Hotpot Culture

I have make an reservation with hotpot cuulture after reviewing the webpage and recommendation from yebber .

However, to my disappoint as what Pharque had said the food is not as delicious as it is .

On sunday morning i went there with my friend for porridge buffet. And all of us were baffled , as all the food is like SO CHEAP ! i mean the cost to make the food. EXAMPLES : SALTED EGG , SALTED VEGETABLE , HOTDOG IN sweet and sour sauce, The meats only have the three-layer meat , fried duck's meat, fried fish ( TO be frank : All the meat taste below than average , i can get a better one at coffee shop !

END UP , all our mood were destroyed ! ( we were holding a birthday celebration for one of my friends.

SO FOR THE MONEY MaTTER , although you will think it will be worth it .

but i can tell u , it IS NOT WORTH IT ATLL .

A pretty interesting steam boat concept found in the Hotpot culture located at Marina Square. Reason for why i find them interesting is that, it does not only provide steam boat indregients but also the ready cooked food.

Im really not a steamboat fans, but since my friend wants to try them out, i decided to just go along. There are 2 different prices on their ala - carte buffet, if one is going to visit them during weekends, it will cost about 24 bucks, however if one visits them on a weekdays, this buffet price will drops to less than 20 bucks.

Almost every thing that you can find in the menu is considered free flow. Just one thing that is not, will be the drinks. Oh well, just how can one have steam boad without drinks? Haha, so in the end, we have to order some plain water (not mineral water) which is chargeable at 50 cents each.

Some of their items for steam boat were found in the bar, and i certainly do not think that their varieties is alot. They categorise them into two sections - vegetables and meat. For the vegetables section, they have cabbage, yam slices, corn, tomato, etc. As for the meat section, they have hotdogs, fish slices, vegetable balls, prawn balls, tofu, sotong balls, fish balls, crab balls, etc. For a moment, i nearly thought that there were no prawns, beef and mushrooms available. Then did i realize that one will have to specially order for them. Not to worry, they are free flow as well. :)

I pretty like the various types of 'balls' found in the steam boat, each were of a significant size and looks really appetizing when cooked. However, i was pretty disappointed with their mushrooms, as it looked as if they were not washed properly. In the end, we decided to give them a miss.

As for their cooked food varieties, i was certainly impressed. One can find chicken, fish, seafood for their meat section. Not forgetting about tofu and vegetables that were available too. All these cooked food were free flow too. Given the enormous amount of food, its really difficult to taste them all completely. :P

Few of my favorite cooked food, includes the siken toufu, the tahu telor and the handmade meat balls. The siken toufu is super crispy on the outside and super soft in the inside. A marvellous combination and together with some sauce, one will be able to taste the spicy hot (super nice) toufu. Its so nice that i have 3 offerings of that.

The next nice dish have to be the tahu telor. I believe the main ingredient of tahu telor has to be its peanut sauce. And the sauce found here has just the right stickiness and sweetness. One will not feel them over empowering or too nutty.

The handmade meat balls were drizzle slightly with some sauce and this should be considered one of the lightly taste dish. So much so that one of my friend acutally tell me that this dish is tasteless. But, i feel that this dish has a very fragrant smell and the slightly crispy crust gave the meat balls a very delicious taste.

Dessert wise, one cannot forget the chocolate fondue. Although the real fondue may seems very different from the picture shown, it tasted reasonably ok. I pretty like that fact that it uses dark chocolate and together with the sweet marshmellows, bananas and strawberry, it gives one a pretty bitter yet sweet feelings.

Overall, its a pretty decent place to get lots of food. Although not every food can suit alls taste, i believe one should be able to find some to their liking with their varieites of food. Their service was pretty ok and given that is our first time partonizing this shop, they offered to give us some explanation before we start our buffet.
