Lu Ding Kee 炉鼎记 @ Pudu
Before I was brought to XiaoLao Wang Hotpot, I’ve actually tried the Stomach with Chicken soup base steamboat at one of the many Chinese restaurants at Pudu. Being hub of Chinese cuisine eateries at KL area, one can get variety of regional cuisine being offered at restaurants here at Changkat Thambi Dollah named a few such as Dong Bei Cuisine, Sichuan Cuisine and Xiang Cuisine.
Lu Ding Kee, specialized in Chicken & Pig Stomach Hotpot was not hard to be located with its bright signboard and the red lanterns hanging in front of the shop.
The restaurant has adopted an oriental theme of gold and red with full blast air-cond to make sure the patrons enjoy their hotpot in a comfortable way~
Murals of their signature dishes decorated the walls ~ Chicken & Pig Stomach Hotpot & Sizzling Chicken Hotpot.
Chinese Tea (RM 6.00+ / pot)
Sterilized Cutlery (RM 1.00+/set)
I really had a grouse with these chargeable sterilized cutlery which is quite common in “Chinese Style” restaurants. >_<///
Chicken & Pig Stomach Pot (RM 68.00+)
A huge claypot of soup with a portable stove was brought to our table with the main ingredients of chicken and pig stomach hiding in it. The soup appeared in murky colour with some wolfberries and red dates too. For the price we paid, we got half a chicken and a portion of pig stomach which were later taken out from the hotpot then cut into small pieces and “throw” back to the soup for re-boiling . One also can opted for bigger portion of a whole chicken + 2 portion of pig stomach for the price of RM 108.00+
The enticing aroma was emitting while the soup start boiling and I can’t wait to attack! The soup was intensely flavored by pepper with tinge of herbal, very comforting as each sip brings warmness to the stomach 🙂
The chicken pieces was not too meaty but the portion of the pig stomach was generous though and well cleaned too, no unpleasant smell was detected 😛
The hoptpot alone definitely can’t feed us up, so we’ve order some ala-carte item from the menu too.
Spinach (RM 6.00+)
Pork Belly (RM 12.00+)
La Mien (RM 8.00+)
This need quite a longer time to be cooked but I like the springy texture of the La Mien.
This is how Sam enjoyed her La Mien, slurp it up babe~~
Trying to escape? No way!
Verdict: Definitely not a place we can visit often since the price range is on higher side and I found that the peppery taste of the soup was too overwhelming, I still prefer THIS 😛

Ahh….Sterilized Cutlery (RM 1.00+/set)?! Cutlery pun kena charge? Imagine if go with 10 diners…that would be total of RM10+ edi. 🙁
Typo*..I meant total would be RM100+ edi… :-p
ya, they shouldn’t charged us =.=”
this sounds interesting, chicken wrapped inside pig stomach.. but yeah, it kind of pissed me off with that chargeable cutlery..
Wonder how they put the chicken into the pig stomach 🙂
Chargeable cutlery, that’s the first time I’ve read that in KL and it’s absurd, if that’s the case, can the customer bring their own cutlery set then? Even if it’s just RM1, I think that reason is enough for me to not dine in such place.
Is very common when you dine in at “Chinese” restaurant, I encountered this 3 times
When you mean Chinese, you mean China Chinese right?
Ya ya 😛
lol that trying to escape photo is hilarious!! lol u really creative!
Haha, many readers/FB friends comment that photo too!
its the norm I see over in that area. But I saw in one restaurant, there was a table that was using non wrapped cutlery and I assume they were not charge. I told myself next time to ask the restaurant if I can use normal cutlery and dishware… really dont think we shld be paying for this…
love that last photo lah… perfect for halloween… hehehe.. 😛
Aiyo, I should ask for the normal cutlery 🙁
