I had passed by Tasty Pot a twice last weekend and both instances, its packed with people and everyone seems to be queuing for what looks like a roast lamb that they are serving. I first thought was… wow, roast lamb for a steamboat place.. that’s not bad… but its so crowded.
So, yesterday after work, I decided to head there with Ed and Sky to check it out. The steamboat buffet cost RM23.80 per adult and drinks are additional. Its more pricey comparing to the other competitors in this so called steamboat village in Sunway but their food quality and varities is really a lot better.
They have 6 types of soup that you can choose from… chicken herbal, tomyam, soya bean soup (errr…), curry soya bean soup (lagi… err… ), chong qing spicy soup & HK Satin porridge. We are allowed to choose 2 and we decided on chicken herbal and tomyam… oh ya… they give you a piece of paper to mark yourself what soup and drinks you want, self service is the best service?
Anyhow, we got 1 small problem here, the pot they we got seems to be leaking! As in the tom yam is leaking to the chicken herbal soup… we thought, nevermind… tomyam is still ok… but we found out the hard way… anyway.. back to the food..
Just like most steamboat places here and thanks to Yuen whom revolutionize steamboat buffet to offer chicken wings! So, they have their share of chicken wings here too… not bad.. .as well as curry chicken, fried meehoon, fried rice, fried buns and all sort.
Besides the ready to eat food available, they are also grilled food available… in another competitor’s place, you pick your food they grill for you but here… they technically grilled different stuff one at a time… since its a weekday, I don’t think they have the lamb thing… when I got there, they had grilled potatos, sausages, kembong fish and otak-otak ready… then later grilled satay prawns, sweetcorns and shellfish too!
Then comes the steamboat part, I was already eating all the above before steamboat… ahha… for steamboat, there’s a whole row of stuff to pick from of more than 150 choices! The good thing is all the quality of stuff here for steamboat is not bad as well…. crabs, prawns, fish balls, foo chok, etc. are all available. Oh ya, this place serve no pork, so your non pork eating friends can come too.
The food here is good, varities is plenty and very fresh.. althought its a premium pricing but its worth it… we paid RM23.80 per pax plus RM7.00 for a pot of tea for sharing in total.

the most disgusting steamboat I have ever eat. The seafood is not fresh,
for example
1) stingray meat should be solid, but today is so soft and it smell funny.
2) the prawn smell funny too
3) Lala still have sand inside it, end up the whole pot is full of sand
Not many variety to choose from. The boss told us went we were seated down that they have 150 items to choose from but on the tables is less than 100, he also said got new zealand lamb, where got need to side order.
This shop is con man, why i tick on the menu chinese tea ice and it is written serve in pot but ended up they give me chinese tea ice serve in cup somemore charge us RM1 per cup.
I asked the boss but he tell us dont have wor… it is served in cup…. but i told him it is written serve in pot…. he just say sorry and walk away…
RM23.80 it is not worth it, the food quality is bad, not much choice to choose from, the service is bad, the soup base taste horrible.
I better pay a little bit more can eat shabu shabu buffet.

This ‘disgusted’ must be some nearby competitor, going around to every blog about this tasty pot and post the same cut and paste comments.
I have only been there once, and its ok. Nothing fantastic but its excellent value for money.
To say the food is disgusting, come on. Go back and work harder on your own stalls and stop doing this kind of idiotic flaming.

I went there two weeks ago. It’s really value for money. The crabs were huge and the prawns were very fresh. The tea was served in a pot @ RM8.00 (there’re 11 of us). I’ve told some friends about it and am definitely going there again.

walau a!!! this restaurant ruined my new year eve!! the soup is TASTELESS … and they charge us for the spoon chopsticks and the plates which are wrapped in plastic?!! and no pork n beef are served… rm207 for 6 pax which including one pot of tea… not recommended to eat at all. There are way many better restaurant that offer cheaper and more valuable steamboat buffet
