Zhong Hua Steamboat

This place is always booming with people whenever I walk past. But was surprised to find many seats available on a Saturday night at 7pm! They don’t take reservations so I was pretty excited that we were able to choose our seats! We took a four-​persons table inside. Though it got pretty warm after a while, it was still better than outside with all the car fumes.
The spread was pretty decent — lots of vegetable varieties, meat (lean beef, pork, liver, fish, chicken etc), tofu, noodles (bee hoon, yellow noodle, maggie mee etc). The soup selection was good as well. We order half chicken herbal soup and laksa soup. We heard that the laksa soup was awesome and we weren’t disappointed! The laksa gravy was the right texture (not too diluted or thick) and had delicious bits of dried shrimp in it (hae bee hiam)
There were also some hot food selections but I didn’t try those. Noticed that the other patrons were busily cooking their food and neglected the hot food. Dessert collection was non-​existent. Fruits were available and drinks was free flow!
At a reasonable price of $ 19.90++ on Fri-​Sun and $ 18.90++ on all other days, it is really worth it.
*Note: Place gets crowded from around 7.30pm onwards when everyone starts to walk in. There is a queue from 8.30pm onwards.
