I'm a big fan of Lao Ma Zi Steamboat Restaurant. I usually frequent the restaurant once a month for its steamboat (They serve other ala carte dishes as well). The chicken broth is excellent and the "ma la" (spicy) broth can be adjusted to one's level of spiciness. Just let them know in advance! I have many praises for the chicken broth and it's one of the better ones I've tasted. On the other hand, I do not enjoy spicy food so I didn't enjoy the spicy broth but my sister seems to like the latter
Drinks are sold separately but prices are definitely reasonable. They cost about SGD 2-3 per can? It's a price one can expect when dining outside.
I prefer Lao Ma Zi to other restaurants namely because they serve the dishes to order. Simply tick what you wish to eat on the menu and one of the servers will bring it out for you. It feels a lot cleaner that way compared to some steamboat buffets. Service is very prompt. Your food will be served quickly! A highlight of the restaurant, one which I simply enjoy, are the fried buns! They are delicious when dipped in condensed milk or eaten alone. They're free and they might be out to enjoy some time of the day if you're lucky! Nevertheless, in my opinion, I love this restaurant and my friends whom I bring to the restaurant had many positive feedback on the place as well!
