Best Steamboats in Ipoh

Written by Updated ago

Locally called 'steamboat' but commonly referred around the world as 'hot pot', a steamboat meal is loved by locals mainly for its practice. Sitting around a table with a hot pot of stew right as the centrepiece while sharing dinner and having conversations with family and friends is truly a warm and loving experience. While steamboats are best enjoyed in cold weather, we Malaysians are practically chameleons whenever it comes down to good food. Who cares about the hot and humid weather? If we want some good steamboat, we will have some good steamboat! It’s as simple as that. So check out these spots in Ipoh where you'll be able to find a hearty meal.

    If you're in for some modern, premium and luxurious style of steamboat, then you've got to pay D Steamboat Restaurant a visit. This fairly dark and cozy place is always packed with customers for 2 reasons, a great ambiance as well as a spread of awesome steamboat ingredients. Unfortunately, this isn't a buffet place so you might have to control yourself, but on the bright side, there's plenty of set meals for everyone. Their best includes Wagyu beef slices, Australian lamb, and Berkshire pork loin. Each of these sets comes with their respective sides of vegetables and assorted balls. Also, there are 6 different broths to choose from; Kun Pu, Hot & Spicy, Tom Yam, Herbal, Sam Sou, and Miso.

    Restoran Shabu Shabu & Stimboat is indeed a really huge place. This 'kampung' style decor has more than 100 variety of fresh seafood, meat, vegetables and more. The contrast of design from both the interior and exterior is quite vast as internally, the place is modern, clean and well maintained while the exterior remains pretty traditional. With its brightly lit exterior, one can certainly spot them from afar, which is great! As for the buffet spread, you'll not only get the standard range of meat and vegs, but rather, a section where ready made items such as satay, grilled fish, grilled crab and many more are served.

Also, children below 100cm in height eat for free! As per the name, nothing short of good times is expected here.

    Spicy Hotpot Restaurant lives up to its name with its Signature Chongqing chicken base which is spicy and delicious. Non-spicy food fans, fret not, as there is also non-spicy options here. Ingredients such as fish heads, meat and seafood are abundant alongside various types of vegetables. The hotpot here is much thick and rich compared to the other steamboat broths in the list, which might remind you of assam pedas and it is exactly that which makes Spicy Hotpot special. And you can enjoy your meal with servings of rice.
