Steamboat Meal At Mizi Shabu Shabu

I love steamboat meals especially on a cold rainy day. Do you?

Last Sunday, I went to Mizi Shabu Shabu Restaurant in Bandar Puteri Puchong for dinner with my family.

Maybe it was not a right choice to eat steamboat on such a hot night but it was an air-conditioned restaurant, so that's OK.

I ordered the Beef Slice Set which was priced at RM20.90.

There were many sets to choose from. My brother chose the Pork Slice Set (RM37.80) and my parents chose the Family Combo Set (RM29.90). (Sorry no pictures of their sets as I was too hungry and needed to quickly put the raw ingredients into my steamboat pot!)

Now I know many bloggers have already blogged about this restaurant so I shall keep it simple here. If you want to see photos of the restaurant's interior and exterior please google it : )

This is my raw beef slices. Ooh! Could not wait to cook them!

Oh! I managed to take a photo of my brother's raw pork slices. Haha!

I like Mizi Shabu Shabu because they have individual steamboat pot for each person. This is definitely more hygienic. I still remember eating at Yuen Steamboat in Subang and Ho Ho Steamboat in Sri Petaling where everyone dips his or her chopsticks into one pot! Arghh!

You can control the fire on your own, right below the table top. Nice!

This is my cooked beef slices. Yummylicious!!

And the shui gao or dumplings. Delicious!

So what differentiates Mizi Shabu Shabu from the other steamboat restaurants? It is their unique, one-of-a kind sauce which is made from a mixture of sesame, peanut chunks, onions, finger chillies, sugar and soy sauce!

We all loved the sauce so much all of us went for second helpings. The good thing is, they do not charge you for the extra sauce!

Look! I even placed extra sauce as toppings on my cooked noodles! Yummy!!

The restaurant was clean, the ingredients were all fresh and the service was pretty good. I do not mind coming back here again. Highly recommended!

If you can eat a lot and prefer steamboat buffet style, Mizi also has another restaurant nearby in Bandar Puteri Puchong catering specially for buffet lovers. As for me, I still prefer ala-carte style. That's to ensure that I don't overeat!

My Lunches At Gobo Chit Chat

I seldom eat at Gobo Chit Chat Restaurant in Traders Hotel KL. But on that Sun afternoon in January, I was at the KL Convention Centre with my friends to attend Lillian Too's Fengshui Extravaganza 2011.

We decided to have out lunch break at Gobo Chit Chat which was just a short distance away from Plenary Hall where we had our seminar.

We started off with a complimentary appetizer of bread and butter. I always like to eat these bread before the main meal!

I had nasi goreng kampung. It was quite delicious with the egg, keropok, chicken meat, satay, and acar.

My friend ate the nasi lemak. She said it was not bad!

Another friend tried the Singapore mee hoon. It was pretty good, according to her.

Located on the 5th floor of Traders Hotel, Gobo Chit Chat also serves buffet for lunch and dinner, but we decided not to go for the buffet as we only had one hour for lunch. So ala-carte it was. The price was pretty pricey but that's to be expected eating at a restaurant in a hotel.

Lillian Too and her entourage also had lunch at Gobo Chit Chat so we actually waited for her to leave before we left our table. Well, the seminar could not possibly resume without her right? LOL!

Two weeks later on another Sunday in January, after my return from my trip in Manila, Philippines, my friends and I attended Joey Yap's Feng Shui & Astrology Seminar at the same venue.

Needless to say, we had our lunch at the same restaurant. It was the most convenient place (not too far away) and not over crowded (as it was quite pricey).

I decided to have the Singapore mee hoon this time as I was not very hungry after that morning breakfast of lum mee and roti babi at Yut Kee Restaurant.

My friend decided on naan with red tandoori chicken meat.

I tried a bit and it was pretty good especially when dipped into the sauces.

My other friend decided to try the char koay teow but found it too oily.

Perhaps I should drop by this restaurant again for the buffet if I attend any seminars at KL Convention in future. Or a buffet dinner would be good as after dinner, I could go up to the 33rd floor of Traders Hotel and chill out at SkyBar!

Now that's food for thought. Anyone want to join me?
