Rainy days lately call for something warm, comforting, and straight-up soothing—hotpot. I searched online for a reasonably priced buffet spot with decent ingredients and fresh seafood, and lucky me, I found one within walking distance from home.
Booking through WhatsApp was effortless; their replies came quickly. The restaurant is tucked quietly behind Pintas Avenue with a wide open layout and even a playground inside, so families can dine while the kids stay entertained and burn their energy.
They offer several types of basic soup bases—chicken, tomato, and tom yum—while Sichuan mala requires an additional MYR18. At the same time, they’re also providing a complimentary kimchi soup base, though it comes with minor terms and conditions.
My favourite section was the seafood and vegetable (quite limited selection) counter, freshly prepared from the kitchen and well-maintained. Mr Hubby was busy creating his own DIY Thai red tea with boba, refilling soft drinks, and eating some of the cooked dishes.
Service-wise, the service crews included the lady boss stayed sharp and attentive: they monitored customers’ pots, offered soup base refills proactively, and replenished ingredients rapidly when running low. No one is complaining and looked genuinely content.
One of the coolest feature was the table buttons which available at each tables that raises and lowers the pot. You don’t lose your foods in the abyss or overcook anything, and it just makes the whole hotpot experience smoother and enjoyable. Superb!
I truly enjoyed myself, especially with the seafood—crabs and shrimp were the stars. They had frozen dory as fish slices, which was passable. There’s also a selection of marinated items prepared for grilling, though grilling comes with an MYR18 of add-on.
Snow beef rolls, chicken slices and other frozen selections for shabu-shabu are available as well, but they weren’t quite on par with Chinese hotpot standards. The colour leaned darker instead of fresh bright red, so the quality felt a bit underwhelming.
Still, the entire setup was thoughtful and complete, down to providing plastic gloves. It’s a solid hotpot buffet with good value, wide variety, attentive service, and a steady flow of fresh ingredients. Definitely worth checking out and stay tuned at their Facebook page.
Kthxbye.
