Tasty Pot-Buffet BBQ Steamboat

I faced another round of 'battle' last night, and this time around it was at Tasty Pot- A Buffet BBQ Steamboat Restaurant. More and more steamboat restaurants are mushrooming in Sunway Mentari and Tasty Pot is one of them. Due to the quality of food they serve, it's definitely worthwhile for me to blog about.
When we reached there at 7:30pm, there were score of people already started their 'battle'.
There are 6 different kind of soup bases for you to choose; Soy Bean Soup, Curry Soy Bean Soup, Hong Kong Satin Porridge Base, Chong Qing Spicy Soup, Thai style Tom Yam Soup and Herbal Chicken Soup. Soy Bean Soup kinda new to us, therefore we chose Soy Bean Base and Porridge Base.
Make or create your own dip-sauce with different ingredients provided.
You can add different ingredients like yam, pumpkin, old cucumber, 'mok yee' black fungus and etc. to enhance your soup base's taste.


Different type of veggies...
Different type of balls... meat balls, fish balls, sotong balls, prawn balls and all sort of balls.
More balls....
Seafood section...
Prawns, Sotong, Jelly Fish.....
Different types of shell seafood..... bamboo clams, mussels, scallops & etc.
Crabs, oyster, cockles...


Ready-cooked items...

Curry chicken, sweet and sour fish, braised chicken feet, fried rice and fried meehoon (vermicelli). 2 empty tray had been sent back to the kitchen for replenishment.Their signature dish- Deep-fried chicken wing with a coat of special sauce. Very crispy and yummy!

Ready-grilled potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet corns, sausages and fish.

Selected seafood ready to cook.

Cooked seafood in my porridge based pot.

What a crab! Unlike others, they serve big crab.

As a non professional crab eater, I know craps about eating crab, so I just pick the crab claws.

If you are sick of eating the poached version, just ask Mr. Thomas and Mr. Billabong to help you grill your seafood.With their helps, very fast my crab claws were ready to eat.

The whole lamb being grilled. The lamb was very tasty. The only letdown was their sauce. They should serve with mint sauce instead of their 'special' sauce. (I don't know what sauce was that)

The grilled sotong(squids) -Not a small sotong they used. It was quite thick and grilled to perfection.

Aftermath....

The catastrophic scene above resembled a powerful strike by tsunami ?

Look at the crowds. Can you imagine it was a Tuesday night? Be there early if you wanna to try them out. Only RM23.80 nett per person excluding drinks, one hell of a 'battle' folks!

Let's Shabu Shabu...

强强滚 Shabu Shabu Restaurant, I believe it should be the 'In-thing' in Puchong nowadays. To be honest, never in my wildest imagination that steamboat can be now served in this clean, hygenic and innovative way. Keep reading and you will know how "inovative" it is.This Shabu Shabu Restaurant occupies 4 storey of 3 or 4 shop lots in Bandar Puteri Puchong which is just beside the Giant Hypermarket. It is a huge place and hard to miss especially with consistent flow of people waiting outside.

Some window advertisements...
Just RM26.50 nett per pax... eat till you drop!
Different type of foods they serve.... easily 100!
Check-in counter. Register yourself, wait for your name to be called and make payment before you eat.
Crowds waiting inside...
More crowds waiting outside...

Crowds eagerly waiting for their turns...

After 15 mins and finally my turn came... This would be the first scene to greet you. Rows of people sitting side by side and food in a small covered plastic box are rotating in front of them. You don't have to move your butts, you just need to lift your hand to pick whatever you like on the conveyor belt in front of you! How convenient!

If you are too busy with your food and miss the one on the conveyor belt which already passes you, don't worry, the food will be rotated back in front of you maybe in 5 mins time.

On my right...

On my left....

Everyone has their individual pot to manage. You can create your own soup base by adding different ingredients into your original soup - kimchi, ABC ( carrots) or whatever way you like.

The special dip-sauce... green onions, dried shallots and sesame seeds and sesame oil in soy sauce.

What a great reminder in front of you before you lose control.

Everything is still accounted for! When you have the normal steamboat meal where a big steamboat pot is used among your friends, many a time the food would have gone 'missing'. Now you don't have to worry someone else would have mistakenly take your food.

The thinly sliced pork. It was so good that I walloped 4 plates of this sliced pork.

The fried 'siu gau' and yam rolls.

Baby octopus... ready to eat.

The slush machines and other beverages.

Eggs on the conveyor belt...

Cooked seafood...

Ready to cook..

The waiter had numerous times removed these empty stacked-up plates from my table. Well, 'pai sey' (embarrassed) to tell you how many times.

By the time we left, there were at least 30 people still waiting for their turns to shabu shabu...

If you find the place interesting, go early! Their business hour is from 5p.m-11:30p.m daily.
