Saturday Dinner@Soon Heng Steamboat

I believe this is still quite new, located just opposite Jalan Besar Stadium. It offers buffet ala carte style steamboat.

The thing about steamboat is the soup base, Soon Heng has chicken, tom yum, 麻辣, 六味, herbal, laksa .. Got one more, couldn't remember but only first 3 is included in the buffet price.

The rest you have to add $5 which still is reasonable.

The choice is chicken and laksa !

But somehow you don't get the select what you want to eat on the first round, they serve a default set, which doesn't really matters. Vege, golden mushrooms, beef, pork, chicken, all kinds of balls, pork liver, mushrooms, fish glue, prawns came. And a must mention is they served some cooked food like fried chicken wing, beef/pork korean style, deep fried tofu. The stuff are fresh and served up really fast, you need to go to Mcdonalds if you want anything faster. Like the beef which is sliced and rolled into small pieces when served. The laksa soup is really good, initial thought was it is lacking enough coconut milk, but not really, just the right spicy and laksa taste.



The deep fried tofu is nice, soft and bland on the inside but crispy and savoury on the outside. And of course the fried chicken wings, these are must try ! Not the usual prawn paste chicken wings, this is coated with something else, just the right crisp on the outside, you can hear it when your teeth goes through them, meat was quite tender. The korean BBQ pork/beef was normal, nothing fantastic.




Then if you think you need more, you just order again from the order sheet. From the sheet, there are more stuff like prawn dumplings, vermicelli, tomatoes, egg, more balls, etc. There is also dessert, Muah Chee which is not bad, and buffet style if at the end you still can eat it. At $19.90 for dinner with air-con, definitely worth coming back.
