I went to Juru Auto City with 2 of my friends 4 months ago for one of my friends’ belated birthday. Her birthday was in May. Since 3 of us were busy on different time, we have no choice to postpone the birthday celebration one month later. My friend suggested we went for the Szechuan super hot steamboat (Ma La Steamboat) in Jiu Jiu Szechuan Restaurant.
We ordered the steamboat for 2 persons although we have 3. We scared we cannot finish the food.
It comes with 2 soups: one with super duper hot and another one with the Chinese ingredients: red dates, wolf berries and some Chinese herbs.
As you can see, the Ma La soup was full of chilies, peppers and spices. For those who cannot eat spicy food, this will definitely scared them out!
The steamboat ingredients include fishes, prawns, squids, meats, potatoes slices, lotus roots, fish balls, toufu, vegetables, mushrooms, wood ears, dumplings and noodles.
The super hot soup was really fantastic. It was so hot until I sweated and my tongue became numb after eating, but I just like it. I only tested a little bit on the Chinese ingredients soup. I prefer the hot and spicy! 🙂
After the steamboat, we ordered some desserts, Szechuan ‘Lai Tang Yuan’ and Donkey Roll.
Szechuan ‘Lai Tang Yuan’ was really yummy. There are wolf berries in the soup as well.
The Tang Yuan is filled with black sesame. The skin of the Tang Yuan was thin and the black sesame was a lot. Oh…… I like black sesame filling Tang Yuan. It is a must try dessert.
Donkey Roll. If you see the name in the menu without looking at the photo, I don’t think you will have any idea on what is that. Is it a dessert with donkey meat? LOL. At first, I have no idea as well. But if you are referring to the Chinese name, then you will know. It’s translated directly from the Chinese name.
Donkey Roll is a traditional Beijing snack. It’s almost the same as the Muar Chee. The different is, each of them was filled with red bean paste and scattered with the peanut on top.
If you asked me how much we spent for the dinner, I am afraid I am not able to let you know. It was 4 months ago and the important reason is, I am not the one who pay the bill. My friend treated us. LOL.

Donkey Roll is what I would love to try…although it sounds kind of meaty…haha
new format of map! nice… but i can’t find where is the restaurant at the map…
Why did they call it donkey roll then?:p
Oh ya, they have a branch in i-avenue in Bayan Baru too, right?
Szechuan cuisine often comes with lots of dried chilies, spiiiiiiiiiiiiicyyyyyyyyy!
LOL, how come the name so donkey one? Do they have horse roll? btw, now ur pictures look very blur. Instead of I myself kena now is ur turn. Muahaha….
Does that mean that you are impressed with the food you had at Jiu Jiu or…?!
Tang yuan! Haha another dessert that has not eat for a long time… Come to think about it hardly have any tang yuan around except during festive period.
nice map! 🙂
and the donkey rolls looks good. i like this place but since its in auto city…don’t always get to go cos too far liao! lol
Donkey roll looks interesting. Ma La steamboat… wanna try it out too.
Jiu Jiu Szechuan Restaurant… dun have good experience with them…. :(.. pricey…. 🙁
The ingredients are different from the steamboat we normally have. Got potatoes, wood ear~~
Finally you posted this one, I miss the dessert, hehe. I think if no mistaken the bill should be less than RM100.00.
Jiu Jiu? Such a cute name.. haha. Well, from what I can see, the amount of food served is not much. It would be great if you could remember how much your friend spent on the meal. At least we won;t get slaughtered.. 😛
