Last minute decision to visit this place for a steamboat dinner. It was empty when we reached and was usher to a spacious 4 seats table. The shop is empty, except for 2 or 3 table of customer inside thus it wasn't as noisy as other steamboat shops (until a group of 10 students came in towards to end of our meal...)Get to choose 2 soup base (as usual, the yuan yang style) and of cos we chose one signature laksa broth and the other the herbal soup base.

Get to choose 2 soup base (as usual, the yuan yang style) and of cos we chose one signature laksa broth and the other the herbal soup base. Service was fast for the steamboat ingredients and they was place nicely in a large plate, good enough for the amount of people dining. Waited a bit for the fried food, which I get to know why. The kitchen staff will only fried it after it was being ordered, to ensure that these food and being served hot. How considerate they are, rather than fried a huge pot of it, cool it at a corner and served it when the customers order it. Definitely a huge plus point for me. Thumbs up for their prawn paste chicken wings - juicy and well marinated. Same goes to their fried mantou, samosa and beancurd too!
Their steamboat ingredients are the usual stuff - mixture of meat, seafood, veggies and Yong Tau Foo. Like their stuffed taupok though, after dipping them into the laksa broth. The meat however, was a little disappointment for me as they are rolled up and freeze - makes it difficult to "unroll" it back to the usual sliced one and after being cooked in the soup, the meat will become tough to chew. The chicken however, is thawed before served.
I like the herbal chicken broth aftermath - tasted sooo good (though salty) and it was one of the better one I had. The laksa broth however, was way too salty so after awhile I actually stop eating ingredients which is being cooked inside there.
There are only 3 waitresses on shift that night. It wasn't very packed so service was prompt. Guess because it was weekday night? Wonder if the service will be that fast if the restaurant is packed with people during weekends.
Think they had increases the price per person to $23.80++ instead of $20.80++. Drinks are excluded in the buffet list and each can of drinks is sold at $1.80 each.
Will definitely be back again for more steamboat!
