Happy Garden - Resto Cina & Bubur

Happy Garden - Chinese Restaurant & Porridge

Happy Garden - Bubur ayam

Happy Garden ini adalah salah satu pioner resto di Surabaya yang menjadikan bubur sebagai menu utama, sebelumnya kalau ingin bubur di tempat yang enak, biasanya saya ke resto Dim Sum seperti di Orchid- Garden Palace hotel dan sejenisnya. 

Pada awal tahun 2000, di tempat yang sama, Andika Plasa, ada dua resto yang menyediakan hidangan bubur, yang satu Happy Garden, sedangkan lainnya adalah cabang pertama YungHo.
Beberapa tahun kemudian, karena kurang laku Yungho cabang Andika Plasa ditutup, dan mereka membuka cabang-cabang baru di sekitar Surabaya, sedangkan Happy Garden tetap buka di sini dan membuka cabang di G-Walk, Citraland.

Happy Garden Chinese Restaurant is one of the first to serve porridge as a main item, previously if we want to get porridge in a good restaurant, we usually go to have Dim Sum in Orchid Garden Palace Hotel and other Dim Sum proprietor.

In around the year 2000, in this same area of Andika Plasa, there are two restaurant that open side by side, serving porridge as their main menu, one is Happy Garden, the other is Yungho.

A few years later, due to the lack of customer, this first branch of Yung ho was closed, and they open up more branches in other area, while Happy Garden stays here and open up another branch in G-Walk (West Surabaya)

Happy Garden Surabaya - Guilinggao 龟苓膏

This bitter sweet dessert is quite nice, with loads of medicinal quality. Here's a short description of it from Wikipedia : 

Guīlínggāo, also known as Tortoise Jelly (though not technically correct) or Turtle Jelly, is a jelly-like Chinese medicine, also sold as a dessert. It was traditionally made from the powdered plastron (bottom shell) from the turtle Cuora trifasciata (commonly known as "three-lined box turtle", or "golden coin turtle", 金錢龜)^[1] and a variety of herbal products, in particular, China roots Smilax glabra (土伏苓, Tu fu ling).^[2][3] Although the golden coin turtle (Cuora trifasciata) is commercially farmed in modern China, it is extremely expensive;^[4] therefore, even when turtle-derived ingredients are used in commercially available guīlínggāo, they come from other, more commonly available, turtle species.^[1][5]

More often, commercially available guīlínggāo sold as a dessert does not contain turtle shell powder at all, despite the product name and the prominent turtle images on most brands' labels. They do, however, share the same herbal additives as the medicine and are similarly marketed as being good for skin complexion when ingested.
