My second time there. Food was really great. We loved it. Everything was great. We were 6 people and all were impressed. Atmosphere was great, you can chat and the restaurant was not loud. We will come again. Please keep up the good work.
Chanced upon this place as I was googling a for a nice dinner place with the family. Decided to try out and was pretty surprised that the place was rather empty on a weekend night. That did not deter us, and we were treated with a wonderful dinner of steamed seafood, with delicious seafood broth and sweetness collected at the bottom pot and used to cook the last meal of the night - the perfect sweet porridge Corkage was free and great to enjoy this meal with whiskey!
Portions are reasonable but a tad on the pricey side. Food is fresh. A lil hard to find being on the third floor but easy enough once you park the car and view the signage.
My Favorite Place for Steaming Pot with Friends! I’ve been going to this restaurant for many years, and it never disappoints. It’s my go-to spot whenever I want to enjoy a steaming pot meal with friends. The seafood is always fresh, and there’s a great variety to choose from. Prices are reasonable, making it excellent value for the quality you get. Besides steaming pot, they also offer a huge selection of other delicious dishes—there’s something for everyone! Service is consistently great, and Chris is incredibly accommodating—always greeting customers with a warm smile. I also appreciate the food recommendations from Chris; they’ve never steered us wrong. Highly recommend this place for a relaxed, delicious meal with good company!
Highly recommend for friends and family dinner! The steamed seafood with porridge set is their signature and the only one in Penang. Fresh food, good service and nice atmosphere. Definitely will come again.
A group of us ordered the 10 pax steam pot set meal. We enjoyed the healthier steamed food very much and the highlight was with the finale porridge which had collected all the umami essence. They charge RM12 corkage. 2 suggestions for improvements: 1/ the glass noodles were too little in the garlic steamed scallop, almost invisible, suggest to increase the glass noodle portion 2/ the chestnut herbal drink RM16 per jug, was served in a small jug, we had to order 2 jugs just to fill up the glasses for the first round.
Very healthy sumptuous meal, the seafood are delicious and fresh. Love the way it steam the serving in stages allowing the flavour juice to retain unto the porridge under the pan to make it so rich with all the flavour.
The food here is superb and the price is reasonable. They're great at recommending dishes too. Food served in a reasonable fast paced too. The braises pork belly is superb. Only problem is server is not attentive enough. So it's a bit hard to get a hold of them.
