#9 – Wan He Lou
Introduction: Inspiration often strikes when you least expect it. For Chef Lau Siaw Dee , it was during a regular diving trip off the shores of Desaru.
An avid diver, Chef Lau was out on a routine leisure trip with his friends when he caught a lobster and decided to cook it for dinner. As they were on an isolated island, he could only find rice from the locals so he decided to make porridge using seawater and the lobster. The fresh sea flavours of the lobster worked so well with the porridge that Chef Dee continued to experiment and refine the dish after he had gone home.
That was how 萬合樓 (Wàn Hé Lóu) signature dish – the award winning Lobster Porridge was born. This is but one of many delectable dishes created by culinary ingenuity of Chef Lau. Besides Chef Lau’s other awards and achievement, this particular dish had won the top prize at a culinary event which was part of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The porridge is cooked Teochew style with loose rice grains swimming in rich golden soup enhanced with lobster roe and accompanied by bright springy lobster. A blanket of fresh spring onions completes the dish, resulting in a dish that is comforting and yet fresh without being too rich.
