Quality steamboat: Xin Chun Seafood Steamboat


Last night me dar & I have a steamboat dinner plan with his buddies at Kota Damansara. His friend recommended this steamboat shop from pulau ketam call Xin Chun. The shop is not located near where all the F&B and it's situated at one corner which you will think there don't have any F&B shop. We took awhile to find the shop.

Since we have 6 persons, we order Ala carte instead of order by head count so that we can have the ingredients that we like. We also ordered their signature dishes: steam big lala ( those with very thick shell) & lala fried meehoon.

The presentation of this 2 dishes are not very nice. I judged the
food when it served and though won't be nice. Surprisingly the mee
hoon taste great because it soak up the sweetness of the lala.
The big lala was steamed with chinese rice wine, ginger and wolfberry.
Fire and duration of steaming are well controlled and the texture of
the lala turn up very nice not too chewy.

thin slice pork
slice of perfection!


the ingredients
As you can see we also ordered giantic pork ball, fish ball, fish
paste wanton, mushroom, fu chuk and tofu pok. The soup they
only have chicken soup and tom yam.


We didn't want to over cook the crab. So we put in 2 crabs into the pot after finished all the ingredients. The crabs are fresh and sweet. I enjoyed the crabs very much because it is so fresh that I thought we are eating in Pulau Ketam :)

Everyone were pleased with the food and service, they have nothing to complaint. Frankly, the chicken soup taste a bit bland. Me dar keep saying that I'm fussy. I'm not being fussy, I just give my feedback on the food and I believe nothing in the world is perfect.

The bill is RM280 and i find it cheap compared to other steamboat shop because the ingredients are fresh, some more we had seafood and 5 bottles of Heineken beer.
