My first visit to this steamboat place today. It was generally a pleasant experience.It's a standard $18.80+ per pax steamboat buffet. You get to choose between 1/2/3 soup bases. For this visit, I picked the Wild Mushroom Soup and Preserved Vegetables with Fish Soup. What was pleasantly surprising was that for the latter, there were really big pieces of fish meat in the soup! And for the record, both soups were very tasty (though I preferred the Preserved Vegetables with Fish Soup). My frie
It's a standard $18.80+ per pax steamboat buffet. You get to choose between 1/2/3 soup bases. For this visit, I picked the Wild Mushroom Soup and Preserved Vegetables with Fish Soup. What was pleasantly surprising was that for the latter, there were really big pieces of fish meat in the soup! And for the record, both soups were very tasty (though I preferred the Preserved Vegetables with Fish Soup). My friend and I kept drinking the soup before the dishes were served to us!
(I later suspect that the soup could be so tasty due to high-MSG content, since I was often thirsty for the rest of the day!)
The list of steamboat items were, however, not many. And what was most disappointing was that they did not have sliced pork!!! They did have sliced pork belly though but it was mostly fat. Thankfully, the sliced beef was good, though it can never beat the taste of pork! Another item I would recommend would be the chives dumpling, which is rich in flavour. The other items were average to me.
I had the mango pudding and some longan thingy for dessert. The former was very bland!!! So, pls skip this item! One mouthful and I left the rest untouched. The longan thingy was, on the other hand, very good! It's not too sweet and served chilled. I had 3 servings of this! Much needed to quench my thirst from the suspected high-MSG content in the soup! (Had requested for a bigger serving bowl but was declined. Oh well! They could wash more bowls then!)
The sauces are located at the back. Sadly, I didn't noticed them until i was more than half done. The waitresses seemed to be all PRC but their service were generally ok.
Will I be visiting this place again? Probably, but definitely not in the near future cos' I'm am feeling thirsty since lunch....
