It seems that the weather is getting back up to speed again. The sun is finally in sight, the temperature is above 25 degrees, and perhaps we can cease worrying whether winter is really coming to Malaysia.
Irregardless if it’s winter or summer in Malaysia, it’s always a good time for some piping hot steamboat. We’ve sourced out some good steamboat locations and best part is, it’s only RM50 (and below!) per person.
1. Happy City
Happy City can be found in three places: two in Kepong and one in Kota Damansara. They are particularly commendable for their seafood that is always fresh. No matter which branch you go, you can be sure that it’ll be packed with both steamboat and barbecue fans, because good seafood is always magnetic. The prices for a steamboat dinner buffet are RM48 per adult, RM33.50 per senior citizen, free for children below 100cm, RM22.50 for children between 101cm and 135cm, and RM48 for children above 135cm.
