The only halal steamboat i know in town. The Steamboat, Ketam Village.
I’ve actually read quite positive online reviews about this steamboat restaurant. Each time i passed by the branch in Ikano i would be tempted to go in, the sweet steamboat aroma cajoling. But i have my reservations – it is a halal steamboat after all… and you see i love pork haha!
Anyways, we were at Petsmore in Desa Park City coz i was looking for a conditioner for Kobe’s super sensitive coat. It just stopped raining and was breezy and cold – a very pleasant change from the super hot weather we get almost everyday now.
Nice weather warrant a nice dinner right?
Right!
The view at The Steamboat, Ketam Village in Desa Park City is really great. Overlooking the lake (sorry the lake is not visible in this photo) and the park where kids and adults are flying kites and remote planes, people bringing their dogs for a stroll, it’s a very relaxing environment. With a view like this, we of course had chosen to be seated outdoors.
The restaurant was really crowded. Although we were there early, almost all the tables were already occupied if not reserved. One thing for sure is the staff were in a frenzy, very busy running here and there.
I didn’t feel comfortable at all with all the running about. The staff were so busy they even forgotten to serve us the green chili. Ok, i didn’t know about that until i read in blogs that they have a selection of chili and dips. They didn’t give us any except for the normal red chili paste
.
For the 2 of us, we had placed order for the Double Combo Value Set with additional golden mushroom (my fav!) and sliced beef. I had the clear soup while Mr. Bf had the tom yam soup so we could compare.
The ingredient was fresh and the soup wasn’t bad although not really great. Pretty decent for a halal steamboat.
It’s good that we both had our personal steamboat pot so we could enjoy our own style of steamboat. But for me, it was just so, so. Considering that the dinner cost RM52.35, we could have had better at any of the Bandar Menjalara steamboat restaurant for below RM30.
I think the price went up compared to last year. I viewed a blog post which was written on Oct 2008, the Double Combo Value Set was priced at RM29.80 while ours was at RM32.80!
So, food wise it was alright, price wise above average but environment wise great.
Double Combo Value Set – RM32.80
Golden Mushroom – RM3.90
Sliced Beef – RM6.90
Chinese Tea (refill) – RM1.20
Soya Bean – RM2.80
Total: RM52.35 (RM47.60 + RM4.76 service)
