Had heard about the opening of a new steamboat establishment via openrice's edm and being an avid steamboat lover, I finally decided to try it out.In summary, the overall steamboat experience was an utter letdown, for the following reasons:1. The sauces available were simply a joke. There was only vinegar, chopped chilli padi, chopped spring onions, chopped parsley and 1 other which I can't remember what it was. There was NO light soy sauce or chilli sauce at all, we had to ask the waitress for
In summary, the overall steamboat experience was an utter letdown, for the following reasons:
1. The sauces available were simply a joke. There was only vinegar, chopped chilli padi, chopped spring onions, chopped parsley and 1 other which I can't remember what it was. There was NO light soy sauce or chilli sauce at all, we had to ask the waitress for it and she took a while to return with 1 sauce tray of light soy sauce and a small pump of bottled "maggi" chilli sauce.
2. Fish head soup base was very fishy.
3. Wild mushroom soup base was a tad salty.
4. Food menu is acceptable with the usual steamboat items available but seriously, it doesn't make sense to comment on the food since they are served uncooked in original form.
5. Price = Disgustingly steep for the quality! Our S$125 bill includes: 2 individual soup bases, 8 tiger prawns, pork collar, chicken, chef vegetable platter, sea cucumber, enoki mushroom, fish slices, and a pot of chinese tea.
6. Trival shortcomings include: no wet tissue and no separate spoon other than the small metal scoop provided to scoop out your cooked food (but I supposed it's meant for dua use).
For an establishment to provide steamboat as its themed cuisine, King Pot doens't understand and wasn't able to provide the prerequisites needed to offer an enjoyable steamboat meal.
Will not return and will not recommend anyone to try it.
