Steamboat …… I use to be having this meal only when coming to festive season like Chinese New Year or family celebrations. Steamboat usually are prepared in a feast manner and this is the time where Chinese families get together and eat it.
Time has changed and steamboat are available anyday regardless whether there are any celebrations. On a normal day, we can just walk in to these steamboat buffet restaurants which you just pay a flat price and eat all you can. Dataran Sunway Mentari is one of the most famous spot for cheap and good steamboat area.
Thanks to Rebecca from The Nomad Gourmand, I was invited to food tasting sessions together with Sidney of Big Boys Oven at Restoran Tasty Pot. When we arrive, we are amazed on the size of the steamboat restaurant here.
This restaurant come with open air or indoor table. Most people would prefer to sit outside when eating steamboat as the fire emitted from the stove and also the heat from the steam boat pots. Running a full capacity per night, it can accomodate 200 pax!
I’ve visited a lot steamboat restaurant in Penang in the past but none of them come with this kind of size. Though having so much customers, the environment still airy because the aircond is switched on inside the restaurant to help cool off the environment. The workers were pretty efficient in cleaning up and preparing the table for next customer during peak hours.
What makes Tasty Pot so special was their soup base which offered in 6 different flavors. Usually most restaurants will only serve the clear soup and the Tom Yam soup. Here is a bit different. Here we can get SOYA BEAN SOUP, CURRY SOYA BEAN SOUP, HONG KONG SATIN PORRIDGE, CHONG QING SPICY SOUP (COMMONLY KNOWN AS PEPPERCORN), THAI STYLE TOM YAM SOUP AND HERBAL CHICKEN SOUP.
