Steamboat Buffet @ Tasty Pot BBQ Steamboat Buffet Restaurant, Sunway Mentari

*Pork-Free Food*

Thank you Wenny of Tasty Pot and Tim from 3-meals.com for inviting me for the Tasty Pot BBQ Steamboat Restaurant food review session.

I've personally came here with Rachel for a birthday celebration dated a few weeks back.

The place itself was gigantic. Its the first time in my life to see a steamboat restaurant with 4 dedicated levels / floors for steamboat buffet. I kid you not. 4 floors of steamboat!!



The massive building of steamboat!! Whoaaa....

If you wondering where's the place is, its located at Sunway Mentari and I attached a map below. Lots of parking spaces.

Well, let me show some of the buffet foods available...



Check out the variety of foods! I would call this personally, the "balls" counter. From fish to chicken balls, many variety of balls except pork balls. Tasty Pot is a Pork Free restaurant.



Can you see seafood?



All fresh fresh...



Green green vege vege...



Very fresh seafood.... big prawns, "sotong", crabs and many more...



Rachel took this, definitely not me...



Check out the size of that crab!



Tasty Pot offered a unique combination of soups. Soya Bean soup, Curry Soya Bean soup, HK Satin Porridge / Congee soup, Chong Qing (Ma Lat) Spicy soup, Thai Tom Yam soup and Chinese Herbal soup. Top left was the Soya Bean soup and top right was the Chinese Herbal soup.



Left was the Thai Tom Yam soup while the right was the Chong Qing (Ma Lat) Spicy soup. Chong Qing (Ma Lat) Spicy soup is for the hardcore spicy soup lovers.

Every soup has their own distinct flavour, I always prefer the Chinese Herbal soup. Rachel loved the spicy soup. The Soya Bean soup tasted slightly "too new" for my taste bud but some might loved it as well.

For your information, they have grill section that offered grill seafood and grill lamb as well.

It was a wonderful eating experience and it was great to meet new friends like Renee and Wai Ching.

Price per pax is RM 23.80. To me the pricing is not too bad.

Unique Chinese Steamboat @ Ruen Pech, Bangkok

The first night of my latest Bangkok trip was treated with a lovely Chinese steamboat cuisine. Located at the opposite of Amari Atrium Hotel, this 2 storeys Chinese steamboat restaurant is one of the pioneer Chinese steamboat restaurants in Bangkok. Given such a long history, this place are quite popular with some of the locals there.

Since its only 2 of us, me and Pete (my bestie), we ordered a "few" things for our steamboat. The vege dish was unique. Translated it as 3 nuts vege, the vege was stir fried until crispy with 3 different types of nuts. Even though I felt its a bit oily, this unique vege dish I had not seen anywhere else before.

The steamboat to me was not much difference when the orders came. Yet, the dumplings and the taufu were good.

Pete said the best was this beef dish. Beef marinated with chinese wine and egg, the beef then needed to be mixed all the ingredients all together. Lightly dipped into the boiling steamboat, the taste of the beef will be pretty good. In order to have a greater taste of the wine, dipped the beef into the steamboat then dipped into the sauce again. That will bring the special sauce to taste.

The service there was excellent. The feast cost us around 600Baht. I tried to get the address in English, no luck. But I managed to get its number. This place is a nice place to try out. Tour companies or tour guides will never bring you to such places. One thing good about free and easy is you can try out different type of restaurants.

Tiang Seng Pulau Ketam Steamboat @ Taman Desa (Oct 08)

* NON - HALAL

The places that you often go to eat are the ones you gonna neglect about them. To my knowledge, there's a few popular steamboat restaurants here in Taman Desa. Tiang Seng is one of them.
Often it will be packed at night times. You can even see Japanese customers as there are a small Japanese community staying in Taman Desa. The lady boss runs the show here and she is very friendly.

The food here are freshly transported from Pulau Ketam as she claimed. The soup here is good and especially the chilli sauce. Usually a set will cost less than RM 15 per pax (min 2 pax) excluding the lovely side orders they have. I loved their side orders such as pork balls, special taufu and a few more. Its a good place for steamboat.

Taiwanese Steamboat @Tian Xiang Hui Wei

Tian Xiang is actually a chain of steamboat restaurant in Taiwan. If I'm not mistaken they have at least more than 20 outlets in Taiwan.

This place is different than the usual steamboat joint. Most of the ingredients used are expensive and imported. The last time I went, there were 2 soup base, herbal soup or spicy (ma lat) soup...

Soup base is around RM 30++ excluding food...

The herbal soup consists of more than 20+ herbs without MSG. To make things more interesting, they never serve chilli.

One thing I love about this place is the thin sliced pork....

The herbal soup...
Beef slices that is so good...

The feast begin...

The place is well decorated with individual VIP rooms. The place itself was very cosy and service there were excellent. The food are priced per plate. Meats are normally RM 10++ per plate. For the table of 10, we forked around RM 400- RM 600 per table. I've been to this place for a couple of times and I don't mind going back again. Its something different. Spicy (ma lat) is not for the weaklings. I felt heat after taking the spicy soup... something you might want to try....

Ho Ho Steamboat @ Sri Petaling

Steamboat is one of my fav food also. Many might judge my size due to my love for food. I believe finding good food is not easy. Steamboat restaurants are everywhere but getting a good one might need a little of effort.

Sri Petaling has quite a few steamboat restaurant but Ho Ho is one of the famous joint there.

Night time are usually packed and crowded.

Steamboat set comes in per pax...

I love the yam...
The enjoyment of bunch of friends enjoying food together, steamboat. Some people might feel its unhygienic, but there's always cookery set. The food served here were fresh and the portion wss quite big as well. The soup was nice as well. Here and there one person should not exceed RM 30 inclusive of side orders.

I feel it was a good steamboat restaurant and I don't mind going back again. Lovely...
