This is one of my favourite venue to have steamboat buffet. The place is very spacious and the environment is very cooling as well. The favourite section for me will be the vegetable section as they always top up the items regularly and also the vegetables available in their buffet are all very fresh and crunchy. More people like me who is very lazy to prepare vegetable to eat, here is really simple and convenient to have it. The price is also consider quite reasonable as compared with other places' steamboat buffet.

Stopped by to check Joaquim out with a friend and we decided to drop in for lunch since the buffet prices were reasonable and the spread seemed really good.The restaurant is located at the ground floor of the convention centre in Suntec City. It basically an open area, which can make it quite uncomfortable at times when people walk by and look at you eat. The service there is also much to be desired. The staff aren''t very friendly and they seem unwilling to serve. Well then again, at that price, what more can I expect?Food wise, the spread is good and quite typical of teochew porridge, with the usual dishes, and generally quite well-prepared.

After our recent trip to Joaquim, we were given a voucher to come back for a 1 for 1 buffet. As I really love the crispy skin roast pork, my first stop was to march to the counter but they were not serving it. Quite a pity actually. But I had some other nice food too. First on our table is their version of mee soto. It's a buffet so do not expect a big bowl. This tiny bowl is yummy especially the soup. I drank up the entire bowl. It wasn't very oily unlike those you see in hawker centre where there's one inch of oil on top of the soup. The noodles blends in very well with the soup base and you can't even feel the starchy taste that normally comes with fat yellow noodles.Didn't get to mix my own rojak. It was done by one of the chefs at the counter. The sweetness is just right. Peanut was also sparingly added.Again poh piah was soggy coz we left it on the table for too long before consuming it. That's the problem with bringing too many items onto the table. Should have ordered this only when we want to eat. But the fillings is good. Didn't taste too salty or sweet. I can say that it is just right for my taste bud. Would have been less cold if we didn't leave it there for so long.We still like the chilli crab sauce. They will cook the seafood for you (except fish) and you get to choose the sauce. This time we had mussels, prawns and crabs.We order two soup base. My partner had the tom yam and I had the chicken. As they are not using the normal stove, we can't adjust the temperature. So if there's not enough good in there, you will see your soup boiling. To get around it, I'll normally stuff lots of veges. I love veges so I tend to eat everything I stuff in the little pot.Tried abit of the chicken rice coz the soup was too filling. Wasn't exactly the chicken taste you get at hawker centre. The taste was too blend. The chicken meat was tender though...so it made up for the lack of taste in the rice.First dessert was the burbur hitam. I found it too sticky. Looks more like sticky glue than a dessert. But I ate it anyway. Didn't think it was any special.Left the cakes to the last bit. Logan almond jelly was ok. Mango pudding wasn't too spectacular that I would want to brag about. The carrot cake wasn't too amazing either. The cream on top was tasteless. Would be good if it can be slightly sweeter abit. But then again, it's a personal taste. The tiramisu was the only dessert I can say it's nice We ordered coke 3 times before the service crew decides to serve it to us. That can definitely be improved.

Last sunday, the whole family went for a buffet at Joaquim. This restaurant is at Suntec City, so you definitely will not miss it. The steamboat concept is quite nice in that each of us had our own individual pot to cook our food instead of the usual big steamboat where everyone shares. I choose the tom yum soup base which is just ok in my opinion as I had better ones before. Also, the steamboat is really normal and not value for money since the ingredients are very common and normal steamboat ingredients. As for the more expensive meats like beef, it took quite long for them to refill it, so I didn't get to eat a lot of it. In addition to the steamboat, there are also desserts and a cooked food section, but nothing really stands out. Overall, given this price paid, I will definitely go elsewhere for buffet.

If you happen to visit here to have your steamboat buffet, do not forget to check it out on their Chinese Rojak as well. There will be a counter set up for this an a chef will be there to prepare for you only upon your order. Love the you tiao as is really crispy and fragrant. Also enjoyed the different types of vegetables and fruits in it which includes sliced mangoes, cucumbers, kang kong, beansprouts, pineapple, lemon glass and white carrot. The peanut used to top on the rojak is quite big and crunchy too. Love the dark thick gravy as it is rich in flavour and with slightly sour taste in it. Yummy!
