Golden BBQ and Steamboat *updated

In my earlier post, I mentioned that when Saucer came to visit me, we went for a BBQ and steamboat buffet in a place in town. It's called Golden BBQ Steamboat, well that's what's written in the GPS. *LOL* I also mentioned that I didn't know how to get to this place, you see. That's when the GPS came in handy. We just keyed in the 'steamboat' keyword and it will list out all possible Steamboat restaurants nearby.

GPS working, it's marvellous!

We reached there just before 8pm and the place was already crowded with people. Thank goodness with only the two of us, it was easy to find a small table to squeeze in. :)

Apart from the usual steamboat and BBQ raw meat aligned in the buffet area, there were also several cooked dishes for customers to sample on while waiting for their food to cook. Since my stomach was already growling on the way there, I gladly feasted upon those fried dishes, which turned out to be quite delicious, I must say. Or maybe it was just my empty stomach talking. :P Anyway, their fried food was really crispy and marinated well. And there was also satay to boot!

I was busy eating while Saucer went to load up on the raw food for the steamboat. :) There were a multitude of balls, sotong balls, meatballs, fish balls, beef balls, you name it, they've got it. And there were lots of seafood as well: clams, prawns, cuttlefish, dumplings (sui kow) and mushrooms! Saucer loves mushrooms, so he took most of them, while I was more keen on BBQ-ed meat. :)

Never forget vegetables as well. Fiber is good for you. :)

This was the plate of food that I took. Notice the difference from the plate above taken by Saucer. My plate was mostly filled with marinated meat, ready for BBQ, instead of balls. :) And when I was picking out the meat from the buffet spread, the prawns were just refilled, so I went for a binge of those too.

Look at all the meat nicely arranged on the hot plate. I took those clams as well! And they would really open up nicely once they're cooked. The best part about the clams is that they don't need to be taken care of, because they would never burn!

After the satiating meal, we were both full to the brim. No matter, there was always room for dessert, especially when dessert was something sweet and cold like ice-cream! It's definitely soothing to have those after eating with the heat glaring into your face the whole night. No doubt it's not any good quality ice-cream, but it's free flow! And how I miss those lime-flavoured sorbet covering vanilla ice-cream on a stick! Those were the good old days when I used to buy these kinds of ice-cream after school. :)

They charged RM19.90 nett per person for the all-you-can-eat buffet. The value for money of course is directly proportional to how much you can eat. I thought the environment was pretty awesome, just like those HK street side hawker stalls. True enough the food was nothing to shout about, but it was not bad either. Steamboats and BBQs are meant to be fun because we get to watch our food cook! In case you want to get there, I don't remember the exact address but it's at one of the junctions in Burma road. This junction is brightly lit at night, so I don't think you will miss it. :)
