| - "Fulfilling" was the word my sister used to describe the hot pot special we had at lunch today. Right now, Vietnam Palace has a hot pot / hot plate special for $19.99/person - buy for 2 persons, the 3rd is free. The special is on till February 10, 2010. What a deal! Unlimited appetizers of spring rolls, salad rolls, pan fried dumplings and deep-fried chicken wings. You order the hot spot special off a list like a sushi list - what do you want to eat - beef, shrimp is extra $3.00 per person, suey choy (vege), onions, tofu, carrots, bean sprouts, noodles and rice. Choose the soup you want - satay, tom yum or sukiyaki.
We had the sukiyaki soup base - just a nice clear broth. Didn't feel like hot and spicy today. The beef we ordered was nicely sliced and it's AAA beef sirloin and quite lean. We threw in the onions, carrots and the stems of the suey choy first to get it going as it takes longer to cook. Once the soup boils, the beef goes in and it takes seconds to cook the beef. Don't overcook it or it will taste like tough leather! Dunk your beef etc into the peanut sauce they give you. It's so good!
The best part of it all is at the end when the beef has all been cooked and the beef broth is just so tasty. Every drop of our soup was drunk.
We came away very, very fulfilled as my sister says.
