Operating in the bustling street of
Lorong Selamat Penang, i-steamboat city is a new eatery set up not long ago
which situated right opposite the famous Red Hat Char Koay Teow. As the name
suggested, it offers steamboat, be it buffet style or ala carte. Ambiance-wise,
the place is air-conditioned and they are using the induction cooker for the
steamboat. There could be some improvements needed for their service due to a
lack of man power. Overall, I find it a good place for gathering but it was
just okay in terms of value in return. If you are a steamboat lover, try it out
and let me know in the comments!

i-Steamboat City offers 4 types of soup
bases in total, namely Fish Soup, Tom Yum, Satay as well as Sze Chuan Sour and
Spicy soup. Each diner will be given their own pot of soup as well as their own
soup base. I was not too sure but I felt the thirst right after the meal which
probably they have added quite an amount of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), I had
Fish soup by the way.
Priced at Rm 28.90, the choices for
their steamboat buffet were rather limited but giving a thought that they did
offer some seafood such as Octopus, Abalone Flavor Seasoned Clams, Prawns and Scallops, so I’d say it was okay. Their Deep
Fried Fish and Meat Balls were good according to my friends. Other ingredients
were common, but one thing bothers me, which they did not offer any Tofu. I am
a huge fan of Tofu and it was nowhere to be seen that night. However, things will be even better if they
could have included drinks into their buffet package. Yes, drinks are not
included. Diners need to order for their drinks at their own cost.
There were only 3 types of sauces
available, one of them was Chili sauce but I couldn’t really describe the
remaining two. They were something like Thai style sauce, sweet with a hint of
sourness, not too shabby but I would prefer something hot and simple, like
chopped Bird Eye Chilies.
