107. Steamboat Inn (Lu Zhi Guan)

I was at International Road yesterday and other than Tung Lok Seafood Restaurant (in The Arena Club), there aren't any other restaurants in the vicinity. So, dinner was settled at this tze char stall at the kopitiam next to Tung Lok. It is called the Steamboat Inn.
This is the fish steamboat that we ordered. Small portion @$25. The teochew style steamboat. It was quite good. The broth was milky and dark. Usually the broth used in such steamboats is clear. Not much ingredients other than the fish meat, white cabbage, fried yam sticks and seaweed. I still prefer the fish steamboat from Tian Wai Tian at Serangoon. Their fish steamboat is very popular and on weekend dinners, there is always a huge crowd.
Fried tofu in Thai Style @$8. I was almost deceived by the fried tofu's appearance. It looked so unappetizing. But I was wrong. The tofu was the kind of tofu that is used for cooking soup, the soft and silky kind instead of the harder kind which are used for frying. The exterior was deep fried till crispy and the interior was so smooth and the runny tofu just melt away in your mouth.
