Well, as previously mentioned, they not only have a Steamboat Buffet spread to offer but also some ala carte food items for you to choose from. And to be honest, I was quite surprised at the variety that was offered on top of the Steamboat Buffet spread.
You've got the works. Beef, chicken, seafood and vegetables among other things.
They even have a wide selection of crab dishes for you to choose from including Chilli Crab and Black Pepper Crab. The most interesting of the lot is actually the Cheese Crab!
Well, we didn't have any crabs. But we did have something new though.
We actually ordered this special set menu offer that they had.
For $8 per pax, you get to choose from a wide range of dishes from this special menu.
The great thing is, the more people eating, the more dishes you get to choose. Consfused?
Well, 2-4 pax get to choose 3 dishes, 5-7 pax get 5 dishes and 8-10 pax get 7 dishes. Not bad right?
And all come with soup and rice!

| Spring Onion Beef |
The meat was super duper tender and it was drowning in any sauce. Stir-fried simply to perfections with some spring onions and carrots. I still can't get over how tender the beef was.
Even if we didn't have the set meal, we'd probably order this ala carte because it's a must have!
Anyways the only other beef dish you can choose from the set menu is Black Pepper Beef.

| Coffee Chicken |
To be honest, it was actually pretty nice.
The chicken was tender and the sauce was not overpowering. It really tasted like coffee!
To closest thing I can compare the taste with is that Roti Boy bread because of the coffee and butter combination going on.
Not in the mood for coffee? Well you can also choose from more classic options like Kung Po Chicken and Mango Chicken.

| Fried Chili Prawn |
By the way, the prawns actually look bigger in the picture than in real life. They're not the big tiger prawns you might be expecting but they're medium sized, fresh and definitely reasonable. The sambal itself was quite tasty and not too spicy.
Bring the lazy guy I am, I would have preferred if the prawns were peeled... :P
Other seafood options include Curry Fish, Black Pepper Butter Prawn, Sweet and Sour Fish, Cereal Prawn and the simple Salt and Pepper Prawn. You can also order side dishes like several Tofu dishes, Ngoh Hiang or Spring Roll as well.
As you can see, being the greedy buggers that we are, we ordered all meat for our 3 dish choices and no veggies at all! But we can't have a good meal without some veggies right??

| Sambal Kangkong ($8.00) |
Okay so this was pretty okay lah. Nothing like super spectacular in my view. Most probably because I like my Sambal Kangkong to be a little wetter. As you can see from the picture above, it's kinda dry...
But if you're like my brother, you'll probably like it...
Adam's Verdict:
Spring Onion Beef 5/5 -- Coffee Chicken 4/5 -- Fried Chili Prawn 2.5/5
Sambal Kangkong 3/5
Azlan's Verdict:
Spring Onion Beef 5/5 -- Coffee Chicken 4/5 -- Fried Chili Prawn 3/5
Sambal Kangkong 4/5
Wow let me tell you this.
Steamboat Buffet? Superb! Don't feel like Steamboat? No problem! Because their ala carte rocks too!
Maybe next time it's time for the crabs...

ReplyDeleteHi.. do u know will they serve before 5.30pm? Since the steamboat starts at 5.30pm? Will the buffet cooked food be available instead?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Hi there! Thanks for your comment!
DeleteWe have actually seen people enjoying the Steamboat Buffet in the earlier part of the afternoon but they seem to be part of tour groups most of the time.
Perhaps it would be best to check directly with them to avoid disappointment!
Call 6836 2389 and double check ok! :)
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI went to Royal Kublai Khan yesterday and the food there were disappointing. Most of the spread were finger foods. The steamboat items were not as much as the time you went. The buffet spread and steamboat items were gone 30 minutes after we were seated and they took too long to replenish the spread. I didn't think what I ate amounted to $23.50. ):
Hi there! Thanks for your comment!
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your recent visit there. We haven't visited in quite awhile and I guess based on your comment it seems as if standards have dropped? Well, hopefully it was a one-off and we will update everyone on that current state of things if we get to visit soon Insya Allah.
Thanks again!
