Noodles (Rm 8)

The 2-pax Herbal Chicken Pot consists of half a bird of Chicken and seemingly invigorating broth. The broth was light and easy on the palate, backed by a mild, comforting herbaceous flavor. Probably they used free-range Chicken, the meat was slightly rough and chewy. The proprietor introduced their Chili flakes and Black Vinegar; which introduced another layer of dimension to the dish. The Chili flakes were tongue-numbingly hot (not joking here) but we got so addicted to them and we could not stop ourselves from adding the Chili flakes. Not bad for a change but not something that I would want to eat on a regular basis.
