Dinner at Luckypot SS2 Restaurant

What Chiefeater VK Ordered at Luckypot SS2

I recently had dinner at Luckypot in SS2, Petaling Jaya, an establishment specializing in authentic Hunan cuisine because Chiefeater Jon Besar arranged to dine here. The restaurant is known for its bold flavors and large, sharing-style claypots that are characteristic of the region's culinary traditions.

The meal began with a starter of fried mushrooms that packed a significant spicy wallop, immediately setting the tone for the robust flavors to follow.

The Taro Fish Pot was another standout; the Thai tilapia used in the dish had a lovely crunchy texture that paired well with the broth. I particularly liked the thickness and depth of the soup, which had its velvety texture enhanced by the taro.

The braised pork was alright.

The grilled lamb was flavorful.

I also really enjoyed the prawns, which were generously covered in a savory salted egg batter.
