Steamboat at Macalister

Penang has been raining cats and dogs for the past few weeks. Unlike KL, i'm tugging hard on my blanket almost every night. Because of this, despite the economy crisis, a few of us (mua house mates and frens) have decided to pamper ourselves for a hot steamy steamboat buffet

Town Steamboat Buffet

It is located at No 63, Macaliser Road, 10400 Penang. Its business hours are from 5.30pm - 11.30pm daily. Call 04-2297273 (call after 5pm) for booking as it is always fully booked

7 of us went and it cost RM 19.90 each. For the amount of food they have, it is affordable and they have varieties of seafood, fried stuffs and shabu shabu. They even have satay, ice kacang and lok-lok stalls (in which u must order, but no extra charges). Dim sum are also part of their buffet menu.

Shabu-shabu pot. Honestly we fried most of the seafood.

Shark's Fins Soup. Limited to one bowl per person

they even have a Renaissance background

The best chefs in the world are men. Too bad we don't fall into that category

Overall the place was indeed good. The place is not hot, the food are fresh, lotsa varieties (they replenish very fast) and the desserts are good too (ice creams, guai ling gao, jellies). They even provide a small playroom for kids to run around and not knocking pots down. So to round this all up, I would say one of the nicer steamboat place I've been too.
