Grilled fish, BBQ and hotpot 3 in 1 for the price of 1. This is a hotpot BBQ buffet with loads of seafood, Korean style marinated meats, shabu shabu meats , greens, hot station with cooked sides, condiments, fruits, duo soup bases and a grilled fish of your choice – all included at no extra charge. (single soup $6/dual soup $10). Due to overwhelming response, the offer is being extended till 31 July 2019!
Included in this buffet is a good size grilled fish of your choice. This grilled fish is available in 2 flavours – spicy fragrant mala and sour pickled cabbage gravy.
The fish is lightly charred with a smoky flavour. Skin is surprising good – still gooey and gelatine-like.
With so much peppercorns, green pepper, red chilli, dried red pepper and thick gravy, this dish has to be intensely flavourful.
The gravy is definitely not the watered down type. Pile on loads of sides from the buffet spread to soak up the briny and savoury mala gravy at no extra charge.
The chunks of meat are delicate and juicy in the piping hot stew of spices, peppers, soy bean sprouts and chopped parsley. Gravy is surprisingly light and can be slurped without feeling jelak.
Pick the pickled cabbage grilled fish over the mala grilled fish if you love something more on the tangy end. The broth is not overly sharp but a mild hint of the sour cabbage.
Different flavours but same good chunks of savoury meat to tantalise your taste buds. Look at the folds of the golden browned skins, these are tell tales signs of a yummy grilled fish. My preference of the two is the mala version of grilled fish with its aromatic and savoury gravy.
Incredible big crab claws or bigger than usual crab claws.
These are unexpectedly big for a buffet of this price range. This is certainty the must whack seafood or the reason I will make return visits.
Real meat claws not water crabs claw. Definition of a water crab is one that has huge shells but once you deshell it, looks like it has been shrunk.
Enough said of the crab in this buffet, let the pictures do the talking.
The hotpot pot size versus the crab claws size. Crab claw wins hands down.
Who needs a seafood hotpot buffet that burns a hole in your pocket? I rather be here.

Big fat creamy oysters. These oysters are such a joy to eat and have a great briny flavour to it. Please help yourselves to unlimited serving of oysters if you love them. However be very gentle when scooping them, as they are very delicate and breaks easily.
Still tender and succulent even after cooking in the hotpot.
In-house special – live demo of tepanyaki style oyster omelette by the crew. The oyster omelette is nicely seasoned and make into an omelette maki. Platted piping hot and served with drizzle of tangy sauce in bite size roll. Yum.

With more than 30 types of condiments, such as pickled green pepper, fermented bean curd, Thai chilli sauce, lao gan ma sauce, sesame sauce, minced beef sauce and many more to DIY your perfect BBQ seafood with or as dips to your hotpot items.
The pickled green pepper has a mild spiciness balanced by the tangy flavour. These go best with the BBQ meats. In-house special chilli sauce for the seafoods, Chinese dried crunchy chilli for oysters and sweet chilli sauce for the baby octopus.
Meat lovers rejoice! They have plenty of shabu shabu meats that are freshly cut in shop. Korean and Chinese style marinated meats at the meat station for BBQ hotpot.

These meats have gone through deep tissue massages and spa inside the kitchen during preparation!
Time to BBQ them! The meats are ready when you see the orangey juices sizzling away and oozing out.
