  The only reason I come here is because it’s very near to my house – if I suddenly have a craving for steamboat. Before they were close for a ong break for CNY, I already find their set expensive. Now they have reopened their set is even more sad (pork meat at the end of the table + tray beside which contains a few veggies, one fishball, one porkball, one crabstick, one corn, straw mushrooms, pumpkin). My description of the food in the tray is more than the actual food in the tray.Their chili sauce mixed in garlic in nice, their miso soup base is good. If you don’t order the set you need to pay for the soup. Even if you order Ala-Carte item you still need to pay for the soup which I think it’s ridiculous.Service is good.Overall I would say it’s an average steamboat (3 out of 10 point), nothing to shout about. For the price you pay you would have expected it to be more than average. It’s okay to have it once in a blue moon or emergency craving if not then no.

  Jiro Shabu, indeed for the Japanese dip-dip/steamboat. Quite a variety of choices and opt between the types of thinly sliced meat (pork, chicken and lamb), the vegetables, the broth/soups and noodles as per the menu. Perhaps you would also prefer or would like to top up your meal with a couple of items from the conveyor/kaiten belt items that got me spilling for a while. And there’s the beverages and for the chill burst, ice cream.

  The Japanese dip-dip – opt between the types of thinly sliced meat (pork, chicken and lamb), the vegetables, the broth/soups and noodles as per the menu. Or the conveyor/kaiten belt items that got me spilling for a while. And there’s the beverages and for the chill burst, ice cream. I was alone, so logically the “one person” pork set meal – veggies, pork and for the soup, tom yam please! Into the simmered soup, I added the items and of course, the chilli-chilli dips (self-service) the must have spiciness for every meal. This meal filling enough but for me, too much to handle. The noodle I didn’t touch neither did I add in the broth. I mean why waste if you can’t eat. While and after eating, the spiciness washed down with the hot green tea and the fresh slice of watermelon. Thereafter came the tiny glass of lime juice with crushed ice and over a bed of ice. Looking at the drink, I didn’t know what to do. I thought to wash my hands (really, yes). I stared at the drink and then called the foreign waiter to ask. Well, to gulp down at one go after the meal. Concentrated, refreshing and chilled, so little, mmm!! Definitely wasn’t enough. I won’t mind returning here again. I like soupy food, price I can pay (RM20.90 inclusive of a dollar for the wet towel) and it is a decent place for the “don’t disturb me, I prefer to eat alone” days.
