This was my first time having steamboat in Singapore, I have done some reviews before I decided to try on this restaurant. Most of them were saying this was value for money, seafood was fresh, even have bamboo shoot clam and cockle, etc. Frankly, by reading the reviews it was tempting to try. We reached there before the dinner crowd around 6+pm.It was a small restaurant with overcrowded tables, no aircon!

This was my first time having steamboat in Singapore, I have done some reviews before I decided to try on this restaurant. Most of them were saying this was value for money, seafood was fresh, even have bamboo shoot clam and cockle, etc. Frankly, by reading the reviews it was tempting to try. We reached there before the dinner crowd around 6+pm.It was a small restaurant with overcrowded tables, no aircon! Food was putting on the corner of the restaurant, variety wise, not as much as I was thinking, few types of vegetable, some cooked food(cold), raw meat-pork, beef and chicken, prawn. It could be time was still early, we wanted to try the bamboo shoot clam and cockle eagerly, they were not fresh at all, it seemed they were left over from lunch! After a while, when there were more dinners, then they refilled most of the items. We tried clam and cockle again, although they were a bit fresher than the first batch, they were still not up to the standard.
I didn’t try their cold cooked food as they didn’t look good to me. Whereas I tried the deep fried egg, they were lumps and tasteless, way too far to improve. Fruits have pineapple and watermelon, thinly slice. Soup base contained MSG.
It was really out of our expectation and the worse steamboat I have at a restaurant. Having said that it was almost full house that evening! I have steamboat in Hongkong, variety of food and fresh, price wise around S$20+ at a aircon restaurant.Post
