"This is not those modern days kinda hotpot restaurant, but rather is those old school 90s kinda simple steamboat shop. They charge per head, rm28 per pax. And ingredients are served to you by per head, inclusive of processed hotpot ingredients, some vege, seafood, beehoon. Honestly speaking, the portion for us is quite satisfying. Any extra ingredients you want, can add on ala carte. Soup base, only got clear soup or tomyam. I loveeee their soup, it is not too salty, tomyam one is not the typical thai style, I'd say theirs is the local one where it is sweet, not sour, not spicy. My old folks do love them! Very simple ah-ma house kinda steamboat shop. I won't say it suits nowadays youngster's tastebuds, but they do have their regular customers. If you fancy some old school simple basic steamboat, this is the place for you."
