Treasure Pot 'All-You-Can-Eat' Steamboat @ Ipoh

The only 'all you can eat' steamboat in Ipoh that offers sliced pork. Located at Festival Walk, few doors away from Sushi Zento.

Last time, this restaurant was going ala carte, prices were rather high, so we never went in to eat and we do see it quite empty most of the time. But then, it changed to an 'all you can eat' concept, you need to book your table!

Well... It's not really RM25 for everything. You can opt for upgrades to better things, like better broth, better fish and better other things. But to us, the basics are quite good already. We didn't do any upgrades.

Peng Hwa Lok Lok @ Penang

.... And this isn't fully laid out yet!!!

Lok lok is steamboat on skewers. I love steamboat but find lok lok to be costlier than regular steamboat. That is the main deterrent for me to indulge.

But whenever I come to Penang, I yearn for Lok lok, because of the affordability and the type of things they offer. The last time I had it here at Peng Hwa was 8 years ago, before I had my first baby. Now that all 3 kids are bigger, we try to bring them and eat hawker food, rather than just staying in 'child friendly, air conditioned' places.

Village BBQ Steamboat @ Bandar Puteri, Puchong

I'm a steamboat fan, especially buffet steamboats.

I came here with a few of my buddies and we can say that we ate our money's worth. We sat at the upper level. Not as crowded, but warmer.

Praises:

1. Fresh!! Crabs, prawns, fish, meat , all fresh !! There's mussels, scallops, lots of fresh prawns and crab, clams, snails, perfect if you're a fan of seafood.

2. Bathroom is clean.

Not so happy:

1. Vegetables not cleaned. We took the 'tong Ho' into the bathroom and washed away the sand.

2. The 'plates' were limited. Use only what is given, no clearing, no extra clean plates.

As for taste.... It's always subjective. We like the chicken wings, the satay skewers, but didn't enjoy the foil wrapped fish.
