Came up with this idea of visiting this steamboat restaurant when me and her pals are stuck after the initial place that we wanted to visit are fully booked! On reaching a consensus to source for another steamboat restaurant, San Katong just struck a cord on my mind and with no further hesitation i called in and make a reservation for 4 pax and viola....we got our table booked!
Upon reaching...the restaurant is about 50 % packed and we were seated nicely @ one corner of the premises in less than 1 min. Service are prompt with no delay and was shown with their ala carte order chit immediately. With my "adrenalin" pumping within me, we ordered the yuan yang steamboat that consist their house special which is the laksa stock by clear stock and packed our list of order with prawns, mushroom, veggies and the usual suspects to build up on the ultimate soup stock ! However, i must raise the awareness of their fish paste as its a big thumbs up from me. The paste is fishy but the taste and texture with the correct touch of freshnes blending it into the stock equates to the relaxation by the sea so the fish paste is a must have for all!
The laksa stock to my surprise is clean and light, less the rough touch of the "hAir bee hiang" and its not spicy in any bits but not forsaking on the basic instinct of the usual laksa stock that are readily available in Katong which is the sacred ground of laksa. For spicy lovers, do not that there are 3 kind of chillis that are specially prepared by the owners so for anybody that are keen to play with "FIRE" you will not be disappointed.
The clear stock is nicely blend with a strong touch of the "wang dou" and all the food ingredients are all freshly prepared and the prawns just stand out from the list! The only complain that i have are the meat which are too thinly sliced and lacked the robust feel that the meat should have.
Overall, the steamboat experience is all well in place and highly recommended for group gatherings for any occasions. Ups for it!
